Topical Immuonosuppressant Drugs in Spring Catarrh
Vernal KeratoconjunctivitisSpring catarrh is a prevalent type of conjunctival allergic disorder in temperate countries. Topical steroids are the cornerstone management of spring catarrh beside other anti allergic drugs. However, prolonged use of topical steroids especqially in resistant spring catarrh carries risk of ocular side effects as 2nd glaucoma and cataract. We will investigate the safety and efficacy of topical immuonosuppressant in the management of resistant spring catarrh as an alternative to steroid therapy.

Goblet Cell Response and Dry Eye Symptoms After PRK and LASIK
Keratoconjunctivitis SiccaPurpose: To develop a screening metric by examining both the characteristics of the preoperative tear film and the intracellular signaling pathways of conjunctival goblet cells in order to determine if there are certain characteristics which might predict those patients who will experience serious dry eye symptoms and complications after refractive surgery. Research Design: This study is a twelve-month prospective non-randomized investigation. Methodology: In conjunction with psychometric questionnaires and various measures of tear film quality (e.g. Schirmer's test, tear break up time, etc), impression cytology will be used to assess the intracellular signaling pathways of conjunctival goblet cells and to determine if alterations in this pathway exist. Alterations in this pathway would result in a reduced response by the mucin secreting conjunctival goblet cells thereby promoting the development of dry eye after refractive surgery.
