Corneal lymphangiogenesis ameliorates corneal inflammation and edema in late stage of bacterial keratitis

Corneal edema and keratitis following selective laser trabeculoplasty

Purpose To describe three cases of keratitis following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT). Observations Three females with a history of glaucoma presented with corneal edema, keratitis (endothelial, epithelial) and decreased visual acuity shortly after SLT. There was variable resolution of symptoms after starting treatment with oral antiherpetics and topical steroids. Conclusions and imp...

Anterior corneal pathology in chronic corneal edema.

We read with interest the recent article by Alomar et al. and would like to congratulate the authors for their detailed description of confocal microscopy observations in corneas with chronic edema and their excellent description of the correlation of these observations to histopathologic findings. We certainly appreciate the vast amount of time that was spent acquiring images of such excellent...

Sunitinib inhibits inflammatory corneal lymphangiogenesis.

PURPOSE To evaluate the antilymphangiogenic potential of multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib in corneal neovascularization (NV). METHODS Inflammatory corneal NV was induced by thermal cauterization applied in the central cornea of mice, to which sunitinib malate was daily administered by gavage or not. At days 6, 11, or 17 post cauterization, lymphatic and blood vessels, as well ...

Corneal thickness in interstitial keratitis.

THE importance of the role played by changes in the thickness of the cornea in the induction of corneal vascularization has recently become increasingly recognized (Cogan, 1948; Ashton, Cook, and Langham, 1951; Langham, 1952, 1953; Ashton and Cook, 1953). However the relationship between the swelling and increase in opacity of the cornea to the rate and progress of vascularization of the cornea...
