      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.

Forskningen har imidlertid bare i liten grad kunnet anvende sine eksperimen- telle oppsett på mennesker, men har benyttet seg av dyr som mus, rotter, minigriser og hunder, enkelte ganger i kombinasjon med in vitro ...

This type of dry eye is linked to the inflammation of the lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, and cornea, and is thought to involve dysfunction of the complex neuronal reflex arc that ...
