Seven rabbits underwent small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedures, where their stromal lenticules were extracted and transplanted fresh into pre-prepared corneal stromal pockets of seven recipient eyes. Animals were...
Effect of preservative free fluoroquinolones on human corneal epithelial cells in vitro
Fluoroquinolones, including second generation (ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin), third generation (levofloxacin and tosufloxacin) and fourth generation (gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin), are a group of bactericidal agents used to treat multiple ocular infections. The third and fourth generation fluoroquinolones have enhanced Gram-positive activity...

ATG5, FYCO1, FYVE and coiled coil domain containing 1, LC3B, OFZ, Pik3c3, TOM20, autophagy, autophagy-related 5, cataract, differentiation, electron microscopy, lens, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B, mitophagy, organelle free zone, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, catalytic subunit type 3, translocase of the outer mitochondrial membranes 20 kDa
The lens consists of a monolayer of epithelial cells that overlies fibre cells that differentiate from epithelial cells at the equator. While developing, fibre cells need mitochondria to provide energy, as they mature they lose these and other organelles to...
