1. Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy : Genetic aetiology and as a risk factor in cataract surgery
Abstract : Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a bilateral, often hereditary degenerative corneal disease, in which the disrupted endothelial cell function causes corneal swelling and reduced vision. An early clinical sign of FECD is corneal guttata, an irregularity of the endothelial layer. READ MORE

2. The assessment of disease progression in keratoconus and corneal crosslinking in thin corneae
Abstract : Keratoconus generally manifests in adolescents, and can progress leading to severely impaired vision. The risk of progression is inversely correlated to age; thus younger patients are at higher risk than older ones. Progressive keratoconus can be halted by corneal crosslinking (CXL). READ MORE

Abstract : Growth of pathological new vessels (angiogenesis) in the eye is a leading cause of severe vision-loss. Ocular angiogenesis is seen in the anterior part of the eye as in corneal neovascularization, or in the posterior part as in diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity or age-related macular degeneration.
