Corneal epithelial thickness profile in dry-eye disease [PDF]
Eye, 2019 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.

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2017 Background Limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) play important roles in corneal epithelial homeostasis and regeneration, and damage to the limbus will lead to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), with conjunctivalization and even visual impairment ...

Corneal thickness, epithelial thickness and axial length differences in normal and high myopia [PDF]
BMC Ophthalmology, 2015 Corneal biometric parameters can possibly be influenced by high myopia (HM). The influence of HM on corneal thickness (CT), epithelial thickness (ET) has not yet been clearly established. The aim of this study is to observe ET, CT and axial length (AL) differences between in normal and subjects with HMs and to investigate factors influencing the ...

Corneal epithelial proliferation and thickness in a mouse model of dry eye [PDF]
Experimental Eye Research, 2009 Although several studies have previously focused on the conjunctival epithelial response to surface dryness, little is known about the effect of a dry environment on corneal epithelium, which is the most clinically significant tissue affected in dry eye. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of desiccating stress on the number

Genetic Evidence for Differential Regulation of Corneal Epithelial and Stromal Thickness [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2015 Central corneal thickness (CCT) is a quantitative trait associated with keratoconus and primary open-angle glaucoma. Although CCT is highly heritable, known genetic variations explain only a fraction of the phenotypic variability. The purpose of this study was to identify additional CCT-influencing loci using inbred strains of mice.Cohorts of 82 ...
