The current understanding on the clinical efficacy of Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor for treating Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy is summarized to clarify whether the “off-label” ROCK-inhibitor eye-drop application are appropriate. ROCK-inhibitor eye drops may eventually be deemed a cutting-edge therapy for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy patients with acute corneal endothelial defect.

Corneal tissue importation is only possible if another country is able to export corneas without impacting its own domestic demand. Currently, there is little evidence to indicate whether export nations have such surplus capacity and in a position to export. To explore this concept, we examined our nation, Australia, which is reported to routinely decline donations because of its ability to meet domestic corneal transplant demand. Our research offers insights and opportunities for Australia and other nations to evaluate their domestic and international supply and allocation of corneal tissue in this space.

Traumatic corneal abrasion (TCA) causes damage to both corneal epithelium and the underlying hemidesmosomal junctions. Delayed recovery of hemidesmosomal junctions causes symptomatic episodes. However, there is no recommended treatment for recovery of hemidesmosomal junctions, indicating that a blank period exists in TCA treatment. In this study, the efficacy of long-term use of sodium hyaluronate on recovery of hemidesmosomal junctions during the blank period in TCA healing was investigated.
