Having both aqueous-deficient and evaporative dry eye, corneal pain, or a history of dry eye treatment can worsen quality of life.

Corneal diseases can cause severe visual impairment and even blindness, which have been linked to the interruption of corneal epithelial homeostasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are ...

Additionally, the positive coronal staining rate and BUT were not suitable for publication bias assessment as they only included two studies. The GRADE evidence quality evaluation showed that the ...

Int Ophthalmol Clin. 2013;53(4):1-10. Delayed presentation of corneal trauma or severe injuries may result in corneal perforation and loss of corneal tissue. These injuries are more difficult to ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. For patients with severe corneal injuries, blindness has often been seen as a life ...

THE control of corneal thickness is a complex process involving the chemistry of the stromal tissue and the barrier properties of the two bounding membranes. Fluid dynamics are intimately involved ...

Results: Lipi-Green staining and MDA measurement showed that lipid deposition and peroxidation were increased in the CNV cornea while the expression of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase 1 (ACSL1), ...

If a slit lamp isn’t available, then an attempt can be made to visualise ocular surface staining using fluorescein and a cobalt blue light with a direct ophthalmoscope or pen torch (see photo). A ...

We developed a mathematical model for the stochastic spatial dynamics that underlie the rejuvenation of corneal epithelium. Our model takes into account different spatial correlations between cell ...

At its most fundamental level, touch sensation requires the translation of mechanical energy into mechanosensitive ion channel opening, thereby generating electro-chemical signals. Our understanding ...
