ABSTRACT Background To investigate the predictive value of aqueous humour cytokines for axial elongation. Methods This was a prospective longitudinal observational study. 72 high myopia patients (72 eyes) who received implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation surgery with at least 2 years of follow‐up were included.

Preliminary study on electrophysiological changes after cellular autograft in age-related macular degeneration [PDF]
Background: Evolving atrophic macular degeneration represents at least 80% of all macular degenerations and is currently without a standardized care. Autologous fat transplantation (AFT) efficacy was demonstrated by several studies, since these cells are

Periodontal Disease and Salivary Gland Dysfunction in Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presents with diverse systemic and oral manifestations. The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal status and salivary alterations in NF1 individuals. Methods A total of 38 individuals with NF1 diagnostic criteria were compared with a control group paired by age and sex.

Techniques for subretinal injections in animals
Abstract Subretinal injections are not commonly performed during clinical treatment of animals but are frequently used in laboratory animal models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of gene and cell therapy products. Veterinary ophthalmologists are often employed to perform the injections in the laboratory animal setting, due to knowledge of ...

The Relationship of the Clinical Disc Margin and Bruch's Membrane Opening in Normal and Glaucoma Subjects. [PDF]
PurposeWe tested the hypotheses that the mismatch between the clinical disc margin (CDM) and Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) is a function of BMO area (BMOA) and is affected by the presence of glaucoma.MethodsA total of 45 normal eyes (45 subjects) and 53
