Corneal Epithelial Thickness in Sjogren’s Disease: A Pilot Study

Clinical Ophthalmology
This study was to assess corneal epithelial thickness (CET) in patients with Sjogren's disease (SjD).A retrospective chart review was conducted of SjD patients from September 2021 to January 2022. Patient demographics, unanesthetized Schirmer's test, serologic markers, and symptoms as measured by the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) were reviewed ...

Relationship of Central Corneal Thickness and Central Corneal Epithelial Thickness with Anthropoemetric and Biochemical Data in Individuals with Impaired Glucose Metabolism                       

, 2023
Abstract Background Measure central corneal thickness (CCT) and central corneal epithelial thickness (CCET) with anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism and to analyze, the effect of impaired glucose metabolism on the cornea. Methods 140 eyes of 70 participants, including 20 healthy

Assessing a Model for a Complex Systemic Disorder—The Value of Male Mice With a Supernumerary X Chromosome for Klinefelter Syndrome Research

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Direct experimental investigation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in patients is limited because the syndrome manifests heterogeneously and affects multiple organ systems. Studying KS therefore requires a model that captures this complexity as accurately as possible while still permitting controlled experimental manipulation ...

Effects of long-term soft contact lens wear on the corneal thickness and corneal epithelial thickness of myopic subjects

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2014
To perform safe and successful corneal refractive surgery on myopic patients, corneal thickness (CT) and corneal epithelial thickness (CET) must be accurately measured. Numerous individuals with myopia wear soft contact lenses (SCLs) for the correction of visual acuity but may subsequently undergo corneal refractive surgery.

Changes in choroidal and retinal thickness 6 months before and during 18 months of orthokeratology lens treatment in myopic children

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate changes in choroidal and retinal thickness before and during myopia control treatment with orthokeratology lenses (OKL) in myopic children. Methods This was a sub‐study of CONTROL and CONTROL2 studies. The present study was a 2‐year, prospective, single‐group interventional study consisting of a 6‐month pre‐treatment ...

Interpreting the structure–function relationship in high myopia‐associated glaucoma: A review

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual field (VF) interpretation in high myopia‐associated glaucoma (HMG) is challenging due to frequent structure–function discordance and coexisting myopia‐related changes. These changes may reduce the reliability of conventional structure–function mapping and increase the risk of misclassifying non‐glaucomatous VF abnormalities as ...

Genetic risk factors in Finnish patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study the genetic risk factors of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in the Finnish population using hospital‐based and large biobank cohorts. Methods We genotyped a cohort of 107 Finnish patients with FECD for the primary associated genetic risk factor, the TCF4 (CTG)>50 expansion, and studied their clinical phenotype.

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.
