Pigmentary keratitis and mixed chromatophoroma in a betta fish (Betta splendens)
Graphical Abstract This clinical case report describes a <1 year old betta fish that developed pigmentary keratitis, anterior uveitis, and a mixed chromatophoroma that led to the patient's death. A review of available anecdotal and scientific literature suggests that there may have been a genetic cause for these health problems.

Non-invasive detection of nanoscale structural changes in cornea associated with cross-linking treatment [PDF]
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) using UVA irradiation with a riboflavin photosensitizer has grown from an interesting concept to a practical clinical treatment for corneal ectatic diseases globally, such as keratoconus. To characterize the corneal structural changes, existing methods such as X-ray microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM ...

Role of corneal nerves in ocular surface homeostasis and disease
Corneal nerves are key components of the physiological system that controls ocular surface homeostasis. The cornea is primarily innervated by the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerves (cranial nerve V), which distend bilaterally from the pons.

Database of iris images acquired in the presence of ocular pathologies and assessment of iris recognition reliability for disease-affected eyes [PDF]
This paper presents a database of iris images collected from disease affected eyes and an analysis related to the influence of ocular diseases on iris recognition reliability. For that purpose we have collected a database of iris images acquired for 91 different eyes during routine ophthalmology visits.

Herpes simplex keratitis: Challenges in diagnosis and clinical management [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus is responsible for numerous ocular diseases, the most common of which is herpetic stromal keratitis. This is a recurrent infection of the cornea that typically begins with a subclinical infection of the cornea that establishes a ...
