Chromatin remodeling enzyme Brg1 is required for mouse lens fiber cell terminal differentiation and its denucleation [PDF]
Background: Brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1, also known as Smarca4 and Snf2 beta) encodes an adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)-dependent catalytical subunit of the (switch/sucrose nonfermentable) (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes.

Validation of the Greek version of the contact lens dry eye questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8)
Purpose: Contact lens discomfort (CLD) has been cited as one of the prime reasons for discontinuing contact lens wear. The CLDEQ-8 was created in 2008 to reflect status of and change in overall opinion of soft contact lenses. The purpose of this study is

Role of 25 MHz Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in the Detection of Subluxated Lenses
Background. The purpose of this observational case series study was to investigate the role of 25 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in detecting subluxated lenses and compare it with 50 MHz UBM. Methods.

Molecular insights into the eye evolution of bivalvian molluscs [PDF]
The intention of my PhD project was to gain more insights into eye evolution and to provide further evidence for the recently proposed idea that all eye-types found in eumetazoans derive from a common Pax6-dependent proto-type eye (Gehring and Ikeo, 1999)

BCLA CLEAR - Contact lens complications [PDF]
Contact lens-related complications are common, affecting around one third of wearers, although most are mild and easily managed. Contact lenses have well-defined anatomical and physiological effects on the ocular surface and can result in other ...

The effectiveness of early lens extraction with intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (EAGLE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Although primary open-angle glaucoma is more common, primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is more likely to result in irreversible blindness.

Design and Simulation of Compound Eye Lens for Visible Light Communication and Illumination
We proposed a scheme for designing an optical launch system that can make the light intensity more uniform on the receiving plane via a compound eye lens combined with a sunflower plano-convex lens.
