OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the study was to measure contact lens lipid spoliation of silicone hydrogel PureVision (balafilcon A) and hydrogel Acuvue 2 (etafilcon A) contact lenses worn for 10 hours single use (DD) and 7 days of extended wear (EW).
METHODS
Two similar study populations (DD, n = 55; EW,
OBJECTIVE
To determine the characteristics and prevalence of lenticular opacification in patients with underlying dyslipidaemia.
METHODS
Eighty patients of both genders and all ages (18-90 years) were enrolled in the trial if they met the inclusion criteria for dyslipidaemia. Patients were included
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether serum lipid/lipoprotein levels are independent risk factors for nuclear, cortical, or posterior subcapsular (PSC) cataracts.
METHODS
Case-control study nested in a cohort study.
METHODS
Eye examinations were conducted on surviving members of the Framingham Offspring
The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of lens opacities among type 2 diabetics in Kinmen, Taiwan. A community-based mass screening ascertained 971 type 2 diabetics from 1991 to 1993. From that population, a total of 578 (59.5%) patients with type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND
Previously, we reported improvements in sleep quality and gait speed after implantation of a yellow-colored, blue light-blocking intra-ocular lens (IOL). This study evaluated systemic health parameters for 7 months after cataract surgery with implantation of a clear, ultraviolet
To compare the incidence of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for cataracts between people with and without type 2 diabetes and to determine associated risk factors in those with type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Participants with type 2
The lens has high concentrations of glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid (AsA) to maintain redox activity and prevent cataract formation, which is the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. Metabolic syndrome is reported to be linked with a higher risk of age-associated cataract. As it was
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between lens opacity, vascular and lipid factors and retrobulbar blood flow parameters in type-1 diabetic (DM) adolescents.
METHODS
Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TCH), high- and low-density cholesterol,
To evaluate skin biocompatibility of a nighttime hydrating eyelid gel and possible ocular surface effects in contact lens users (CLU) and non-contact lens users (NCLU). The formulation is registered as a medical device as Tridocosahexaenoine-AOX® (TDHA-AOX) (a concentrated DHA The experiments were carried out on 21 rabbits, divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 10 control animals, the second one consisted of 11 animals given per os 3 times per week for 3 months 1 ml of water solution of cadmium chloride in the dose of 0.35 mg for 1 kilogram of body weight.
OBJECTIVE
Mature interleukin 18 (IL-18) leads to the production of interferon-γ, nuclear factor kappa B, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and we previously reported that the enhancement of IL-18 in lens of hereditary cataract model rats was involved in lens opacification. In this study, we
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of lentils on serum glucose and serum lipid levels in diabetic rats. Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, 12 weeks of age weighing 220-290g, were used. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin at a level of 35 mg/kg intra-peritoneally. The animals
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate safety of medium-chain triglycerides used as a possible intraocular tamponading agent.
METHODS
A 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed in the right eye of 28 rabbits. An ophthalmologic examination was performed every week until rabbits were killed. At days 7, 30, 60, and
