Important functions of cornea in the eye include protecting the structures inside the eye,
contributing to the refractive power of the eye, and focusing light rays on the retina with …

The corneal stroma plays several pivotal roles within the eye. Optically, it is the main
refracting lens and thus has to combine almost perfect transmission of visible light with …

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 …

Biopolymer nanofibrils exhibit exceptional mechanical properties with a unique combination
of strength and toughness, while also presenting biological functions that interact with the …

Purpose: The corneal wound healing response is of particular relevance for refractive
surgical procedures since it is a major determinant of efficacy and safety. The purpose of this …

The current paper provides an overview of current knowledge on the structure and function
of the eye. It describes in depth the different parts of the eye that are involved in the ocular …

Purpose In recent years, the interest in corneal biomechanics has strongly increased. The
material properties of the cornea determine its shape and therefore play an important role in …

The cornea has evolved to fulfil the dual functions of enclosing and protecting the inner
contents of the eye, and focussing light onto the retina with minimum scatter and optical …

In this study, dissolving microneedles (MNs) were used to enhance ocular drug delivery of
macromolecules. MNs were fabricated using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer of various …

Recent studies have shown that alterations in corneal biomechanical properties are
associated with corneal pathologies, particularly corneal ectasia. Moreover, these …
