Mechanical Strain of Corneal Epithelium Influences the Expression of Genes Implicated in Keratoconus.

چکیده

Although mechanical injury to the cornea (e.g. chronic eye rubbing) is a known risk factor for keratoconus progression, how it contributes to loss of corneal integrity is not known. Here, we set out to determine how eye rubbing can influence keratoconus progression by exploring the expression of…
