A discrete-to-continuum model for the human cornea with application to keratoconus [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We introduce a discrete mathematical model for the mechanical behaviour of a planar slice of human corneal tissue, in equilibrium under the action of physiological intraocular pressure (IOP). The model considers a regular (two-dimensional) network of structural elements mimicking a discrete number of parallel collagen lamellae connected by proteoglycan-

A review of the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy in glaucoma associated with rare diseases of the anterior segment [PDF]
, 2016 Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique, which allows high-resolution evaluation of the anatomical features of the anterior segment of the eye regardless of optical media transparency.

BioFactors, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1226-1249, November/December 2022., 2022 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 ...

Keratoconus Classifier for Smartphone-based Corneal Topographer [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Keratoconus is a severe eye disease that leads to deformation of the cornea. It impacts people aged 10-25 years and is the leading cause of blindness in that demography. Corneal topography is the gold standard for keratoconus diagnosis. It is a non-invasive process performed using expensive and bulky medical devices called corneal topographers.

Non-contact acoustic micro-tapping optical coherence elastography for quantification of corneal anisotropic elasticity: in vivo rabbit study [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose. To demonstrate accurate measurement of corneal elastic moduli in vivo with non-contact and non-invasive optical coherence elastography. Methods. Elastic properties (in-plane Young's modulus E and both in-plane, u, and out-of-plane, G, shear moduli) of rabbit cornea were quantified in vivo using non-contact dynamic Acoustic micro-Tapping ...

An update and review of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for vitiligo
Dermatological Reviews, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 326-335, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition that results in depigmentation. It affects up to 2% of the population worldwide. Phototherapy is one of the most commonly used treatment methods for vitiligo. In the last few decades, there has been an increasing popularity of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy (NB‐UVB) over other forms of phototherapy ...

Use of topical tacrolimus in ophthalmology: Nonsystematic review
The Pan-American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 The two immunosuppressants most used topically in ophthalmology are cyclosporine (CS) and tacrolimus (TL). Their mechanism of action is similar, but the TL is ten to a hundred times more powerful than the CS.
