The limbus may appear thickened and opacified ... angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors may contribute to severe corneal neovascularization that can develop in severe AKC and VKC.

A research team from the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, China, has developed a novel biocompatible nanoadhesive for ...

Direct selective laser trabeculoplasty enhances the experience for both patients and physicians, he notes, while also ...

With WTW, the horizontal diameter of the cornea is measured from the 3 o’clock to 9 o’clock limbus typically using either a caliper or an automated device. In my experience, biometers measure ...

DSLT promises to be easier to carry out and more rapid. It involves delivering laser light directly to the trabecular network through the peripheral cornea and adjacent limbus areas of the eye, rather ...

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the most important vision-threatening complications secondary to pathological myopia (PM). In the last 20 years, there have been rapid advances in the ...

A corneal abrasion is a scratch on your eye. It can happen in an instant — such as when you poke your eye or something (like dirt or sand) gets trapped under your eyelid. Your eye hurts ...

Arcus senilis is a white, gray, or blue arc or ring that develops around the edge of the cornea. It typically appears as an arc that affects the top and bottom of the cornea. According to the ...

Background: The limbus is located at a 2-mm-wide area between the bulbar conjunctiva and the cornea and has been suggested to be the niche of corneal epithelial stem cells and immune cells. Like the ...

We included patients with corneal vascularisation secondary to microbial keratitis; extending more than 3 mm from the limbus into the cornea with significant corneal lipid keratopathy and scarring; ...

The axial length-to-corneal curvature radius ratio (AL/CR) is negatively correlated with choroidal blood flow in children with myopia, supporting the idea that myopia is an ischemic eye condition, ...
