Quantitative comparison of corneal surface areas in keratoconus and normal eyes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Keratoconus is a highly prevalent corneal disorder characterized by progressive corneal thinning, steepening and irregular astigmatism. To date, pathophysiology of keratoconus development and progression remains debated. In this study, we retrospectively

Prevalence of keratoconus in persons with Down syndrome: a review
BMJ Open Ophthalmology, 2021 Purpose Keratoconus is a vision-threatening condition, and there is a need for knowledge about the occurrence in subgroups of the population. The progression of the disease can be effectively stopped, and vision may be restored, if keratoconus is ...

Analysis of the pathogenic factors and management of dry eye in ocular surface disorders [PDF]
, 2017 The tear film represents the interface between the eye and the environment. The alteration of the delicate balance that regulates the secretion and distribution of the tear film determines the dry eye (DE) syndrome. Despite having a multifactorial origin,
