Does [ Schleimpflug photography detect alterations in corneal density and thickness in patients with dry eye disease ]?
The results of this study indicate that corneal morphology is subject to significant alterations in patients with dry eye disease. Scheimpflug photography provides not only unique information in lens trials but is also able to detect changes of corneal anatomy. However, further investigations with other anterior segment imaging techniques, such spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT/Pentacam®) are necessary to further evaluate the clinical consequences of these findings.
Our results implicated a role for FAK in oral carcinogenesis. Inhibition of FAK might be a potential novel treatment strategy in this disease.
