Purpose. To investigate corneal biomechanical properties in patients with dry eye and in healthy subjects using Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (CorVis ST). Methods. Biomechanical parameters were measured using CorVis ST in 28 eyes of 28 patients with dry eye (dry eye group) and 26 normal subjects (control group). The Schirmer I test value, tear film break-up time (TBUT), and corne...

The aim of this study is to investigate in vivo and ex vivo ocular surface alterations induced by dry eye disease and modification after osmoprotective therapy. Forty-eight eyes of 24 patients suffering from dry eye have been recruited. All patients received Optive (compatible solutes) eye drops in one randomly selected eye and Hylogel (sodium hyaluronate 0,2%) in the other. Follow-up included ...

PURPOSE To evaluate of functional and cosmetic effectiveness of lower eyelid sling technique with fascia lata graft in patients with lagophthalmos due to facial paralysis. MATERIAL AND METHOD Ten patients with a mean age of 55.1 ± 19.77 years who underwent lower eyelid sling surgery with a fascia lata graft between September 2011 and January 2014 were included in this prospective study. Preop...

MUC5AC is the most abundant gel-forming mucin in the ocular system. However, the specific function is unknown. In the present study, a Muc5ac knockout (KO) mouse model was subject to various physiological measurements as compared to its wide-type (WT) control. Interestingly, when KO mice were compared to WT mice, the mean tear break up time (TBUT) values were significantly lower and corneal flu...

Introduction Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is a common, often overlooked, chronic condition affecting eyes for which various therapies are being evaluated. Considering the absence of a systematic review and meta-analysis, the present review was carried out. Methods An appropriate search strategy eligibility criteria were framed and electronic databases were scrutinized for appropriate lit...

Meibomian glands dysfunction (MGD) is the main cause of dry eyes. Biological parameters meibomian gland (MG) such as height, tortuosity and degree atrophy are closely related to its function. However, Thus, an effective quantitative diagnostic tool needed for clinical diagnosis. Automatic quantification MGs' morphological features could be a challenging task play important role in MGD diagnosis...

Th is review presents an exhaustive analysis of the current literature on ocular surface disease (OSD) in glaucoma. OSD in this population mainly manifests in the cornea and conjunctiva as superfi cial punctate keratitis and tear fi lm instability, aggravated by the chronic use of intraocular pressure–lowering medications; this could account for poor treatment adherence and worsening of the pat...

Infrared (IR) thermographic assessment of ocular surface temperature (OST) is gaining interest as an adjuvant method to evaluate the surface. It a quick, non-invasive test that causes minimal, if any, discomfort patients. The purpose this article was summarize research on how OST relates tear film parameters and dry eye disease (DED). PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus searches for specific terms w...
