Orthokeratology is defined as the use of custom designed (as per the patient’s needs) and fitted contact lenses that are used to improve vision. This is achieved by temporarily reshaping the patient’s cornea. Majority of these novel ortho-k lenses are worn at night, during the sleep cycle, to reshape the front surface of the eye. It is worth highlighting that the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has recently stated that ortho-k lenses are safe for use by patients be

Genotoxicity refers to the property of hazardous (physical, chemical and biological) agents to cause damage to genetic information present within a cell. It is worth mentioning that this damage can lead to formation of mutations, activation of mistimed event and direct DNA damage. Further, researchers have been able to link the mutations caused by genetic toxicology to various disease indications, including several oncological and genetic disorders. In addition, it is believed that the changes i

According to the National Health Council, nearly 40% of the adult population in the US is diagnosed with at least one chronic condition, such as diabetes, asthma, and hypertension. The annual cost burden associated with chronic diseases in the US is around USD 3.8 trillion. A major share of expenses incurred by patients living with a chronic disorder is driven by the frequent need to medicate, which may require repeated visits to hospitals / out-patient clinics. This has prompted stakeholders to
