Ocular chemical burns are an ophthalmic emergency and are responsible for 11.5%–22.1%
of ocular injuries. Immediate copious irrigation is universally recommended in acute ocular …

The cornea is unique because of its complete avascularity. Corneal neovascularization
(CNV) can result from a variety of etiologies including contact lens wear; corneal infections; …

Chemical injuries frequently result in vision loss, disfigurement, and challenging ocular
surface complications. Acute interventions are directed at decreasing the extent of the injury …

Background Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has a long tradition in ophthalmic
surgery and has become very popular recently because of newly developed methods of …

Ocular complications from diabetes mellitus are common. Diabetic keratopathy, the most
frequent clinical condition affecting the human cornea, is a potentially sight-threatening …

Ocular chemical burns are common and serious ocular emergencies that require immediate
and intensive evaluation and care. The victims of such incidents are usually young, and …

Cryopreserved amniotic membrane modulates adult wound healing by promoting
epithelialization while suppressing stromal inflammation, angiogenesis and scarring. Such …

Ocular surface neovascularization and its resulting pathological changes significantly alter
corneal refraction and obstruct light path to the retina, and hence is a major cause of vision …

In this article, we provide the results of experimental studies demonstrating that corneal
avascularity is an active process involving the production of anti-angiogenic factors, which …

The amniotic membrane remains a useful tool in the treatment of several ophthalmic
conditions, especially those related to the ocular surface. However, the 'success' reported in …
