Congenital aniridia: European COST action ANIRIDIA‐NET guidelines for diagnosis, management and care
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare ocular disorder affecting the majority of eye structures and can be associated with systemic manifestations. The main visible phenotypic characteristic is the partial or complete absence of the iris; however, foveal hypoplasia is a more frequent and reliable clinical sign. Other ocular comorbidities are associated

Analysis of best corrected visual acuity following corneal refractive surgery comparing low and standard predicted postoperative keratometry [PDF]
BACKGROUND: It is a commonly held view in the ophthalmologic community that eyes with sufficiently low calculated postoperative corneal keratometry, less than 35 diopters, should not undergo corrective refractive laser surgery (CRLS) due to the increased

Graded potential of neural crest to form cornea, sensory neurons and cartilage along the rostrocaudal axis [PDF]
Neural crest cells arising from different rostrocaudal axial levels form different sets of derivatives as diverse as ganglia, cartilage and cornea. These variations may be due to intrinsic properties of the cell populations, different environmental ...

Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

Sleep deprivation induces corneal endothelial dysfunction by downregulating Bmal1
Background Sleep deprivation (SD) is a common public health problem that contributes to various physiological disorders and increases the risk of ocular diseases. However, whether sleep loss can damage corneal endothelial function remains unclear.

Regulation of Oxidative Stress in Corneal Endothelial Cells by Prdx6
The inner layer of the cornea, the corneal endothelium, is post-mitotic and unable to regenerate if damaged. The corneal endothelium is one of the most transplanted tissues in the body.

Effects of atracurium besylate on corneal endothelium of chickens: in vitro study
: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of atracurium besylate on cellular damage in corneal endothelium of chickens. Twenty healthy chicken eyes were assigned to the following groups: Group 1 (G1), experimental group (n=10); and ...
