Metalloproteinases in Corneal Diseases
Cornea, 2012Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases with the potential to degrade all types of extracellular matrix. The ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family of peptidases was recently identified as cleaving the extracellular domain of transmembrane proteins. This was termed ectodomain shedding.

Iatrogenic corneal diseases or conditions
Experimental Eye Research, 2021Any prescribed or self-administered therapy carries inherent risks of secondary adverse events. While the volume of treatments being administered through healthcare systems has been increasing, scientific advancements in our understanding of the mechanisms of pharmaceutical side effects and complications from procedures now allow us to reduce the risk ...

Imaging of Pediatric Corneal Diseases
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2012Ocular imaging technologies continue to evolve and play increasingly important roles in both the diagnosis and management of corneal pathology. In addition to improved documentation of exam findings using increasingly better resolution photographs, newer modalities, including specular and confocal microscopy, can facilitate diagnosis by imaging single ...

Corneal and External Diseases of the Eye
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1982Corneal and external diseases of the eye are often encountered by the family physician. Specific aspects of history taking and the physical examination that aid in the differential diagnosis of “red eye” are highlighted.

Corneal opacities in gaucher disease
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1998To describe the corneal findings in a variant of Gaucher disease.Case report. In an 18-year-old man, ophthalmic and general clinical evaluation, and enzymatic and molecular genetics studies were performed.Diffuse, well-defined, small, linear, or dotlike corneal opacities were observed through, out the posterior two thirds of the corneal stroma in both ...

Corneal Surface Disease Topology
International Ophthalmology Clinics, 1998The specific morphology and distribution of corneal surface lesions may point toward a specific diagnosis and pathogenesis in individual cases (see Fig 1). Staining lesions may be fine (e.g., staphylococcal) or punctate (e.g., keratitis sicca). The size and appearance of staining and nonstaining lesions of the epithelium and subepithelial cornea may be

Phototherapeutic Keratectomy in Corneal Diseases
Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1993ABSTRACT We present our clinical strategy to treat corneal diseases with the excimer laser. Nine eyes with recurrent erosion after trauma, three eyes with band keratopathy, and one eye with secondary crystalline deposits and a leukoma adherens after perforating injury underwent excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK).

Herpetic Corneal Epithelial Disease
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1976The clinical differentiation of corneal epithelial lesions due to herpes simplex or herpes zoster may be confusing. Practical clinical tests, including the use of topical ocular stains, are useful to differentiate corneal epithelial lesions caused by these two viruses.

[The progress of corneal crosslink in corneal disease].
[Zhonghua yan ke za zhi] Chinese journal of ophthalmology, 2011Corneal crosslink through UVA-riboflavin photochemistry has been shown to be an effective treatment for keratoconus, related keratectasias and infectious melting keratitis that did not respond to systemic therapy. It is a new approach to increase the mechanical and biochemical stability of the stromal tissue.
