White-to-white corneal diameter: normal values in healthy humans obtained with the Orbscan II topography system.
TLDR
With the obtained normal values, the corneal horizontal diameter was not significantly greater in males than in females and more precise determination of microcornea and macrocornea will be possible in the future.Abstract:
Purpose:The corneal horizontal diameter (white-to-white) is abnormal in diseases like microcornea, relative anterior microphthalmos, and corneal dystrophies. Because normal values are described imprecisely in the literature, the purpose of this study was to reevaluate the horizontal corneal diameterread more

Anatomy and physiology of the cornea
Derek W. DelMonte,Terry Kim +1 more
TL;DR: The cornea lacks the neurobiological sophistication of the retina and the dynamic movement of the lens; yet, without its clarity, the eye would not be able to perform its necessary functions.

Anatomy of cornea and ocular surface.
TL;DR: The structure and function of various components of cornea and ocular surface are presented and major advances have taken place in understanding the organization of collagen in the corneal stroma.

Nonsurgical management of upper eyelid margin asymmetry using hyaluronic acid gel filler.
TL;DR: Upper eyelid injection with hylauronic acid gel filler may be an effective nonsurgical alternative to improve upper eyelid margin asymmetry in cases of relative lower eyelid retraction.

Contact lenses in the management of keratoconus.
Melissa Barnett,Mark J. Mannis +1 more
TL;DR: The range of contact lens modalities currently available for the successful optical correction of keratoconus is greatly expanded, including rigid gas-permeable (GP) lenses, intralimbal lenses, corneosclal lenses, scleral lenses, Hybrid lenses, hybrid lenses, and piggyback lenses.

Anatomy and physiology of the human eye: effects of mucopolysaccharidoses disease on structure and function - a review
TL;DR: The current paper provides an overview of current knowledge on the structure and function of the eye and describes in depth the different parts of theEye that are involved in the ocular manifestations seen in the mucopolysaccharidoses.

Keratoconus evaluation using the Orbscan Topography System.
TL;DR: The Orbscan system can provide useful and accurate information in defining the morphology of keratoconus and detecting subtle topographic changes present in early keratconus and may also improve the results of contact lens fitting and surgical management.

Nanophthalmos: a perspective on identification and therapy
TL;DR: Treatment methods included medication, laser iridotomy and gonioplasty, peripheral iridectomy, filtration surgery, and cataract extraction for angle-closure glaucoma in nanophthalmos, with mixed results.

Collamer intraocular contact lens to correct high myopia
TL;DR: The intimate contact between the contact lens and the natural lens raises the possibility of cataract formation, however, examination by Scheimpflug photography and ultrasound biomicroscopy showed no progressive lens opacities.
