Corneal nerves in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2019
The cornea is the most sensitive structure in the human body. Corneal nerves adapt to maintain transparency and contribute to corneal health by mediating tear secretion and protective reflexes and provide trophic support to epithelial and stromal cells ...

Corneal Opacity in LCAT Disease [PDF]

open access: greenCornea, 1992
Deficiency of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, LCAT disease, is one of the dyslipoproteinemias with characteristic lipid deposits in the cornea. The present report documents the clinicopathologic abnormalities of one case in which a full-thickness corneal specimen was obtained at the time of corneal transplantation.

Parachlamydia acanthamoebae in domestic cats with and without corneal disease [PDF]

open access: greenVeterinary Ophthalmology, 2010
Corneal samples of cats with and without corneal diseases were screened with a pan-Chlamydiales PCR and specific PCRs for Parachlamydia, Protochlamydia, Chlamydophila felis, Acanthamoeba and feline herpesviruses (FHV-1).

Corneal nerves in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yesSurvey of Ophthalmology, 2014
Corneal nerves are responsible for the sensations of touch, pain, and temperature and play an important role in the blink reflex, wound healing, and tear production and secretion. Corneal nerve dysfunction is a frequent feature of diseases that cause opacities and result in corneal blindness.

Corneal Cross-Linking: The Evolution of Treatment for Corneal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) using riboflavin and ultraviolet A (UVA) light has become a useful treatment option for not only corneal ectasias, such as keratoconus, but also a number of other corneal diseases. Riboflavin is a photoactivated chromophore that plays an integral role in facilitating collagen crosslinking.

Exploiting the Generative Adversarial Network Approach to Create a Synthetic Topography Corneal Image [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022, 2022
Corneal diseases are the most common eye disorders. Deep learning techniques are used to per-form automated diagnoses of cornea. Deep learning networks require large-scale annotated datasets, which is conceded as a weakness of deep learning. In this work, a method for synthesizing medical images using conditional generative adversarial networks (CGANs),

Corneal retardation time as an ocular hypertension disease indicator [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 2023, 2023
Objective. A detailed analysis of the corneal retardation time $\tau$ as a highly related parameter to the intraocular pressure (IOP), and its plausible role as an indicator of ocular hypertension disease. Approach. A simple theoretical expression for $\tau$ is derived within the corneal viscoelastic model of Kelvin-Voigt with 3 elements.
