Photodocumentation of Corneal Scarring

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1996
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: A standardized system for photodocumenting corneal scars and for evaluating these photographs does not exist and is essential for clinical research. To address this need, we developed a system for photographing and evaluating corneal scars.

Mouse Models of Corneal Scarring

2017
Corneal scarring is an obligatory consequence of stroma corneal injury and is a major cause of decreased visual quality and vision loss worldwide. There are currently no satisfactory intervention therapies for corneal fibrosis. In this chapter, we describe well-established in vivo corneal wound models to allow researchers to investigate epithelial and ...

Penetrating Keratoplasty for Trachomatous Corneal Scarring

Cornea, 2008
To evaluate graft survival and visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for trachomatous corneal scarring.A retrospective review was conducted on all cases of PKP performed at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2001, for trachomatous corneal scarring.This study included 127 eyes. The mean age at the

Familial Corneal Scarring: A New Dystrophy?

Ophthalmology, 1984
A 34-year-old white man with skin manifestations of the epidermal nevus syndrome was found to have anesthetic corneas, dry eyes, and localized opaque nodular elevations of both corneas. Similar corneal lesions, unassociated with corneal anesthesia, were found in four family members.

Hyperosmolar Potassium Inhibits Corneal Myofibroblast Transformation and Prevent Corneal Scar

Current Eye Research, 2022
Corneal myofibroblasts play a crucial role in the process of corneal scarring. Potassium has been documented to reduce skin scar tissue formation. Herein, we investigated the ability of potassium to prevent corneal fibrosis in cell culture and in vivo.Corneal fibroblasts (CFs) were isolated from the corneal limbus and treated with TGF-β1 to transform ...

Deep Corneal Scarring in Pellucid Marginal Corneal Degeneration

Cornea, 1992
Crescent-shaped, deep corneal scars were observed in seven (39%) of 18 patients with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration. The scars most likely represent a degenerative change related to the precipitous alteration in curvature of the cornea in that area.

The long term effects of unilateral corneal scars

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1999
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term effects of unilateral dense central corneal scars on the axial length and development of lens opacities. We included 12 patients with unilateral dense central corneal scars of early onset before the age of seven years.

Collagen cross-linking in corneal scar formation

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1975
Abstract The collagen of rabbit corneal scar tissue contains a pattern of reducible radioactive cross-links marked by a high content of glycosylated dihydroxylysinonorleucine. The presence of the glycosylated aldimine cross-link may reflect differences in the distribution of carbohydrate in scar collagen.

Establishment of in vitro model of corneal scar pathophysiology

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2017
Corneal scarring is the major source of permanent blindness worldwide. The complex pathophysiology of corneal scarring is not comprehensibly understood as it involves the interaction of a constellation of pro‐fibrotic cytokines influencing several signaling pathways involved in corneal scar development. In the present study, an attempt has been made to
