Purpose This paper briefly reviews current explanations for corneal transparency and uses a well-developed model to try to explain the increased light scattering either accompanying corneal ...

Corneal transparency was restored and postoperative visual acuity improved remarkably in all four eyes. During a mean follow-up period of 14 months, all corneal surfaces remained transparent.

Two years postoperatively, corneal transparency was at the highest level (4+) in all subjects, without vascularization, inflammation, rejection, or other adverse events.

The cornea, one of only a few tissues in the body that actively keep themselves vessel-free (the other is cartilage), is the thin transparent tissue that covers the front of the eye.

Cell therapies show promise for treating eye conditions. One approach injects cultured human corneal endothelial cells with a ROCK inhibitor, yielding positive results in small clinical trials.

Because the cornea is so important for forming an image, any change in corneal shape (astigmatism) or opacity has a major impact on the quality of vision. Skip to content. Menu.

Corneal blindness refers to a group of eye disorders that change the corneal transparency and lead to blindness. The condition affects around 13 million people globally and is most prevalent in ...

The corneal endothelium is critical in maintaining corneal transparency and preventing swelling. Compared to traditional full-thickness corneal transplants, ...

A corneal ulcer is an open sore or wound on the cornea — the transparent, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye and focuses light into it. Often beginning as keratitis ...
