Corneal cross‐linking as a treatment for corneal dystrophy with secondary bacterial infection in a Friesian horse [PDF]
Corneal cross‐linking should be considered as treatment option in Friesian horses with infectious keratitis and corneal dystrophy. Optical coherence tomography, giving information of corneal structure, can help for diagnosis and monitoring.

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 ...

Early diagnosis of keratoconus using corneal biomechanics and OCT derived technologies [PDF]
Background Early detection of keratoconus is essential for maximizing the potential of cross-linking treatments designed to halt keratoconus progression, minimizing the risks of iatrogenic ectasia as well as reducing the need for corneal transplantation.

Cessation of contact lenses prior to corneal tomography for keratoconus monitoring: results from a clinician survey. [PDF]
Corneal tomography is essential in diagnosing and monitoring corneal ectasias, including keratoconus. Monitoring may be necessary to determine whether the disease is progressing and if corneal cross-linking is indicated, or to track progression following

Topical rosiglitazone is an effective anti-scarring agent in the cornea [PDF]
Corneal scarring remains a major cause of blindness world-wide, with limited treatment options, all of which have side-effects. Here, we tested the hypothesis that topical application of Rosiglitazone, a Thiazolidinedione and ligand of peroxisome ...
