KeraKlear, invented by   Yichieh Shiuey, MD , Palo Alto, California. Since he was a resident, Dr. Shiuey said he wondered, "What if we could achieve the results of the Boston KPro without the complications and avoid the need for donor tissue?" Currently, there are limits to treating world corneal blindness, Dr. Shiuey said: lack of donor tissue, lack of trained   cornea transplant surgeons , lack of sterile operating rooms, and risk for severe complications. KeraKlear, he said, can address these issues. Seven millimetres in total diameter with a 4mm central optic, KeraKlear is implanted through a 3.5mm incision into an 8mm corneal pocket made by a femtosecond laser. It is an in-office surgery with a short learning curve with no need for combined glaucoma surgery, Dr. Shiuey said. The device is an FDA trials at four sites in patients at high risk for graft failure and aniridia keratopathy. Dr. Shiuey presented the result of a few individual cases. A patient with cornea

When people rub their eyes they are doing damage to the most important sensory organ in their body. The skin of the eyelids is the thinnest skin in the body. This skin does not do well with constant trauma. "Pigmentary changes (darkening of the skin) and loss of retro-orbital fat can lead to an unwanted facial appearance." Rubbing the eyes fractures mast cells, which resemble tiny raspberries, with each saccule containing the chemicals histamine, heparin, and serotonin. Histamine makes eyes itch, heparin makes the eyes red, and serotonin keeps the inflammation going. "The actual rubbing puts pressure on the eye sometimes up to 60mm Hg, which results in an immediate decrease of the itch response." "But minutes later it returns, often more intensely." Additionally, eye rubbing inflames the ocular surface, which can make any inflammatory ocular surface disease, such as dry eye, worse. Although the exact mechanism by which eye rubbing impacts   k

Retina  is like the film in a camera.  Retina  is the third and inner coat of the eye which is a light-sensitive layer of tissue. When the focused light hits the retina, a picture is created and sent to the brain through the optic nerve (the nerve of the eye), thus giving us vision. Sometimes part of the  retina  either tears, pulls away or detaches from the back of the eye; when this occurs that part of the retina cannot gather light ans results in vision loss.

Glare & sensitivity  to light especially during the  night. In the advanced stage of Keratoconus  corrective prescription  glasses do not help patient to see clearly & they have to switch to using  hard or semi-soft contact lenses.
