چکیده

This book, with contributions by some distinguished ophthalmologists, neatly summarizes some of the recent advances in corneal diseases and their management. The opening chapter by Dua and Said, is an appropriate introduction to the book, dealing as it does with the fundamental basics of ocular health – the tear film, conjunctiva, the limbus with its reservoir of stem cells and corneal nerves. The authors’ summary of the current principles in the management of some commonly encountered diseases of the ocular surface like dry eye, infective keratitis and allergic eye disease would be useful to all general ophthalmologists. The algorithmic approach in the treatment of the more complex group of cicatrizing disorders of the ocular surface has been dealt with nicely.

Keratoconus experimentally produced in mice using collagenase

Introduction: Keratoconus is a relatively common disease of cornea in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to thin and change to a conical shape and scar at the central portion of cornea. So far, few methods and drug treatments were introduced due to both lack of accepted animal models to induce experimental keratoconus and limitation of research in human considering ethical issu...

Loratadine- Loaded Thermoresponsive Hydogel : Characterization and Ex-vivo Rabbit Cornea Permeability Studies

Poor bioavailability of ophthalmic drops is mainly due to drainage through the nasal-lacrimal duct and a very low permeability through corneal epithelium. The aim of our study was to prepare and characterize an ocular hydrogel of loratadine, as an example of a lipophilic drug, to increase drug concentration and residence time at the site of action in the eye. In this study,a 23full factorial de...

The Effect of Lyophilization on Light Transmission of Amniotic Membrane: A Comparison with Rabbit Cornea

Background & Aims: Amniotic membrane persists for a long time after ocular transplantation (as corneal substitute) and can affect light transmission (transparency). The aim of this study was to evaluate the transparency of amniotic membrane after freeze-drying (lyophilization) and to compare the results with transparency of rabbit cornea. Methods: Transparency of rabbits’ corneas and fresh and ...

Histopathological Finding of Cornea after Collagen Cross-Linking Using Riboflavin and Ultraviolet A in Rabbit

Purpose: To evaluate the histopathological changes of the cornea in rabbit corneas after accelerated collagen cross-linking. Methods: Right eyes of 7 adult New Zealand albino rabbits weighing 1.5 to 2.0 kg were studied. Right eyes of all animals were in the treatment group and left eyes were in the control group. The epithelium of all right eyes was removed and was crossed-linked with riboflavi...

Keratin 13 is a more specific marker of conjunctival epithelium than keratin 19

Introduction To evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (K) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether K13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium. Methods: Total RNA was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea. Those transcripts that had threefolds or higher expression levels in the conjunctiva than the cornea wer...
