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

Surgical Reconstruction of Ocular Surface Tumors Using Fibrin Sealant Tissue Adhesive.

PURPOSE To evaluate the surgical outcomes of ocular surface reconstruction in corneal-conjunctival tumors using fibrin tissue adhesive.

Impression cytology in the evaluation of ocular surface tumors: review article.

Impression cytology (IC) has been widely used as a method for evaluating the ocular surface and superficial cells layers in the diagnosis and follow-up after treatment of several ocular surface tumors of both epithelial and melanocytic origin. Information regarding this can be found in the English-language literature since 1992. Using either cellulose acetate or Biopore membranes for specimen c...
