Normal human corneal epithelium

, 1982
A new contact wide-field specular microscope was used to examine and photograph the normal in vivo appearance of human superficial corneal epithelium. The cells were polygonal in structure and were divisible into bright and dark groups on the basis of ...

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 ...

Management of delayed corneal epithelial healing after refractive surgery: five case reports

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundTransepithelial photorefractive keratectomy using Smart Pulse Technology (SPT-TransPRK) is currently the leading method for superficial refractive surgery, offering advantages such as a non-contact procedure, shorter operation times, and ...

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 ...

Infectious bacterial keratitis management in a Swedish region: Risk factors, treatment and time‐to‐resolution

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To report treatment patterns, time‐to‐resolution (TTR) and aetiologies of bacterial keratitis (BK) infections treated in a specialized hospital‐based cornea clinic in Sweden. Methods Retrospective study based on electronic health records screened during the period 2010–2019. The study included only culture‐confirmed cases of BK.

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.

Dystrophia Smolandiensis is characterized by a novel NQO1 variant and a distinct phenotype from COL17A1‐associated epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the molecular cause of the two epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophies, Dystrophia Smolandiensis and Dystrophia Helsinglandica, and to identify phenotypic differences between the two conditions. Methods DNA samples and clinical data from structured interview records were obtained from the Swedish families in which ...
