    Abstract Keratoconus is a bilateral, asymmetric and progressive corneal disease. It usually results in apical thinning and steepening with corneal deformation and impaired vision. Since the early 1990 s, corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) has remained the primary treatment to stabilize the progression of the disease. Iontophoresis-assisted CXL (I-CXL) has been proposed as a non-invasive alternative to standard epithelium-off technique, showing promising results. In this article, we review up to date literature to provide state of art knowledge and future perspectives of I-CXL.

    Abstract Purpose: Spreading from China, COVID-19 pandemic reached Italy, the first massively involved western nation. At the beginning of March, 2020 in Northern Italy a complete lockdown of activities was imposed. Access to all healthcare providers, was halted for patients with elective problems. We present the management experience of the Humanitas Clinical and Research Center Ophthalmology Department in Rozzano, Milan, Italy, during the lockdown.
    Methods: Containment measures were taken to reduce viral transmission and identify infected patients. All planned visits were canceled but for those not deferrable. Social distancing was introduced reducing number of visits per hour. Minor surgery for progressive pathologies was continued. As the lockdown prolonged, we reorganized patient care. All canceled cases were evaluated by electronic medical records analysis and telephonic triage, to identify, recall, and visit patients at risk of vision loss.
    Results: From March 9, to April 30, 2020 we performed a total of 930 visits and 612 exams. Some visits (
    Conclusion: In-office activities deemed not deferrable were performed safely. The recall service was highly appreciated by all patients. No patient or staff member reported symptoms of COVID-19.

RESULTS: From March 9, to April 30, 2020 we performed a total of 930 visits and 612 exams. Some visits (n = 698) and exams (n = 160) were deemed as necessary for continuity of care and performed as planned. Among the remaining 1283 canceled appointments, after evaluation 144 visits and 32 instrumental exams were classified as urgent and rapidly rescheduled. Performed surgical activities were limited to corneal collagen cross linking (n = 39) and intravitreal injections (n = 91), compared to 34 and 94, respectively, in the same period of 2019. CONCLUSION: In-office activities deemed not deferrable were performed safely. The recall service was highly appreciated by all patients. No patient or staff member reported symptoms of COVID-19.

    Abstract Purpose: To report 3 cases of stromal rejection after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) assisted by a femtosecond laser.
    Methods: Three keratoconus eyes of 2 men (22 and 30 years old) and 1 woman (24 years old) who had DALK with a 60-kHz femtosecond laser developed intrastromal graft rejection with superficial and deep neovascularization after 6, 15, and 12 months, respectively. All patients underwent confocal microscopy and were treated with topical steroid therapy.
    Results: In vivo confocal microscopy revealed cellular inflammatory infiltrates in the subepithelial and middle stroma of the donor lamella without involvement of the endothelium. Graft rejection was rapidly reversed with topical steroid therapy, and a clear cornea was restored in all cases.
    Conclusions: Graft rejection remains a significant complication of lamellar surgery but is associated with good tissue restoration and complete visual recovery.
