Using histochemical method (PAS reaction) and semi quantitative method on the alkaline burned corneal tissue, the Author observed Laser He-Ne inhibits the reducing of glycogen store of the corneal epithelium cells burned alkaline solution. Quantity of glycogen store on the corneal epithelium cells treated by laser He-Ne are much more than the control's every stage of regeneration process. Laser He-Ne increase indirectly the quantity of the glycogen store by reducing inflammation in situ and increasing needs of cell proliferation

A first male patient with age of 30 in Vietnam had typical clinical symptoms and histopathological features of the primary gelatinous Drop-like dystrophy. This was the first time the research on the genetic mutation affirmed the hereditary of the disease. The combination of surgery with the open amniotic transplantation was new method of the treatment.

This is to emphasize the important role of surgical consideration of the epiblepharop or ectropion as the supplemental method, in adequate treatment of the corneal involvement especially for the corneal ulcer. The author has felt that the surgical correction of the intumed or intuming tendency of the margin of the lower-lid has been much more effective to cure the corneal ulcers which prevalently seen in lower portion of the cornea. This is confirmed through his 4D years clinical experiences.

We have investigated the therapeutic effectiveness of T-lens(Soflens(R)) in 105 patients(110 eyes) with various corneal diseases. The results are as follows: 1. Cornea diseases, which revealed the good therapeutic effectiveness, are ccrneal perforation, postoperative uses, corneal ulcer, corneal erosion, and corneal edema. 2. Corneal disease, which revealed the rapid therapeutic effectiveness, is corneal edema. 3. Corneal diseases, which revealed no response, are neuroparalytic keratitis and radiation keratitis.

Author has performed 5 cases of conjunctival flap for the viral deratitis. 1) Histologically, there were many methods for the viral diseases of the cornea. However, the results were not so satisfactory. 2) Author experienced the prevention of corneal perforation by this method. 3) The result was very satisfectory.

Corneal blindness is a preventable disease among Filipinos.Review of hospital data from the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Philippine General hospital and the Ophthalmic Pathology Section, Institute of Ophthalmology, University of the Philippines Manila showed the following: 1.Corneal diseases is the third most common cause ; 2.Inflammation is the leading cause of corneal diseases up to now; 3.Regraft/failed PKP is the 3rd indication for corneal transplant;and 4.Corneal blindness accounted for 94/578 enucleation cases

Keratic precipitates are deposits of material on the posterior surface of the cornea, which is a relatively common phenomenon in a variety of circumstances both physiological and pathological. Inflammatory cells and uveal pigment in the aqueous show a strong tendency to adhere to one another and to the corneal endothelium, thus forming fine or large deposits. We observed the several kinds of keratic precipitates on the corneal endothelium by flat preoparation method. The character of the keratic precipitates observed in this study was composed of inflammatory cells, erythrocyte, pigment granules derived from the breakdown of red blood cells. In view of the accumulation of the pigment granules into the cytoplasm, it seemed that the endothelium might participate in phagocytosis or secondary changes in the various corneal disease.

PURPOSE: This study analyzed the efficacy of Scion Image(R)program, the measurement of area of cornea lesion in the process of corneal diseases. METHODS: Photographs were processed digitally from three corneal wound lesions, and the Adobe Photoshop(R) and Scion Image(R) were used to calculate the area. These measured automatically the area of the damaged corneal lesion in numerical values, allowing precise calculation of the ratio of the wounded area to the entire cornea. RESULTS: In the first case of corneal abrasion by contact lenses, we were able to measure the ratio of the lesion, improving from 45% to 9% after two days of treatment. In the second case of the typical corneal ulcer, the infected area was 23.6% of the cornea before treatment, and decreased to 14.5% after treatment. In the third case of the ring shaped corneal ulcer, we were able to measure the lesion accurately using the Scion Image(R) CONCLUSIONS: The Scion Image(R)program may be used for the measurement of corneal surface lesion. It seemed to allow objective and accurate measurement.
