The relationship between CPAP usage and corneal thickness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between CPAP usage and corneal thickness in patients with sleep disordered breathing. Full-night polysomnography (PSG) recordings were collected.

Numerical model of optical coherence tomographic vibrography imaging to estimate corneal biomechanical properties [PDF]

, 2015
Most techniques measuring corneal biomechanics in vivo are biased by side factors. We demonstrate the ability of optical coherence tomographic (OCT) vibrography to determine corneal material parameters, while reducing current prevalent restrictions of ...

Corneal pachymetry by AS-OCT after Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty

Scientific Reports, 2021
Corneal thickness (pachymetry) maps can be used to monitor restoration of corneal endothelial function, for example after Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Corneal Epithelial Thickness Mapping: A Major Review

Journal of Ophthalmology
The corneal epithelium (CE) is the outermost layer of the cornea with constant turnover, relative stability, remarkable plasticity, and compensatory properties to mask alterations in the underlying stroma.

Limbal stem cell transplantation: clinical results, limits, and perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a clinical condition characterized by damage of cornea limbal stem cells, which results in an impairment of corneal epithelium turnover and in an invasion of the cornea by the conjunctival epithelium.
