In situ detection of multitarget impurities on contact lens by electrochemical scanning probe

Fang Liu, Tzu-En Lin, Yingdi Zhu

Identifying multitarget impurities on contact lenses is challenging because traditional methods such as polymerase chain reaction cannot be used on the unknown target. Other sampling methods often require expensive antibodies or dyes. Therefore, this resea ...

Enrichment of pathogenic alleles in the brittle cornea gene, ZNF469, in keratoconus

Keratoconus, a common inherited ocular disorder resulting in progressive corneal thinning, is the leading indication for corneal transplantation in the developed world. Genome-wide association studies have identified common SNPs 100 kb upstream of ZNF469 s ...

Second harmonic generating (SHG) Nanoprobes: A new tool for biomedical imaging

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Ye Pu

Cornea functions as an outermost lens and plays an important role in vision. For cornea diagnosis and treatment, a microscopic imaging system with cellular resolution and high eye safety is strongly desired. Recently, the cell morphology of corneal epithel ...

Oligopotent stem cells are distributed throughout the mammalian ocular surface

Yann Barrandon, Ariane Rochat, Georges Abou Jaoudé

The integrity of the cornea, the most anterior part of the eye, is indispensable for vision. Forty- five million individuals worldwide are bilaterally blind and another 135 million have severely impaired vision in both eyes because of loss of corneal trans ...

Corneal epithelial cell fate is maintained during repair by Notch1 signaling via the regulation of vitamin A metabolism

Freddy Radtke, Yann Barrandon

Integrity and preservation of a transparent cornea are essential for good vision. The corneal epithelium is stratified and nonkeratinized and is maintained and repaired by corneal stem cells. Here we demonstrate that Notch1 signaling is essential for cell ...

Microfabricated thin film strain gage sensor with telemetry microprocessor embedded in a soft contact lens for minimally invasive intraocular pressure monitoring

Matteo Leonardi

Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is the leading cause and the hallmark of Glaucoma, an asymptomatic and irreversible degenerative disease that, undetected or untreated, progresses to blindness due to optic nerve atrophy. Glaucoma is the second cause of ...
