Prevention of Blindness in Stickler Syndrome. [PDF]
Stickler syndromes are inherited conditions caused by abnormalities of structural proteins in the eye, inner ear and cartilage. The risk of retinal detachment, particularly due to the development of giant retinal tears, is high.

Retinal Detachment: What are the Types and Potential Causes? [PDF]
Retinal detachment is one of the few ocular emergencies. Depending on the extensiveness of the detachment, and whether it is macula on or macula off, will affect the patient’s visual acuity after treatment.

Preoperative electrophysiological characterization of patients with primary macula-involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment [PDF]
Purpose: To determine 1) which components of retinal function are impaired after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, 2) which outer retinal pathways (rod- or cone-driven) are more severely affected, and 3) whether there is concomitant inner retinal ...

Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

The effect of a preoperative subconjuntival injection of dexamethasone on blood-retinal barrier breakdown following scleral buckling retinal detachment surgery: a prospective randomized placebo-controlled double blind clinical trial [PDF]
Background: Blood-retinal barrier breakdown secondary to retinal detachment and retinal detachment repair is a factor in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). We wished to investigate whether an estimated 700 to 1000 ng/ml subretinal

Retinal regions shape human and murine Müller cell proteome profile and functionality
Main Points We defined Müller cells heterogeneity in the macular and peripheral human retina. Signaling pathways shaping this glial heterogeneity include proteins important for interaction with vesicular secretion, extracellular matrix and cell adhesion.
