In vivo confocal microscopy features and clinicohistological correlation of limbal nerve corpuscles (2019)
Journal Article
Al-Aqaba, M. A., Anis, F. S., Mohammed, I., Yapa, A. D. S., Amoaku, W. M., & Dua, H. S. S. (2019). In vivo confocal microscopy features and clinicohistological correlation of limbal nerve corpuscles. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjophthalmol-2018-313199

Aims To describe the in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) features of human limbal nerve corpuscles (LNCs) and correlate these with the histological features. Methods We examined 40 eyes of 29 healthy living subjects (17 female, 12 male; mean age=47...

Corneal nerves in health and disease (2019)
Journal Article
Al Aqaba, M. A., Dhillon, V. K., Mohammed, I., Said, D. G., & Dua, H. S. (2019). Corneal nerves in health and disease. Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 73, Article 100762. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.preteyeres.2019.05.003

The cornea is the most sensitive structure in the human body. Corneal nerves adapt to maintain transparency and contribute to corneal health by mediating tear secretion and protective reflexes and provide trophic support to epithelial and stromal cel...

Nerve terminals at the human corneoscleral limbus (2017)
Journal Article
Al -Aqaba, M., Anis, F. S., Mohammed, I., & Dua, H. S. (2017). Nerve terminals at the human corneoscleral limbus. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 102(4), 556-561. doi:10.1136/bjophthalmol-2017-311146

Aims: To demonstrate and characterise distinct subepithelial compact nerve endings (CNE) at the human corneoscleral limbus. Methods: Ten fresh human donor corneoscleral discs (mean age, 67 years) and 26 organ-cultured corneoscleral rims (mean age,... Read More about Nerve terminals at the human corneoscleral limbus.

Survival of corneal nerve/sheath structures in organ-cultured donor corneas (2017)
Journal Article
Dhillon, V. K., Elalfy, M. S., Messina, M., Al-Aqaba, M., & Dua, H. S. (2018). Survival of corneal nerve/sheath structures in organ-cultured donor corneas. Acta Ophthalmologica, 96(3), e334-e340. doi:10.1111/aos.13614

Purpose To study the morphology of human corneal nerves in eye bank organ‐cultured corneas and in corneal grafts post‐transplantation. Methods Thirty‐seven organ‐cultured corneas were divided into: Group‐A, anterior 300–400 μm of 20 corneas used...

Background/aims: To clinically characterise corneal neovascularisation (CVas) with a view to elaborate clinical presentations and to standardise descriptors for clinical evaluation and research. Methods: Corneas of 165 patients with CVas due to a va... Read More about Clinical evaluation and characterisation of corneal vascularisation.
