The appearance of hyper-reflective superficial epithelial cells observed using in vivo confocal microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)Purpose: Hyper-reflective superficial cells were an unexpected finding while examining the corneal epithelium using confocal microscopy (CM), during an MSc thesis conducted in 2006 at the University of Waterloo, Canada. ... -
Aspects of Dynamic Anterior Surface Aberrations
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-07)Introduction: The measurement of tear film stability/regularity is very critical in the diagnosis of dry eye. The tear breakup time, which is used as a diagnostic tool in diagnosing dry eye, is very subjective in nature ... -
Extended Latanoprost Release from Commercial Contact Lenses: In Vitro Studies Using Corneal Models
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-09)In this study, we compared, for the first time, the release of a 432 kDa prostaglandin analogue drug, Latanoprost, from commercially available contact lenses using in vitro models with corneal epithelial cells. Conventional ... -
Ocular Surface Sensory Processing and Signal Detection Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-28)Purpose: The main aim of the experiments in this thesis is to evaluate the feasibility of using signal detection theory (SDT) to determine the detectability and bias of various ocular surface pneumatic stimuli. Chapter ... -
The TFOS International Workshop on Contact Lens Discomfort: Report of the Contact Lens Interactions With the Ocular Surface and Adnexa Subcommittee
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2013-10-18)The report of this subcommittee concerns the impact of contact lenses (CLs) on the ocular surface, with a particular emphasis on CL discomfort (CLD). We define the ocular surface, its regional anatomy, and the physiological ...
