Driving Innovation: The Impact of National Health Policies on Optometry Research in East Asia

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 37-46, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the optometric research landscape in three East Asian countries—China, Japan, and Korea—analysing how research trends align with each country's national health strategies. By evaluating published articles and reviews from national journals between 2006 March 2025, we identify key areas of focus, including paediatric ...

Nerve growth factor therapy in stage 2 and 3 neurotrophic keratopathy: A prospective, open‐label clinical trial

Eye &ENT Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 275-283, December 2025.
Abstract Background Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a rare degenerative corneal disease characterized by reduced corneal sensitivity and impaired epithelial healing, frequently resulting in persistent epithelial defects and corneal ulcers. Conventional therapies provide symptomatic relief but do not restore corneal innervation, highlighting a ...

Artificial Cornea Substitute Based on Hydrogel Skeletons with Natural Stromal Hierarchical Structure and Extracellular Matrix for Sutureless Transplantation

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 19, May 22, 2025.
Humanized corneal stroma‐like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are developed for lamellar keratoplasty and corneal perforation repair. HCSPs exhibit histological, optical, and biomechanical characteristics similar to those of the natural cornea, with improved wet tissue adhesion, anti‐degradation, and anti‐swelling capabilities compared to conventional tissue ...
