Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been implicated as a primary cause of lesions in the anogenital region, skin, oropharynx and respiratory tract. Additionally, the role of HPV in the pathogenesis of ocular surface disease has also been extensively studied. Conjunctival papilloma development has been strongly associated with the HPV infection of certain subtypes. On the other hand, the role of HPV in conjunctival pterygium, conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) remains controversial. Genetic predisposition and environmental factor is important in HPV hosts as regards the pathogenesis of ocular surface disease. Several studies have indicate a synergic role of HPV with ultraviolet radiation in pterygium establishment. A higher recurrence risk rate and more aggressive disease of ophthalmic pterygium is observed in cases of HPV infection. The purpose of this review was to provide a systematic review of the literature and to assist in a better understanding of the role of HPV in ocular surface disease.

Background: The ocular surface is directly exposed to environmental influences. Noxae that have already been identified for the ocular surface are heat, air dryness, pollutant gases, fine dust particles and ultraviolet radiation.
Methods: The current literature was used to investigate the relationship between frequent ocular surface diseases and various environmental factors and to analyze their development over the years.

Purpose: Chronic jet lag (CJL) is known to disrupt circadian rhythms, which regulate various physiological processes, including ocular surface homeostasis. However, the specific effects of CJL on lacrimal gland function and the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood.
Methods: A CJL model was established using C57BL/6J mice.

Purpose: To visualize the behavior of perfluorohexyloctane (PFHO), an eye drop to treat dry eye disease (DED), on the surface of saline in vitro and on the human ocular surface using infrared emissivity.
Methods: Emissivity videos were used to measure the spreading and disappearance rates of PFHO on saline (with and without mucin for spreading rate) and layered over a 125 nm film of meibum on the surface of saline using a TearView camera. Ocular surface emissivity was videoed in a volunteer without DED before and after instillation of 1 drop of PFHO.
Orbicularis Oculi Transpalpebral Pedicle Flap for the Repair of Laminar Resorption Associated With Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) is a surgical procedure reserved for severe end-stage corneal blindness with a dry, keratinized ocular surface. Late resorption of bone has been described as a complication of this procedure. We present a novel surgical technique to repair laminar resorption associated with OOKP using transpalpebral split-pedicle orbicularis oculi flaps.
