Watch "Vision Through Our Eyes"
a documentary by Nathan Liu featuring first-hand accounts of living with a visual impairment.
Upon wounding of the epithelium, the epithelial cells must somehow cover and repopulate the wound site and restore its barrier function.
Question: I have read that many soldiers have LASIK surgery (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) on their eyes before going to combat zones in the middle east, and that some develop severe dry eye syndrome after they are deployed. Is there something that can prevent the complications for these servicemen and women?
