SH Byeon:“We can measure choroidal thickness with OCT quite easily but this is a specialist tool. However, detecting pachydrusen with a fundus exam or fundus photography can provide early indications. Even without OCT, we can predict choroidal thickness in our patients"#APVRS2018

Dr G Jaffe from DUEC: "We thought we could deliver just small molecules but it turns out that the holy grail of protein delivery, for example, s something we can do using genetically engineered cells acting as protein factories releasing drugs over long periods of time"#APVRS2018

Dr Moroi: "We know that with hyperglycemia it is increased in the tears, as well as the aqueous humor. I believe the mechanism for increased thickening in the cornea is that the collagen in the cornea gets glycosylated by the glucose, and that causes thickening of the cornea"#AAO
