The ‘barcode sign’ seen on optical coherence tomography of extensive corneal vascularization (2023)
Journal Article
El Zawahry, F. O., Beer, F., Yildiz, B. K., Said, D. G., & Dua, H. S. (2023). The ‘barcode sign’ seen on optical coherence tomography of extensive corneal vascularization. Eye, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-023-02602-z

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is used extensively in imaging the cornea in health and disease. OCT delineates interfaces of differing refractive indices, which often but not always correspond to histological features of the tissue. Interpretatio...

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...

Journal Article
Mastropasqua, L., Nubile, M., Lanzini, M., Calienno, R., & Dua, H. S. (2019). In vivo microscopic and optical coherence tomography classification of neurotrophic keratopathy. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 234(5), 6108-6115. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.27345

© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a rare degenerative corneal disorder characterized by instability of epithelial integrity with consequent epithelial defects that can worsen up to persistent epithelial defects with stro...

Neurotrophic keratopathy (2018)
Journal Article
Dua, H. S., Said, D. G., Messmer, E. M., Rolando, M., Benitez-del-Castillo, J. M., Hossain, P. N., …Baudouin, C. (2018). Neurotrophic keratopathy. Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 66, 107-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.preteyeres.2018.04.003

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.

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty: dissection plane with viscoelastic and air can be different (2018)
Journal Article
Ross, A. R., Said, D. G., El-Amin, A., Altaan, S., Cabrerizo, J., Nubile, M., …Dua, H. S. (2018). Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty: dissection plane with viscoelastic and air can be different. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 102(12), 1646-1652. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjophthalmol-2017-311349

Aims: To investigate and define the nature of big bubbles (BB) formed by injection of viscoelastic in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Methods: Intrastromal injections of 0.1 and 0.3 mL of sodium hyaluronate 1.2% and 0.6% were made into sclera...
