Abstract:
An elderly male with monocular status presented with complaints of gradual loss of vision in his left eye. Slit-lamp evaluation revealed postradial keratotomy (RK) corneal decompensation. He underwent non-Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (nDSAEK) in his left eye. Postoperatively, his visual acuity improved from counting finger at 1 m to 20/200, J5. Graft adherence was good. A preexisting epiretinal membrane with macular edema was noted, but our patient refused any further surgical intervention for the same. In conclusion, nDSAEK may be considered as an effective treatment modality for the management of post-RK corneal decompensation.

Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV)
ASV is used to determine metals and metalloids at trace levels. It involves two steps: deposition and stripping. First, a negative potential is applied to the...

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
