A recent review article investigated the importance of hyaluronic acid chain lengths in eye drops for the physical as well as physiological performance of the drops. The classification according to average molecular weight was proposed: LMW HA (low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: < 1.5 MDa), MMW HA (medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid: 1.5 – 2.3 … Continue reading Hylan A supports the growth of corneal nerves in patients suffering from severe dry eye disease

Glaucoma: current status of neuroprotective strategies
The retina is processing the optical image of our environment within the eye. Retinal ganglion cells (RGC) are the output cells which transport through their axons the results of the image processing from the retina to the brain. These cells are not able to regenerate after optic nerve injury, resulting in permanent visual loss. In … Continue reading Glaucoma: current status of neuroprotective strategies
