PURPOSE Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bimatoprost 0.03% for treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis in a pediatric population. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group study was conducted at seven sites in the US and Brazil. Subjects with eyelash hypotrichosis caused by chemotherapy or alopecia areata (aged 5-17 years) or healthy adolescents aged ...

 In this paper, we present a novel eyelash detection model based on three criterions: 1) separable eyelash condition, 2) non-informative condition and 3) connective criterion. The first condition handles separable eyelash and the second condition manages multiple eyelashes. The last criterion avoids misclassification of strong iris texture as a single and separable eyelash. A number of images ...

Nowadays iris recognition becomes one of the most common methods for identification like password, keys, etc. In this paper, a new iris recognition system based on texture has been proposed to recognize persons using low quality iris images. At first, the iris area is located, and then a new method for eyelash and eyelid detection is applied, the introduced method depends on making image statis...

Eyelash area and eyelid marginal defects can be quite problematic to reconstruct in case of deficiency due its unique features. Reconstruction eyelashes not only contributes aesthetic but also functional results. The switch flap technique, which aims two stages, provide a tissue with reliable vascularity. Besides, the main advantage technique is reconstruction their exact equivalents ability pr...

A biometric system is designed to accurately identify people based on human physiological features such as face, iris, fingerprint and voice recognition. Iris recognition is considered to have the highest identification accuracy and commercial iris recognition systems have been deployed in many applications, like passports and border control. One of the key performance limitations in iris recog...

Prominent eyelashes are generally recognized as enhancing beauty and are often desired by women. Until recently, the options available to augment the prominence of eyelashes were limited to makeup, over-the-counter products, artificial eyelashes, and eyelash transplantation. Originally approved for the treatment of ocular hypertension, the prostamide, bimatoprost, is now approved for the treatm...

An iris recognition system uses the iris to distinguish the identity of a person using the rich iris texture feature. To effectively remove noise and precisely segment the stable iris region is a crucial stage prior to recognition. Most noises on iris images are caused by occlusion of eyelids or eyelashes in certain areas. In this paper, we propose an iris recognition system which precisely loc...

PURPOSE We investigated the incidence of prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy (PAP) in subjects with glaucoma treated with latanoprost ophthalmic solution. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One eye and the forehead in 22 subjects were evaluated. All patients had used latanoprost for more than 1 year (range, 12 to 45 months; mean, 26.0 months) and were prostaglandin F2α analogue treatment-naïve. Digita...
