The amniotic membrane is a single epithelial layer of the placenta. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-scarring, anti-angiogenic and possibly bactericidal properties. The basement membrane of the amniotic membrane acts as a substrate to encourage healing and re-epithelialisation. It has been used in many ocular surface diseases including persistent epithelial defects (corneal or conjunctival), chemical or thermal burns, limbal stem cell deficiency, cicatrising conjunctivitis, ocular graft versus host disease, microbial keratitis, corneal perforation, bullous keratopathy, dry eye disease, corneal haze following refractive surgery and cross-linking, band keratopathy, ocular surface neoplasia, pterygium surgery, and ligneous conjunctivitis...

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is a "flapless" keratorefractive surgery with excellent safety, efficacy, stability, and predictability for myopia correction. A recent global multicenter study also reported good refractive outcomes for hyperopic SMILE. SMILE has shown advantages including improved biomechanical strength, fewer dry eye symptoms, less corneal denervation, and fewer surgery-induced higher-order aberrations over laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). However, night vision complaints, including glare, halos, and starbursts, could still occur after SMILE...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the assessment of the ocular surface using classic methods with the newly developed keratoscopy-based MYAH (Topcon EU, Visia Imaging, Japan) device after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional and observational study analyzed 80 eyes of 40 patients. Tear film and ocular surface evaluation were performed at baseline, postoperative week 1, and month 1. Measurements obtained using the Schirmer I test and invasive tear-film breakup time (I-TBT) were compared with non-invasive evaluation of the tear break-up time (NI-TBT), tear meniscus height (TMH) and blink analysis obtained using the MYAH device...

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of dry eye disease (DED) on the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and refractive status after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). This prospective cohort study enrolled 29 patients (DED group, 11 eyes; non-DED group, 18 eyes) who underwent SMILE in our center from July to September 2022. The examinations on DED, refractive status and UDVA were performed before surgery, and on day 7 and 20 after surgery. The results showed that on day 20 after SMILE, subjects in the non-DED group reported greater changes of ocular surface disease index value increase and tear-film breakup time reduction compared to baseline than those in the DED group ( p < 0...

This study systematically reviewed the performance of bandage contact lenses (BCL) such as lotrafilcon A, lotrafilcon B, senofilcon A, balafilcon A, and comfilcon A as postoperative treatment in different ocular surgeries. A systematic search of English and Chinese databases (from inception to December 2021) was conducted for studies reporting the efficacy of BCLs after ocular surgeries. Postoperative symptoms, corneal healing, and visual outcomes were studied. Overall, 38 studies were identified. Bandage contact lens was applied as a postoperative aid in corneal refractive, cataract, and vitrectomy surgeries...

Ocular surface neovascularization and its resulting pathological changes significantly alter corneal refraction and obstruct the light path to the retina, and hence is a major cause of vision loss. Various factors such as infection, irritation, trauma, dry eye, and ocular surface surgery trigger neovascularization via angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis dependent on VEGF-related and alternative mechanisms. Recent advances in antiangiogenic drugs, nanotechnology, gene therapy, surgical equipment and techniques, animal models, and drug delivery strategies have provided a range of novel therapeutic options for the treatment of ocular surface neovascularization...

Corneal neuromas, also termed microneuromas, refer to microscopic, irregularly-shaped enlargements of terminal subbasal nerve endings at sites of nerve damage or injury. The formation of corneal neuromas results from damage to corneal nerves, such as following corneal pathology or corneal or intraocular surgeries. Initially, denervated areas of sensory nerve fibers become invaded by sprouts of intact sensory nerve fibers, and later injured axons regenerate and new sprouts called neuromas develop. In recent years, analysis of corneal nerve abnormalities including corneal neuromas which can be identified using in vivo confocal microscopy, a non-invasive imaging technique with microscopic resolution, has been used to evaluate corneal neuropathy and ocular surface dysfunction...
