Parameters of a basic ophthalmic examination that can ensure proper timing of corneal crosslinking in patients with keratoconus
ConclusionsIt is advisable to refer patients with keratoconus to a specialized facility for CXL when either of the following conditions is present: (i) UCDVA (decimal visual acuity) ≥ 0.06 or (ii) CDVA (decimal visual acuity) ≥ 0.3. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Long-term outcomes of deep anterior lamellar versus penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus
CONCLUSIONS: DALK featuring higher endothelial survival and lower risk of postoperative ocular hypertension may be superior to PK when indicated for keratoconus.PMID:37890880 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-324230 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

The cellular responses of corneal fibroblasts to cyclic stretching loads
In this study, we investigated the responses of corneal fibroblasts to cyclic stretching loads using an in vitro cell culture system. Bovine corneal fibroblasts were cultured and subjected to equibiaxial cyclic strain of 15% for 72 h at a frequency of 0.25 Hz, with bovine skin fibroblasts used as a comparison. We explored various cellular behaviors, including morphological changes, cell proliferation, and metabolism in response to mechanical stretching loads. The expression of genes, protein secretion, and enzymatic activity for several major metalloproteinases was also determined through Q-PCR, Western blot, and gel zymog...
