corneal transplant surgeries are now increasingly effective at restoring vision in patients with corneal diseases. In the last 15 years, the introduction of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) procedures, ...

One significant area of concern is the corneal endothelium, which plays a crucial role in maintaining corneal transparency and overall eye health. Recent research has focused on understanding how ...

Studies have shown that mutations in SLC4A11 can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress in corneal endothelial cells, contributing to the pathology of CHED. For instance ...

Researchers included adult cohorts with keratoplasty, a later glaucoma procedure, and at least 6 months of follow-up. Corneal surgery involved penetrating keratoplasty (PK) or Descemet stripping ...

RESULTS In normal corneas CD44 was predominantly expressed on the membranes of basal epithelial cells and on the keratocytes, as well as on the vascular endothelial cells of the corneal limbi, but was ...

In this study, the ulcer depth was quantitatively measured by AS-OCT, and it was found that the average ulcer depth in the CXL-M group was 91 μm before intervention, while no abnormality of the ...

The cornea protects the inner content of the eye, and the refractive capability of the lens is based on the precise shape of this region (Teng et al., 2006). This region can be subdivided into various ...

The mechanism of the inherited retinal dystrophies. Age-dependent corneal endothelial dystrophy. Council Member, The Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine Membership Committee Member, The ...

A corneal abrasion is a scratch on your eye. It can happen in an instant — such as when you poke your eye or something (like dirt or sand) gets trapped under your eyelid. Your eye hurts ...

This delicate procedure requires technical skill for the preparation of AM with attached corneal epithelial cells and surgical dexterity to manipulate the AM onto the ocular surface. As previously ...

The mechanisms of pathology are not fully known but are thought to be related to the ability of infected erythrocytes (IE) to bind to vascular endothelium and to the inflammation seen both ...
