“…The results suggested that C-NAC may impart some protective ocular surface properties [195]. Another animal clinical trial indicated that C-NAC had a positive impact on corneal wound healing [196]. Retinol palmitate is known to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of corneal epithelial cells and preserved conjunctival goblet cells.…”

Dry eye disease (DED) has become common on a global scale in recent years. There is a wide prevalence of DED in different countries based on various ethnicities and environment. DED is a multifactorial ocular disorder. In addition to advanced age and gender, such factors as living at high altitude, smoking, pterygium, prolonged use of consumer electronics or overingesting of caffeine or multivitamins are considered to be the major risk factors of DED. We report the DED epidemiology in Taiwan firstly in this article. According to the pathophysiological factors and changes inthe composition of the tear film in DED, it can be categorized into several subtypes, including lipid anomaly dry eye, aqueous tear deficiency, allergic and toxic dry eye among others. Each subtype has its own cause and disease management; therefore, it is important for ophthalmologists to identify the type through literature review and investigation. The management of DED, relies not only on traditional medications such as artificial tears, gels and ointments, but also newer treatment options such as acupuncture, SYL1001, and nanomedicine therapy. We also conducted a comprehensive literature review including common subtypes and treatment of DED. Clearly, more clinical trials are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of the various treatments and common subtypes of DED.

This chapter focuses on the eye, one of the most important organs of humans. Current data on pathophysiology of the human eye are presented in direct correlation with a range of therapeutic products, with a well-known and widely used material, namely chitosan. Applications of chitosan biopolymer are described in the development of innovative, modern, therapeutic devices and solutions. Thus, chitosan is a good excipient either for classic drop-type ocular systems, as well as for complex drug systems such as nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanomicelles and nanosuspensions), liposomes, microemulsions, microspheres, in situ hydrogels and inserts or implants. A number of disadvantages for ocular administration of the drugs are thus overcome.

Das Gleiche gilt für präklinische korneale Wundheilungsstudien zur Beurteilung der Wirkung von epithelisierungsfördernden Substanzen [37]. Des Weiteren können durch die hoch aufgelöste Bildgebung in der Hornhaut Fälle von rezidivierenden Hornhauterosionen, z.…”

ZusammenfassungDie optische Kohärenztomografie (OCT) hat seit ihrer Einführung für die retinale Bildgebung in den 90er-Jahren eine rasante Entwicklung genommen und die Ophthalmologie revolutioniert. Während sie zu Beginn nur zur Untersuchung der Retina zum Einsatz kam, wurden in der Zwischenzeit auch zahlreiche Systeme zur Beurteilung des vorderen Augenabschnitts entwickelt. Basierend auf der Detektion und Verarbeitung des vom Gewebe zurückreflektierten und gestreuten Lichts, eröffnete sie dem Ophthalmologen völlig neue Möglichkeiten zur Untersuchung der Strukturen des vorderen Augenabschnitts. Je nach technischer Umsetzung erlauben OCT-Systeme für den vorderen Augenabschnitt die präzise Vermessung einzelner Schichten der Kornea und des Kammerwinkels oder – in Form von ultrahoch auflösender OCT – die detailreiche Darstellung der Hornhautmorphologie mit nahezu histologischer Auflösung. Letztere könnte durch weitere technische Entwicklungen vor allem hinsichtlich der Erhöhung der Aufnahmegeschwindigkeit zu einem wesentlichen Werkzeug in der Differenzialdiagnose und Verlaufsbeobachtung verschiedenster Erkrankungen der Hornhaut werden, das auch neue Einsichten in die Pathophysiologie dieser Erkrankungen liefert.
