Topography-Guided Corneal Crosslinking for Keratoconus: Is It Enough to Treat t...
Cortinhal, Telmo; Gil, João; Rosa, Andreia; Quadrado, Maria João; Murta, JoaquimINTRODUCTION: Our objective is to report topographic and refractive outcomes in the first year following topography guided corneal crosslinking (TG-CXL) for keratoconus, with special focus given to the morphological changes in the superior, non-treated, corneal stroma. METHODS: Retrospective study. We included patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent TG-CXL: The epithelium was removed using photother...
Remendo Corneano
Cabral Costa, Celso; Bernardes, Luís; Quadrado, Maria JoãoDoente do sexo feminino, 62 anos, com queixas de diminuição de acuidade visual e grave desconforto ocular à esquerda, com 2 anos de evolução, depois de cirurgia de pterígio, tendo sido feito diagnóstico de dellen. Foi realizado recobrimento do dellen com enxerto lamelar de córnea dadora, em crescente,1,2 com 260 μm de espessura, cortada com microqueratótomo, tendo sido usado um trepano de 5,00 mm do lado cornea...
A Relação entre a Personalidade e a Satisfação do Doente Após Cirurgia de Catar...
Pinheiro, Rosa L.; Raimundo, Miguel; Gil, João Q.; Henriques, Jorge; Rosa, Andreia M.; Quadrado, Maria João; Lobo, Conceição; N. Murta, JoaquimIntrodução: As lentes multifocais (mLIO) estão associadas a fenómenos ópticos indesejados, que contribuem para a insatisfação dos doentes no pós-operatório. Os resultados reportados pelos doentes são indicadores de qualidade cada vez mais valorizados na avaliação dos resultados da cirurgia com mIOL. A tolerância individual aos halos e aos brilhos à volta das luzes e, consequentemente, a satisfação dos doentes n...
Surgical Management of Bilateral Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
Lomelino Pinheiro, Rosa; Gil, João; Quadrado, Maria João; Murta, JoaquimAt the age of 43 years-old, a man was left with bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency after an ocular alkaline burn with lime, which resulted in corneal opacification. After multiple unsuccessful surgical attempts to restore vision, including penetrating keratoplasties and Boston keratoprosthesis, visual acuity was counting fingers in the left eye. At 73 years of age, the patient underwent another surgery in hi...

Design Online cross-sectional survey. Setting General population in France, Italy, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain a...
Tear Film Mediators After Corneal Cross-Linking: Methodology Validation
Costa, Celso; Araújo, Mariana; Rosa, Andreia; Gil, João; Quadrado, Maria João; Tavares, Cristina; Costa, Esmeralda; Fernandes, Rosa; Costa, LígiaIntroduction: Currently, the gold-standard treatment of progressive keratoconus (KC) is corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), in which riboflavin and ultraviolet-A radiation increase the corneal biomechanical rigidity, arresting progression. However, post-operatory results vary significantly among patients. Although it has been suggested that corneal thickness, cone location and patient’s age are important fact...
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Pediatric Patients: Ten Year Experience
Félix, Raquel; Gonçalves, Guilherme; Gil, João; Costa, Esmeralda; Rosa, Andreia; Tavares, Cristina; Quadrado, Maria João; Murta, JoaquimINTRODUCTION: Keratoconus (KC) is a corneal ectatic disorder characterized by pro- gressive corneal thinning and steepening. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) uses riboflavin and ultraviolet-A radiation to induce cross-links in the stromal collagen, increasing its biomechanical rigidity and halting the progression of KC. Different protocols of CXL have been proposed throughout the years to improve clinical r...
