Corneal wound healing is a complex process involving cell death, migration, proliferation,
differentiation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Many similarities are observed in the …

The eye is regarded as an immune privileged site. Since the presence of a vasculature
would impair vision, the vasculature of the eye is located outside of the central light path. As …

The importance of the cornea to the ocular structure and visual system is often overlooked
because of the cornea's unassuming transparent nature. The cornea lacks the …

The corneal wound healing response, including the development of stromal opacity in some
eyes, is a process that often leads to scarring that occurs after injury, surgery or infection to …

The biomechanical and wound healing properties of the cornea undermine the predictability
and stability of refractive surgery and contribute to discrepancies between attempted and …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in all parts of the eye, from maintaining
clarity and hydration of the cornea and vitreous to regulating angiogenesis, intraocular …

Drs. Paul L. Kaufman, Albert Alm, Leonard A Levin, Siv FE Nilsson, James Ver Hoeve, and
Samuel Wu present the 11th Edition of the classic text Adler's Physiology of the Eye …

Hydrogel biomaterials have many favorable characteristics including tuneable mechanical
behavior, cytocompatibility, optical properties suitable for regeneration and restoration of the …

PURPOSE:: To compare the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens (IOL) and an AcrySof spherical
control IOL and to investigate rotational stability of the AcrySof Toric IOL (Alcon Laboratories …

Purpose To determine the molecular basis of corneal avascularity during wound healing
