Corneal nerves in health and disease (2019)
Journal Article
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...

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...

Epiretinal Membrane Surgery Outcomes in Eyes with Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits: A Case Control Study (2018)
Journal Article
© 2018 Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery in eyes with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SRDDs) and to compare them with those with isolated ERM. Design: Retrospective case-control study of consecutive patients who underw... Read More about Epiretinal Membrane Surgery Outcomes in Eyes with Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits: A Case Control Study.
Healing of autologous conjunctival grafts in pterygium surgery (2018)
Journal Article
Purpose To temporally study the healing of conjunctival autografts in consecutive patients following pterygium surgery. Methods A case?cohort observational study. Thirty?two eyes of 28 patients who underwent pterygium surgery were included. All... Read More about Healing of autologous conjunctival grafts in pterygium surgery.
Lamellar keratoplasty techniques (2018)
Journal Article
© 2018 Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Lamellar keratoplasty (LK) has revolutionized corneal graft surgery in several ways. Deep anterior LK (DALK) has eliminated risk of failure due to endothelial rejection. Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) has almost... Read More about Lamellar keratoplasty techniques.
Elastin content and distribution in endothelial keratoplasty tissue determines direction of scrolling (2018)
Journal Article
Purpose Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and pre-Descemet endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) tissues always scroll with the endothelial cells (EC) outside. We designed a study to understand the reason for this behavior. Design... Read More about Elastin content and distribution in endothelial keratoplasty tissue determines direction of scrolling.
Neurotrophic keratopathy (2018)
Journal Article
Neurotrophic Keratopathy (NK) refers to a condition where corneal epitheliopathy leading to frank epithelial defect with or without stromal ulceration (melting) is associated with reduced or absent corneal sensations. Sensory nerves serve nociceptor... Read More about Neurotrophic keratopathy.

Human antimicrobial peptides in ocular surface defense (2017)
Journal Article
Sight depends on the passage of light through the transparent cornea and being focused on the fovea. Its exposed position renders it vulnerable to microbial infection. The cornea has developed a wide array of defense mechanisms against infection, of... Read More about Human antimicrobial peptides in ocular surface defense.
