Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

An observational study to determine the optimal physical evaluation site for detecting anemia. [PDF]
Typically, for detecting anemia, primary care physicians subjectively judge whether or not a patient is pale by looking at the color of the conjunctiva, lips, nails, and palms. In this study, we have identified which part of the body is most suitable for assessing paleness.

Laser Doppler holography of the anterior segment for blood flow imaging, eye tracking, and transparency assessment [PDF]
Laser Doppler holography (LDH) is a full-field blood flow imaging technique able to reveal human retinal and choroidal blood flow with high temporal resolution. We here report on using LDH in the anterior segment of the eye without making changes to the instrument.

Abstract We assessed the long‐term outcomes and treatment‐related adverse effects of patients with Stage I, “orbital‐type” lymphomas that were uniformly treated with photons. All consecutive patients diagnosed with low‐grade, Ann Arbor Stage IEA orbital lymphoma treated between 1999 and 2020 at our department were retrospectively reviewed.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma arising from palpebral conjunctiva: A rare presentation
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the conjunctiva usually arises from the limbal conjunctiva. Rarely, it can arise from the palpebral conjunctiva. We report a case of primary conjunctival SCC of the palpebral conjunctiva which was treated successfully.
