Potential contraindications to scleral lens wear
2019, Contact Lens and Anterior EyeCitation Excerpt :Consistent with this hypothesis, ECD remains unchanged during the use of soft and corneal RGP contact lenses [171]. Reduction in ECD may also be associated with surgery of the vitreous or retina, glaucoma repair, cataract or keratoplasty [155–160]. The Cornea Donor Study Investigator Group measured ECD five years after successful penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and found cell loss of 70% [172].

2009, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :This demonstrates that DSEK is a relatively astigmatism-neutral surgery, as would be expected from the cataractlike incision. Table 4 describes the mean endothelial cell loss in published series of 11 eyes or more after both PK and DSEK.16,89,90,99,101,102,106,109,111–113,119–125 Mean percent endothelial cell loss in PK ranged from 11% to 29% at 2 to 6 months, 16% to 45% at 12 months, and 29% to 54% at 24 months.

2008, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Measurement imprecision and factors that were difficult to quantify, such as surgical trauma and variation between patients in the response to surgical trauma, probably contributed to the substantial amount of residual variance. The cumulative percentage of cell loss in the first 2 years after small-incision DSEK was within the range reported in other EK series and also was within the range that has been reported historically after PK (Table 3).3,9,15–17,19,21–23 However, it should be noted that the 2 earliest cited PK series were performed before routine use of viscoelastic, and that may have contributed to increased cell loss.15,21
