Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia

The ocular surface is composed of the conjunctiva and the cornea. The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane which covers the globe and inner part of the eyelids. The morphology of conjunctival epithelial cells are nonkeratinized stratified epithelia which vary from cuboidal over the tarsus, to columnar in the fornices, to squamous epithelia on the globe. Goblet cells account for up to 10% of the bas...

Ocular Surface Reconstitution

Ocular Surface Development and Gene Expression

The ocular surface-a continuous epithelial surface with regional specializations including the surface and glandular epithelia of the cornea, conjunctiva, and lacrimal and meibomian glands connected by the overlying tear film-plays a central role in vision. Molecular and cellular events involved in embryonic development, postnatal maturation, and maintenance of the ocular surface are precisely ...

Ocular Surface Morbidities in Glaucoma

Introduction: Ocular surface disease (OSD) is a major cause of ophthalmological consultation. Within this group, glaucoma patients constitute an important percentage due to the nature of their chronic topical treatment. Advances in the understanding of ocular surface pathology on both a cellular and molecular level, and the interaction to the toxic nature of some topical medication solution com...
