Medical Writer Needed – Narrative Review (Cornea / Endothelial Keratoplasty) I am looking for an experienced medical researcher or ophthalmology writer to write several sections of a high-quality evidence-based narrative review intended for publication in an ophthalmology journal. Topic: Optimizing Graft Recovery After Endothelial Keratoplasty: An Evidence-Based Review of Postoperative Medical Therapy This is NOT a general literature review. The review must be written in the style of publications in Ophthalmology, Cornea, American Journal of Ophthalmology, British Journal of Ophthalmology, JAMA Ophthalmology, or Progress in Retinal and Eye Research. ⸻ Scope The writer will complete the following sections: 5. Evidence-Based Medical Therapy A. Hyperosmotic Therapy Cover: * Hypertonic sodium chloride 5% * Mechanism of action * Drops versus ointment * Clinical evidence * Timing of initiation * Duration of therapy * Best candidates * Limitations * Comparative efficacy * Overnight hypertonic ointment * Morning visual blur * Key clinical message: * reduces corneal hydration * does NOT restore endothelial function Also discuss: * Glycerol (glycerin) * Temporary corneal dehydration * Diagnostic use * Therapeutic use * Evidence after endothelial keratoplasty * Clearly state that routine postoperative evidence is scarce Other hyperosmotic therapies: * Mannitol * Experimental osmotic therapies ⸻ B. Anti-inflammatory Therapy Discuss: Topical corticosteroids * Mechanism * Reduction of postoperative inflammation * Endothelial protection * Prevention of inflammatory endothelial dysfunction * Standard postoperative regimens * Steroid potency * Tapering strategies * Steroid response * Steroid-induced glaucoma * Risk-benefit balance between rejection prevention and steroid complications NSAIDs * Current evidence * Potential advantages * Potential disadvantages * Why NSAIDs are not routinely recommended after endothelial keratoplasty ⸻ C.

Ocular Surface Optimization Discuss: * Preservative-free artificial tears * Lubricating ointments * Dry eye treatment * Meibomian gland dysfunction * Blepharitis * Epithelial healing * Relationship between ocular surface optimization and visual recovery ⸻ F. Emerging Medical Therapies Discuss: * ROCK inhibitors * Cultured endothelial cells * Cell injection therapy * Gene therapy * Mitochondrial protection * Regenerative medicine * Future pharmacologic targets ⸻ Section 6 Therapies with Limited or Insufficient Evidence Include: * Glycerol * Oral hyperosmotics * Antioxidants * Growth factors * Autologous serum * Other experimental agents Clearly distinguish: * Biological plausibility * Experimental evidence * Clinical evidence * Current recommendations The review should clearly identify which therapies are promising versus those that currently lack sufficient evidence. ⸻ Section 7 When Medical Therapy Is Not Enough Discuss situations where medical therapy cannot reverse: * Large graft detachment * Primary graft failure * Severe endothelial cell loss * Chronic stromal fibrosis * Irreversible graft failure Include discussion of: * Rebubbling * Repeat endothelial keratoplasty * Conversion to penetrating keratoplasty 8. Viral Endotheliitis and Viral Reactivation Discuss: * HSV, VZV, and CMV endotheliitis after endothelial keratoplasty * Pathophysiology and risk factors * Clinical presentation and differential diagnosis from graft rejection * Diagnostic workup (including aqueous PCR when indicated) * Medical management (topical steroids, antiviral therapy, prophylaxis) * Impact on endothelial cell loss, graft clarity, graft survival, and repeat keratoplasty * Current evidence and recommendations for antiviral prophylaxis in high-risk patients ⸻ Requirements The manuscript must be evidence-based, not opinion-based. The writer should prioritize: * Randomized controlled trials * Meta-analyses * Systematic reviews * Prospective studies * Landmark clinical studies * AAO Preferred Practice Patterns * Cornea Society recommendations (where applicable) Avoid relying on review articles unless they are used only for background. ⸻ Referencing * Every scientific statement must be supported by a citation. * References should preferably be from the last 10 years, while landmark older studies should be included when essential. * Use Vancouver referencing style. * Cite high-impact journals whenever possible. ⸻ Writing Style The writing should resemble that of: * Ophthalmology * Cornea * American Journal of Ophthalmology * British Journal of Ophthalmology * JAMA Ophthalmology It should be suitable for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. ⸻ Figures and Tables Where appropriate, create original (not copied) figures and evidence-summary tables. Examples include: * Treatment algorithms * Mechanism diagrams * Evidence summary tables * Clinical decision pathways * Comparison tables Do not reproduce copyrighted figures. ⸻ Important This is not an AI-generated content project. I expect a scholarly review based on critical appraisal of the literature. Statements should distinguish between high-quality evidence, low-quality evidence, expert opinion, and theoretical rationale. Unsupported claims or generic summaries will not be accepted. The final manuscript should read as if written by an experienced cornea researcher for publication in a high-impact ophthalmology journal

Endothelial keratoplasty outcomes depend critically on distinguishing evidence-based medical therapy from theoretical rationale—a distinction that separates publishable work from generic reviews. This narrative review requires systematic appraisal of RCTs, meta-analyses, and landmark studies across hyperosmotic agents, corticosteroids, ROCK inhibitors, IOP optimization, and emerging therapies, with explicit grading of evidence quality at each claim. The manuscript demands deep familiarity with ophthalmology journal standards (Ophthalmology, Cornea, JAMA Ophthalmology), cornea-specific literature, and the ability to construct original evidence-summary tables and clinical decision pathways without reproducing copyrighted material. Each section requires integration of mechanistic understanding with clinical outcomes data, particularly for ROCK inhibitors, steroid-induced complications, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor physiology in compromised endothelium. Deliverables include sections 5–8 written to publication standard with Vancouver referencing, prioritizing studies from the last decade while incorporating essential landmark work. Original figures and comparative efficacy tables will clarify treatment algorithms and evidence hierarchy. The review will explicitly identify which therapies are evidence-supported versus those lacking sufficient clinical data, ensuring peer-reviewers encounter no unsupported claims or generic summaries. Timeline and revision structure: Full manuscript with Turnitin plagiarism and AI detection reports included.

Endothelial keratoplasty outcomes depend critically on distinguishing evidence-based medical interventions from theoretical rationale—a distinction that separates publication-ready manuscripts from rejected submissions. This narrative review demands systematic evaluation of hyperosmotic therapy, anti-inflammatory regimens, ROCK inhibitors, IOP management, and emerging treatments through the lens of RCTs, meta-analyses, and landmark studies rather than consensus opinion. The manuscript requires technical competency across multiple domains: pharmacologic mechanisms at the corneal endothelium level, critical appraisal of ophthalmology literature across high-impact journals, structured comparison of clinical evidence quality, and adherence to Vancouver referencing with statements tied directly to citations. Sections 5–8 demand synthesis of contemporary evidence while clearly delineating high-quality versus insufficient evidence, with original treatment algorithms and mechanism tables appropriate for peer review. Deliverable scope includes sections on hyperosmotic therapy, corticosteroids, NSAIDs, ROCK inhibitors (netarsudil, ripasudil), IOP optimization with carbonic anhydrase physiology, ocular surface management, emerging therapies, limitations of medical intervention, and viral endotheliitis. Each section integrates mechanism, clinical evidence, and outcome data formatted for submission to Ophthalmology, Cornea, or JAMA Ophthalmology. Timeline and revision structure available upon confirmation.

The scope here is serious -- sections 5 through 8 covering hyperosmotic therapy, ROCK inhibitors, IOP management and viral endotheliitis, all at journal-publication quality with Vancouver citations. That's weeks of focused literature review and critical appraisal, not a weekend content job. I'll be direct: my background is 10+ years in software engineering and technical writing, not clinical ophthalmology. The closest fit from my work is research-driven long-form documentation where I pull from primary sources, structure evidence hierarchies and write for technical audiences. But corneal endothelial physiology and keratoplasty outcomes aren't part of my daily work. If you need someone with clinical publishing credits in ophthalmology journals, better to filter now. What I can bring is strong research methodology, clean writing that follows journal structure and tone, and the discipline to distinguish RCT-level evidence from expert opinion or theoretical rationale. I'm used to working through dense technical material and producing well-cited structured prose. If that's useful to you as a research co-writer or writing assistant alongside your clinical expertise, I'd want to talk scope and see if there's a fit. Otherwise no hard feelings -- you know your needs better than I do.
