Aim: To determine whether thermography can be used to evaluate bleb function. Methods: The surface temperatures of filtering blebs from 39 eyes of 33 post-trabeculectomy patients were measured using ...

Single fibroblasts can, however, not be detected in healthy conjunctival stroma but are visible in scans of filtering blebs after glaucoma surgery. [97] ...

Conjunctival erosion and endophthalmitis are complications, the latter of which developed in 1.6% to 2% of cases at 3 years, likely because of conjunctival erosion. Septum dislodgement occurred early ...

Aims: To prospectively study the evolution of possible high risk features of conjunctival filtration blebs like avascularity, transconjunctival oozing (TCO), and leaks after mitomycin C (MMC) enhanced ...

As IVCM is able to differentiate between corneal and conjunctival epithelium, it is especially useful in diagnosing limbal stem cell insufficiency in clinically problematic cases.

A new study clarifies how melanoma cells use cell membrane protrusions called “blebs” to burrow through tissue.

The conjunctiva, a tissue that covers the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids, is partially responsible for the production of these tears.

Learn about conjunctival chemosis, what causes this swelling of the membrane that covers the eye, and how chemosis is treated.
