3D Corneal Shape After Implantation of a Biosynthetic Corneal Stromal Substitute.
PURPOSE The current and projected shortage of transplantable human donor corneas has prompted the development of long-term alternatives to human donor tissue for corneal replacement. The biosynthetic stromal substitutes (BSS) characterized herein represent a potentially safe alternative to donor organ transplantation for anterior corneal stromal diseases. The goal of this phase 1 safety study w...
متن کاملThe structural and optical properties of type III human collagen biosynthetic corneal substitutes
The structural and optical properties of clinically biocompatible, cell-free hydrogels comprised of synthetically cross-linked and moulded recombinant human collagen type III (RHCIII) with and without the incorporation of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) were assessed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray scattering, spectroscopy and refractometry. These findings wer...
متن کاملFusion of Different Corneal Parameters to Improve the Diagnosis of Keratoconus
Purpose: To diagnose keratoconus from healthy eyes, as well as suspected keratoconus. Methods: Certain parameters were extracted from Casia, Corvis, and Pentacam HR devices for 3 groups of healthy, with keratoconus, and suspected keratoconus. This study was performed on 340 eyes with keratoconus, 310 normal eyes, and 350 suspected keratoconus. The processing method involved the fusion of featur...
متن کاملEvaluation of corneal symmetry after UV corneal crosslinking for keratoconus
Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess UV corneal crosslinking (CXL) treatment outcomes for keratoconus by evaluating the corneal regularity in patients through follow-up using the Oculus Pentacam. Patients and methods A total of 18 eyes from CXL patients with keratoconus were studied before and after CXL treatment, and six eyes from six patients who were not treated with CXL served ...
متن کاملthe corneal volume and biomechanical corneal factors: is there any correlation?
normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background : the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between corneal hysteresis (ch) and the corneal resistance factor (crf), which are both novel methods of analyzing ocular rigidity/elasticity, and various corneal characteristics, mainly corneal volume in normal subjects. methods : this cross-sectional study included 500 normal eyes...
