PARIS — The biomechanical response of the cornea to tissue ablation affects the refractive outcome of LASIK perhaps more than most surgeons realize, according to a physicist speaking here. She said ...

A total of 42 eyes of 21 patients with VKC and steroid-induced glaucoma (Group I) and 66 eyes of 33 patients with VKC without glaucoma (Group II) underwent an evaluation by Orbscan topography. In eyes ...

Immune cells (T cells, green) can be see entering the cornea of the eye, towards the Herpes Simplex Virus- infected cells (light blue). The eye is rich in nerves (purple). [Doherty Institute] ...

Expert Rev Ophthalmol. 2012;7(1):33-44. Corneal CXL without epithelial debridement in rabbit eyes was found to reduce the biomechanical effect by approximately one-fifth as compared with that obtained ...

LISBON, Portugal — Modifying custom ablation algorithms could resolve regional differences in the cornea and optical symmetry between both eyes, said Marco Lombardo, MD, during his presentation at the ...

The cornea is a thin, transparent dome that covers your eye’s iris and pupil. A minor scratch of the cornea is called a corneal abrasion. Most corneal abrasions are minor and heal quickly. The iris is ...

At the front of the eye is a clear layer of tissue called the cornea. The cornea is like a window that lets light enter the eye. Tears defend the cornea against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. A corneal ...
