Late onset bilateral annular subepithelial corneal haze after LASIK [PDF]
Purpose: Corneal haze is uncommon after laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Post-LASIK haze and scarring can develop due to different conditions such as infectious keratitis, LASIK flap complications, diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK), corneal ...

Amniotic Membrane in Excimer Laser Surface Ablation (ELSA): Mechanisms for Haze Prevention and Broader Ocular Surface Optimisation [PDF]
Subepithelial corneal haze remains a clinical risk after excimer laser-based surface ablation (ELSA), especially with deep ablations, high myopia or retreatments, with downstream effects on vision and quality of life.

Abstract Systematic reviews (SRs) and meta‐analyses (MAs) are of great importance for basing clinical decisions. However, misleading interpretations may result when informed decisions rest on biased review papers with methodological issues. To evaluate which treatment is optimal, an overview was made of SRs and MAs to establish the quality and ...

Abstract Innervation sustains cornea integrity. Pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF) plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) regenerated damaged nerves by stimulating the synthesis of a new stereoisomer of Resolvin D6 (RvD6si). Here, we resolved the structure of this lipid isolated from mouse tears after injured corneas were treated with PEDF + DHA. RvD6si

Corneal Epithelial Removal with a Newly Designed Epithelial Brush
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a newly developed epithelial removal brush with conventional methods in a rabbit model of corneal epithelial defects. The corneal epithelia of thirty‐seven rabbits were removed by three different methods including blades (blade group), newly developed epithelial brushes (Ocu group), and ...
