Corneal epithelial thickness profile in dry-eye disease [PDF]
To characterize and evaluate the use of corneal epithelial profile maps generated by an ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) in the diagnosis and management of dry-eye disease (DED).This prospective, interventional case-control study included 115 eyes of 71 subjects (52 DED and 19 controls) imaged using an UHR-OCT.

Age-Related Changes in Corneal Epithelial Thickness Measured with an Ultrasound Pachymeter. [PDF]
There is increasing research on the aging process of the cornea and its effect on the corneal parameters measured objectively. Nevertheless, the association of corneal epithelial thickness (CET) with age has yet to be fully illustrated.We aimed to measure CET in healthy subjects to determine its age-related variation by using an ultrasound device.A ...

Effect of Age and Gender on Corneal Epithelial Thickness in Refractive Surgery Candidates. [PDF]
To investigate the effect of age and gender on corneal epithelial thickness in healthy refractive surgery candidates.A retrospective, single-centered cross-sectional study in which we used the Anterior Segment (AS-OCT), MS39 -a device well-suited for corneal epithelial assessment, to measure the corneal epithelial thickness (CET) at five anatomical ...

The Association of Central Corneal Thickness and Central Corneal Epithelial Thickness with Anthropometric and Biochemical Parameters in Subjects with Impaired Glucose Metabolism. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Impaired glucose metabolism may alter the corneal structure before overt diabetes develops. This study aimed to assess central corneal thickness (CCT) and central corneal epithelial thickness (CCET) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism and to examine their ...

Effects of Aberrant Pax6 Gene Dosage on Mouse Corneal Pathophysiology and Corneal Epithelial Homeostasis [PDF]
Background: Altered dosage of the transcription factor PAX6 causes multiple human eye pathophysiologies. PAX6(+/-) heterozygotes suffer from aniridia and aniridia-related keratopathy (ARK), a corneal deterioration that probably involves a limbal ...
