Recurrent corneal erosion syndrome

Survey of Ophthalmology
Sujata Das, Berthold Seitz

Abstract

Recurrent corneal erosion syndrome is a chronic relapsing disease of the corneal epithelium characterized by repeated episodes of sudden onset of pain usually at night or upon first awakening, accompanied by redness, photophobia, and watering of the eyes. Individual episodes may vary in severity and duration. These symptoms are related to corneal deepithelialization in an area in which the epithelium is weakly adhered. It is a frustrating disorder for both the patient and the physician. In the majority of cases, the acute episode is managed by patching, and cycloplegic and topical antibiotic ointment, with prophylactic application of gels during daytime and ointment at night to prevent further erosion. In a minority of cases these measures are insufficient and may need alternative treatment modalities including therapeutic contact lens wear, anterior stromal puncture, superficial keratectomy, Nd:YAG, and most effectively, excimer laser therapy (phototherapeutic keratectomy).

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
