In vitro evaluation of electrospun blends of gelatin and PCL for application as a partial thickness corneal graft (2018)
Journal Article

The advent of innovative surgical procedures utilizing partial thickness corneal grafts has created a need for the development of synthetic implants to recreate corneal stromal tissue. This work evaluates electrospun gelatin and polycaprolactone (PCL...

Localised corneal haze and scarring following pulsed accelerated collagen cross-linking for keratoconus (2018)
Journal Article

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is the only treatment that delays or arrests progression of keratoconus. CXL is a safe procedure with few complications. CXL protocols vary depending on time and energy used but all are safe and effective. Variati...
