..For patients demonstrating a profile of 'recurrence', it may be necessary to manage as a poorer prognostic case and perhaps, more adjunctive treatment after resection of the primary lesion...

..e. of posterior cornea and crystalline lens) did vary significantly with refractive error and race. Our results do not provide any evidence for aberration-driven form-deprivation as a major mechanism of myopia development...

..To determine the central cornea thickness (CCT) in Singaporean children and to examine the possible relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and other biometric factors and CCT...

..A secondary aim is to estimate the best cutoff values for the detection of refractive errors using these two methods...

..To study the prevalence, associated factors and impact of symptomatic dry eye in an Asian population...

..To report the prevalence rates of anisometropia in a school population and determine the relative contribution of refractive power and axial length to the measured anisometropia...

..This study demonstrated that iTRAQ technology combined with 2D-nanoLC-nanoESI-MS/MS quantitative proteomics is a powerful tool for biomarker discovery...

..We aimed to study the presence of PLD subtypes in native ocular surface tissue and pterygium...

..These findings facilitate better understanding of the meibomian gland's contribution to multifactorial dry eye syndrome, apart from routine conventional tests performed in clinics...

..The aim of this study was to assess the effect on myopia progression after cessation of topical atropine treatment...

..To describe the prevalence and the risk factors of undercorrected refractive error in an adult urban Malay population...

....

..To determine corneal biomechanical parameters measured with the Reichert Ocular Response Analyser (ORA) in Singaporean children, and to assess their possible correlations with refractive error and biometry...

..To examine the optimal cutoff point for the use of the visual acuity test to screen for refractive errors in schoolchildren...

..The purpose of this study was to examine the agreement in anterior chamber length and lens thickness measurements between A-scan ultrasonography and Scheimpflug photography...

..To examine the baseline retina and optic disk characteristics in children...

..To determine the incidence and progression rates of myopia in young Singaporean children...

....

..To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical atropine, a nonselective muscarinic antagonist, in slowing the progression of myopia and ocular axial elongation in Asian children...

..CONCLUSIONS: Transglutaminase enzymatic activity is involved in corneal epithelial cell death after UVB and appears to participate in two steps regulating this process, clustering of TNF receptor-I and caspase-3 activation...

....

..We perform a study to assess the association of the optical components of the eye contributing to the degree of myopia by building a statistical model which can better assess the individual effects of each optical component...
