Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) is a specialised corneal transplant procedure designed to address conditions affecting the front layers of the cornea, such as keratoconus, corneal ectasias, corneal scars, and corneal dystrophies. In DALK, the damaged front layers of the cornea are replaced with healthy layers from a donor cornea, aiming to restore vision and improve eye health. If you’re experiencing these conditions, consult with us to explore if DALK is the right solution for you. For more details, visit-https://www.sussexeyelaserclinic.co.uk/corneal-transplants/

Intra-ocular pressure variation associated with the wear of scleral lenses of different diameters. Michaud L, et al. Cont Lens Anterior Eye. 2019. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30054088/ Abstract PURPOSE: To evaluate the variation of intra-ocular pressure during scleral lens wear, and the influence of the lens diameter on the results. METHODS: This is a prospective, randomized study performed on Caucasian subjects (16 F; 5 M), aged 24.7 + 4.1 y.o. A diurnal variation pattern (IOPg) was established, then, transpalpebral IOP (IOPt) was taken before and during SL wear. One eye, randomly fitted with a 15.8 diameter SL (L1), was compared to the fellow eye, fitted with an 18 mm SL of the same design, thickness and material (L2). Anterior segment tomography was taken pre-and after lens removal. RESULTS: Baseline IOPg (L1:15.2 + 3.1 mm HG; L2: 15.1 +/- 2.8 mm) did not reveal significant diurnal variations. Wearing L1, IOPt rose from 10.1 + 1.9 mm HG to 14.4 + 5.5 mm HG after 4.5 + 0.3 hrs, while with L2, it rose from 9.2 + 2.1 mm HG to 14.4 + 4.8 mm Hg. This difference is statistically significant based on time but not on lenses. Anterior segment parameters did not vary except for the anterior chamber volume (L1: -1.53 + 7.61 mm3; L2: -3.47 + 6.4 mm3), and for the corneal thickness (+2.1% with L1 and L2). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that, as evaluated with a non-standard transpalpebral methodology, IOP during scleral lens wear may be increased in average by 5 mm Hg, regardless of the lens diameter. More work is needed to confirm if practitioners should be warned when using SL on populations at risk for glaucoma. Copyright © 2018 British Contact Lens Association. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

One of our favorite meetings #GSLS is now virtual... Team Diaton attended the event. There were lot's of new clinical research and posters related to speciality lenses. One of the reasons it's important for us is that in the last number of years researchers have found that scleral lenses may elevate intraocular pressure IOP and suggested that IOP should be measured and monitored while lenses are on. Our transpalpebral and scleral tonometry technology #diaton allows to measure and monitor IOP with scleral lenses on the eye.
