Neurotrophic Keratopathy (NK) refers to a condition where corneal epitheliopathy leading to
frank epithelial defect with or without stromal ulceration (melting) is associated with reduced …

The cornea is the most sensitive structure in the human body. Corneal nerves adapt to
maintain transparency and contribute to corneal health by mediating tear secretion and …

The cornea is unique because of its complete avascularity. Corneal neovascularization
(CNV) can result from a variety of etiologies including contact lens wear; corneal infections; …

The global shortage of donor corneas for transplantation has led to corneal bioengineering
being investigated as a method to generate transplantable tissues. Decellularized corneas …

The aim of this study was to construct a full-thickness artificial cornea substitute in vitro by
coculturing limbal epithelial cell-like (LEC-like) cells and corneal endothelial cell-like (CEC …

Lipid keratopathy is a disease in which fat deposits accumulate in the cornea, leading to
opacification and decrease of visual acuity. This condition can be idiopathic without signs of …

Corneal avascularity is maintained by angiogenic privilege, an active process involving the
production of higher level of angiostatic factors to offset the effect of angiogenic factors. A …

We examined the effects of climatic factors and Demodex infestations on meibomian gland
dysfunction (MGD)-associated dry eye disease (DED) in a cross-sectional study. This study …

Background To evaluate the ocular surface characteristics and the infestation of Demodex in
Chinese paediatric and adult blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC). Methods Fifty consecutive …

The vascular system of the ocular surface plays a central role in infectious, autoimmune,
inflammatory, traumatic and neoplastic diseases. The development, application, and …
