Epithelial thickness patterns can not identify subclinical keratoconus, although they exhibit predictable patterns in manifest keratoconus.
Epi-on corneal crosslinking is advancing through innovations like supplemental oxygen, chemical oxygenation, and ...
Laser ablation of the corneal epithelium, Bowman’s membrane, and the stroma can effectively correct refractive errors. Thus, the complete healing of the corneal epithelium post-surgery is essential ...
Also, it was shown recently that in the rabbit cornea the epithelium is the source of an active sodium transport system, and the endothelium shows only a passive behaviour in relation to the ...
The first in-human trials for an artificial lamellar implant demonstrates the device’s potential to treat corneal edema.
Stem cell therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment option for corneal injuries, offering hope to individuals ...
The cornea is the clear dome that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus light to enable you to see clearly. On the outer edge of the cornea are stem cells, called limbal epithelial cells, ...
The study evaluated 14 patients that were treated with cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) and followed ...
limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), which prevents the renewal of the corneal epithelium, eventually leading to incurable corneal damage; and corneal neovascularization, a process in which blood ...
