Scleral thickness reductions in patients with keratoconus suggest that the disorder's pathogenesis is not limited to the cornea.

The ulcer area was measured via slit lamp imaging, the corneal and corneal epithelial thickness, and ulcer depth was measured via anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). The existence ...

Sub-basal nerve fibre density declined by 0.9% per year (r = −0.423, p<0.001). No association was observed between age and basal epithelial cell density, or between age and central corneal thickness, ...

Eyes with lower values of recipient residue thickness are associated with better visual acuity. We adopted an original manual technique in which a deep corneal incision obtained with a calibrated ...

Orthokeratology treatment alters corneal biomechanical properties, and this may predict early myopia control treatment outcomes.

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 ...

Organ transplantation is a medical marvel that saves lives and offers renewed hope to patients suffering from chronic ...

The most important questions in determining the management options of injuries involving the cornea are: Is there partial- or full-thickness corneal wound? Is the corneal laceration/discontinuity ...
