Use of a porcine urinary bladder acellular matrix appears to be effective in the surgical management of deep corneal ulcers and feline corneal sequestra.
SD-OCT examination of normal and pathological corneal conditions in dogs and cats gave an accurate evaluation of each component of the cornea. The advantage of the technique is the in vivo, real-time evaluation of all corneal layers with the absence of corneal contact. Constraints included the necessity of sedation for precise focus and the low quality of images obtained with too pigmented or thickened corneas.
Accelerated CXL appears to be a valuable option for the treatment of melting keratitis in cats. All the cases have reached a satisfactory outcome despite the individual differences in the conditions prior to the CXL treatment and the variable presence of infectious agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
