The corneal limbus is the border of the cornea and the sclera (the white of the eye). The limbus is a common site for the occurrence of corneal epithelial neoplasm. The limbus contains radially-oriented fibrovascular ridges known as the palisades of Vogt that may harbour a stem cell population. The palisades of Vogt are more common in the superior and inferior quadrants around the eye. Aniridia, a developmental anomaly of the iris, disrupts the normal barrier of the cornea to the conjunctival epithelial cells at the limbus.
Method for determining the position of a flap cut on a cornea and of the hinge belonging to the flap, and device for carrying out a method of this type
A method and device are disclosed for determining the position of a flap incision on a cornea and the position of the hinge associated with the flap. The method comprises the steps of: capturing an image of an eye, including at least the pupil and the limbus; determining a region including the outer circumference of the flap incision; determining the position of the flap incision; determining a straight region including the hinge; and determining the position of the hinge.

Use of a norepinephrine inhibitor in the manufacture of a medicament for treating or alleviating a deficiency of corneal limbal stem cells
The application discloses application of a norepinephrine inhibitor in preparation of a medicine for treating or relieving corneal limbal stem cell deficiency, and belongs to the technical field of medicines.The experiment proves that sympathetic nerves are excessively activated in a mouse model of corneal limbal stem cell deficiency, and the release of norepinephrine is increased, and the experiment proves that 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride can destroy sympathetic nerves to inhibit the release of norepinephrine, and a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor can inhibit the synthesis of norepinephrine, and both can further relieve the symptoms of corneal limbal stem cell deficiency.The norepinephrine inhibitor can improve the corneal limbal microenvironment, reduce corneal neovascularization, reduce corneal epithelialization, enhance corneal transparency and relieve corneal edema, and provides a new direction and a new way for the pathogenic mechanism and intervention target of corneal limbal stem cell deficiency, and has a wide application prospect.
