Increased sensitivity of primary aniridia limbal stromal cells to travoprost, leading to elevated migration and MMP-9 protein levels, in vitro. [PDF]
Purpose In congenital aniridia, not only limbal epithelial cells but also limbal stromal cells may contribute to the development of aniridia associated keratopathy (AAK).

Scleral fixation of brown diaphragm intraocular lens in cases of posttraumatic aniridia with aphakia
Traumatic aniridia is a devastating complication of penetrating ocular injuries. Aniridia associated with aphakia can be treated with standard intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with or without scleral fixation; however, the problem of photophobia and ...

mRNA Sequencing of Limbal Epithelial Cells and mRNA/miRNA Profiling of Limbal Stromal Cells in PAX6-Related Congenital Aniridia [PDF]
The dysfunction of limbal epithelial cells (LECs) and limbal stromal cells (LSCs) in congenital aniridia remains incompletely understood. We aimed to analyze mRNA expression profiles of primary human LECs and LSCs, as well as microRNA (miRNA) expression ...
