    • Culture of Oral Mucosal Epithelial Cells for the Purpose of Treating Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency 

      Utheim, Tor Paaske; Utheim, Øygunn Aass; Khan, Qalbi; Sehic, Amer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-01)
      The cornea is critical for normal vision as it allows allowing light transmission to the retina. The corneal epithelium is renewed by limbal epithelial cells (LEC), which are located in the periphery of the cornea, the limbus. Damage or disease involving LEC may lead to various clinical presentations of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Both severe pain and blindness may result. Transplantation ...

    • Intraoperative swept-source OCT–based corneal topography for measurement and analysis of stromal surface after epithelial removal 

      Zhou, Wen; Reinstein, Dan Z.; Archer, Timothy J.; Chen, Xiangjun; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Feng, Yue; Stojanovic, Aleksandar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-01)
      <p>PURPOSE: To assess intraoperative stromal topography measurements using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT)–based topography/tomography after epithelial removal and to analyze the epithelial contribution to the corneal topography and optics. <p>METHODS: This was a prospective series of 22 eyes of 19 patients referred to receive phototherapeutic keratotomy (PTK) for treatment of ...
