Oral administration of antigen in the treatment of eye disease
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 1997-09)Comment on the Oral administration of antigen in the treatment of eye disease -
Influence of advanced recipient and donor age on the outcome of corneal transplantation. Australian Corneal Graft Registry.
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 1997-10)AIMS: The aims of this study were to examine the influence of advanced recipient and donor age on the long term outcome of corneal transplantation. METHODS: Records of 1036 penetrating corneal grafts in recipients aged > ... -
A simple corneal perfusion chamber for drug penetration and toxicity studies
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2001-04)AIMS: Corneal perfusion chambers are important tools in the development and assessment of ophthalmic drugs. The aim of this study was to design and test a modified perfusion chamber suitable for topical application of drugs ... -
Investigation of crystallin genes in familial cataract, and report of two disease associated mutations.
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2004-01)AIMS: Mutations of seven crystallin genes have been shown to cause familial cataract. The authors aimed to identify disease causing crystallin mutations in paediatric cataract families from south eastern Australia. METHODS: ... -
Late onset post-keratoplasty astigmatism in patients with keratoconus
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2004-03)AIM: 10 eyes of 10 patients are reported where progression of keratoconus in the host cornea occurred more than 10 years after penetrating keratoplasty with resultant increase in astigmatism. The technique and results of ... -
Contrast and glare testing in keratoconus and after penetratin keratoplasty
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2004-05)AIM: To compare the performance of keratoconus, penetrating keratoplasty (PK), and control subjects on clinical tests of contrast and glare vision, to determine whether differences in vision were independent of visual ... -
The impact of corneal allograft rejection on the long-term outcome of corneal transplantation
(2005)To examine the influence of corneal allograft rejection on the survival of penetrating corneal transplantation, to review the status of conventional therapies to improve graft survival, and to consider prospects for ... -
In vitro adenovirus mediated gene transfer to the human cornea
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2005-06)BACKGROUND/AIMS: Replication deficient adenovirus is an efficient vector for gene transfer to the cornea. The aim was to optimise the transduction of human corneal endothelium with adenoviral vectors and to measure transgene ... -
The telomere of human chromosome 1p contains at least two independent autosomal dominant congenital cataract genes.
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2005-07)AIMS: Multiple genetic causes of congenital cataract have been identified, both as a component of syndromes and in families that present with isolated congenital cataract. Linkage analysis was used to map the genetic locus ... -
Influence of format on in vitro penetration of antibody fragments through porcine cornea
(BMJ Publishing Group - http://bjo.bmjjournals.com/, 2005-09)AIM: Antibody fragments, appropriately formulated, can penetrate through the ocular surface and thus have potential as therapeutic agents. The aim was to investigate the influence of protein fragment format on the kinetics ... -
The Australian Corneal Graft Registry 2004 annual report
(2006-06-20)The Australian Corneal Graft Registry (ACGR) opened in May 1985 and has now been in operation for 18 years. In that time, we have collected data on over 14,000 corneal grafts. At the time of transplantation, we seek ... -
The Australian Corneal Graft Registry 2007 Report
(Flinders University Press, 2007)The Australian Corneal Graft Registry opened in May 1985 and thus has now been in operation for over 22 years. The census date for this report was 01/09/2006. Over the years, we have collected data on more than 18,500 ... -
Repeatability of corneal first-surface wavefront aberrations measured with Pentacam corneal topography [Post print]
(Elsevier, 2008-05)PURPOSE: To assess the repeatability of corneal wavefront aberrations derived from Pentacam (Oculus) corneal topography. SETTING: Flinders Eye Centre, Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, South Australia, Australia. ... -
Optic neuritis - more than a loss of vision
(Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, 2009)Optic neuritis (ON) is the presence of an acute inflammation of the optic nerve that results in painful loss of vision. It is the most commonly encountered optic neuropathy in general practice, and is often associated ... -
Rejection and acceptance of corneal allografts
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2009)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Corneal transplantation is successful in the short-term, but the long-term prognosis has not improved over the past 20 years. Here, we review recent findings that may contribute to improved corneal ...
