On the etiology of keratocyte loss during contact lens wear.
PURPOSE To employ confocal microscopy to investigate the etiology of keratocyte loss after short-term contact lens wear by monitoring quantitative changes in keratocyte density. METHODS Twenty neophyte subjects aged 26 +/- 3 years participated in the study, which was conducted over the course of three experimental sessions. In the first session, one eye of each subject was fitted with a silic...
متن کاملContact dynamics during keratocyte motility
BACKGROUND Keratocytes are specialised, rapidly moving cells that generate substantial contractile force perpendicular to their direction of locomotion. Potential roles for contractile force in cell motility include cell-body transport, regulation of adhesion, and retraction of the cell's trailing edge. RESULTS To investigate contact dynamics, we used simultaneous confocal fluorescence and in...
متن کاملContact lens induced keratitis associated with contact lens wear.
PURPOSE To evaluate clinical characteristics, risk factors, management and outcome of contact lens induced keratitis (CLIK) associated with contact lens wear. METHODS The study comprised all consecutive patients presenting with contact lens related presumed microbial keratitis during a 12-month period at our department. Detailed demographic data, type of contact lens, duration of lens wear, w...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Tear calcium levels and contact lens wear.
Hydrophilic contact lens spoliation can be associated with the deposition of calcium salts. The relationship between the concentration of calcium in tear fluid and contact lens use has been studied in healthy volunteers and in patients using various forms of hard and soft contact lenses, tear samples being collected with Schirmer strips and with lenses in situ. Methods are suggested for correct...
