April 2024 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata demonstrated reduced corneal sensitivity and increased corneal staining, and exhibited altered topographic and biomechanical eye parameters compared to controls, suggesting a possible increased risk of keratoconus and the necessity for regular ophthalmological exams.

September 2023 in “Curēus” This study reported that topical spironolactone improved lid margin vascularity, corneal fluorescein staining, and disease severity scores in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease, suggesting a potential therapeutic role by enhancing corneal lipid production with minimal adverse effects.

December 2024 in “Stem Cell Reports” In this study, researchers observed that low levels of fucose-binding lectin staining characterize limbal epithelial progenitor cells, which maintain a high proliferative capacity and may be enhanced by inhibiting fucosylation, offering insights for regenerative therapy of the limbal stem cell niche.
May 2013 in “Optometry and Vision Science” This research reports that partial orthokeratology combined with daytime spectacle correction effectively slowed myopic progression in high myopes, with a 63% reduction in axial elongation compared to spectacle use alone.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that with aging, mouse corneal renewal increasingly relies on Lrig1+ stem cells as CD44 expression and Wnt activity decline.
