AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Corneal confocal microscopy is a rapid non-invasive ophthalmic imaging technique that identifies peripheral and central neurodegenerative disease. Quantification of corneal sub-basal nerve plexus morphology, however, requires either ...
The purpose of this methodological study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN), which is a recently developed deep-learning-based image recognition method, to determine corneal ulcer severity in dogs. The CNN model was trained with imag...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fungal keratitis is caused by inflammation of the cornea that results from infection by fungal organisms. The lack of an early effective diagnosis often results in serious complications even blindness. Confocal microscopy i...

Keratoconus (KTC) is a noninflammatory disorder characterized by progressive thinning, corneal deformation, and scarring of the cornea. The pathological mechanisms of this condition have been investigated for a long time. In recent years, this diseas...
We developed an unsupervised machine learning algorithm and applied it to big corneal parameters to identify and monitor keratoconus stages. A big dataset of corneal swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of 12,242 eyes acquired from ...

PURPOSE: Lifitegrast is approved in the United States for the treatment of dry eye disease (DED). We assessed lifitegrast's ocular distribution/pharmacokinetic profile in rabbits, and C-lifitegrast mass balance/excretion in dogs.
BACKGROUND: Efficacy and high availability of surgery techniques for refractive defect correction increase the number of patients who undergo to this type of surgery. Regardless of that, with increasing age, more and more patients must undergo catara...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate molecular mechanisms mediating anti-fibrotic effect of SAHA in the canine cornea using an in vitro model. We hypothesized that SAHA attenuates corneal fibrosis by modulating Smad-dependent and, to a lesser extent, Smad-indep...
PurposeTo identify parameters that are significant risk predictors of visual field (VF) progression in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) or early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), using Goldmann applanation tonometry intraocular pressure (IOP...
