Central and peripheral corneal thickness changes during contact lens wear [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
A project is descibed in which changes in various corneal parameters during contact lens wear were measured while variables effecting these changes wre either controlled or their effect observed.

Topical rosiglitazone is an effective anti-scarring agent in the cornea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Corneal scarring remains a major cause of blindness world-wide, with limited treatment options, all of which have side-effects. Here, we tested the hypothesis that topical application of Rosiglitazone, a Thiazolidinedione and ligand of peroxisome ...

3D‐Printed Corneal Substitutes: Materials, Fabrication, and Preclinical Progress

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Successful clinical translation of 3D‐printed corneal substitutes relies on the interplay between the bioink properties, cellular component, and the fabrication process. These factors influence the critical properties of the construct, including optical transparency, mechanical stability, suture retention, that ultimately govern long‐term stromal ...

Effect of Hypoxia on Central and Peripheral Corneal Thickness and Corneal Topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
Epithelial anoxia causes increases in both central and peripheral corneal thickness. The thickness increase is eliminated when the cornea is exposed to 2% oxygen.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Scaling and maintenance of corneal thickness during aging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Corneal thickness is tightly regulated by its boundary endothelial and epithelial layers. The regulated set-point of corneal thickness likely shows inter-individual variations, changes by age, and response to stress.

Hydrophilic lens effects on central and peripheral corneal thickness and corneal topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
Hydrophilic lens wearing causes an almost evenly distributed central and peripheral corneal thickness increase which is virtually eliminated when gas of 100% oxygen tension is passed over the anterior corneal surface.

3D Printing of Soft Robotic Systems: Advances in Fabrication Strategies and Future Trends

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Collectively, this review systematically examines 3D‐printed soft robotics, encompassing material selections, function integration, and manufacturing methodologies. Meanwhile, fabrication strategies are analyzed in order of increasing complexity, highlighting persistent challenges with proposed solutions.

Central corneal thickness in Japanese children

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Ophthalmology, 2009
To determine the central corneal thickness (CCT) in Japanese children and to investigate the changes in CCT with increasing age.Pachymetry was performed on 338 eyes of 169 patients undergoing eye muscle surgery under general anesthesia, and the intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured on 312 eyes of 156 of those same patients.

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
