Background: Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) is a recurrent inflammatory disease of cornea primarily initiated by type I herpes simplex virus infection of corneal epithelium. However, early diagnosis of HSK remains challenging due to the lack of specific biomarkers. This study aims to identify biomarkers for HSK through tear metabolomics analysis between HSK and healthy individuals.

Purpose: Although mechanical injury to the cornea (e.g. chronic eye rubbing) is a known risk factor for keratoconus progression, how it contributes to loss of corneal integrity is not known.

Neurotrophic keratitis is a rare eye condition characterised by reduced or absent corneal sensation. This leads to impaired corneal healing through a loss of protective mechanisms such as blinking. The cornea becomes vulnerable to persistent epithelial defects, ulceration, infection and ultimately, vision loss or loss of the eye.

Maintaining the clarity of the cornea is crucial for optimal vision. Corneal scarring (CS), resulting from corneal inflammation, trauma, or surgery, can lead to a reduction in corneal transparency and visual impairment. While corneal transplantation is the primary method for restoring vision, the limited availability of corneal donor presents a significant challenge on a global scale.
