Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common indication for corneal transplantation in the United States. Recently, descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty (DWEK) or Descemet’s stripping only (DSO) has become an attractive ...

Topology-based deep-learning segmentation method for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) surgical guidance using M-mode OCT data [PDF]
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) is a partial-thickness corneal transplant procedure used to treat corneal stromal diseases. A crucial step in this procedure is the precise separation of the deep stroma from Descemet's membrane (DM) using the Big Bubble technique.

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Intensive Care Nurses Regarding Eye Care
ABSTRACT Introduction Care for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) must support all body systems. However, ICU nurses often focus on life‐threatening conditions, giving less attention to other critical areas such as eye care. Objective This study aims to determine ICU nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding eye care.

Immunomodulation of salivary gland function due to cancer therapy
Abstract Functional salivary glands (SG) are essential for maintaining oral health, and salivary dysfunction is a persistent major clinical challenge. Several cancer therapies also have off‐target effects leading to SG dysfunction. Recent advances highlight the role of SG immune populations in homeostasis, dysfunction and gland regeneration.

Reimagining partial thickness keratoplasty: An eye mountable robot for autonomous big bubble needle insertion [PDF]
Autonomous surgical robots have demonstrated significant potential to standardize surgical outcomes, driving innovations that enhance safety and consistency regardless of individual surgeon experience. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), a partial thickness corneal transplant surgery aimed at replacing the anterior part of cornea above Descemet

Digital interferometric demodulation of Placido mires applied to corneal topography [PDF]
This paper presents a novel digital interferometric method to demodulate Placido fringe patterns. This is a synchronous method which uses a computer-stored conic-wavefront as demodulating reference. Here we focus on the experimental aspects to phase-demodulate Placido mires applied to corneal topography.
