Local variation in absolute water content of human and rabbit eye lenses measured by Raman microspectroscopy [PDF]
Raman spectra were obtained from fresh, fixed and sliced rabbit lenses and from human lens slices. For all lenses and lens slices the ratio R, defined as the Raman intensity at 3390 cm−1 divided by the Raman intensity at 2935 cm−1, was measured at ...

Thimerosal: current sources of contact in Brazil [PDF]
Thimerosal is an organic mercury derivative found in ophthalmic solutions and certain vaccines in Brazil. Although most studies suggest the prevalence of thimerosal sensitivity to be quite high, this condition does not currently have any clinical ...

First-order Design of a Reflective Viewfinder for Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscopy [PDF]
Adaptive optics (AO) ophthalmoscopes with small fields of view have limited clinical utility. We propose to address this problem in reflective instruments by incorporating a viewfinder pupil relay designed by considering pupil and image centering and ...

Computation of dioptric and magnification matrices in ophthalmic lenses [PDF]
The diopter power and magnification matrices characterize the first-order properties of ophthalmic lenses for different gaze directions. Therefore an efficient method to compute them is highly valuable in ophthalmic lens design and optical performance ...

Analysis of the pathogenic factors and management of dry eye in ocular surface disorders [PDF]
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,
