Jul 23rd, 2021 - Cataract is a leading cause of blindness and vision impairment globally. Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed operations worldwide, but good quality services are not universally available. This scoping review aims to summarise ...

Jul 17th, 2021 - Ephrin (Eph) receptor A2 (EPHA2) polymorphism has been associated with age-related cataract (ARC) in different populations worldwide, but the mechanisms by which this polymorphism results in the development of ARC are unclear. Here, we chose four ...

Jun 8th, 2021 - Cataract is the leading cause of visual impairment globally. Racemization of lens proteins may contribute to cataract formation in aging individuals. As a special type of age-related cataract (ARC), diabetic cataract (DC) is characterized by the e...

Jun 5th, 2021 - Assumptions are made about the genetic model of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) when choosing a traditional genetic encoding: additive, dominant, and recessive. Furthermore, SNPs across the genome are unlikely to demonstrate identical genet...

May 20th, 2021 - Age-related cataract (ARC) is a primary cause of visual blindness worldwide. Lens epithelial cell (LEC) apoptosis, in which Fas plays an essential role, is a vital cytological basis for cataractogenesis. However, the regulatory mechanism of Fas-de...

Jul 24th, 2018 - This is a prospective, non-randomized, unmasked pilot study. SETTING: Storm Eye Institute, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC and one additional site in USA. SUBJECTS A total of 40 eyes (20 per site) of 20 subjects of both sexes ...

Mar 29th, 2018 - The investigational device is an approved femtosecond laser (FSL) device with an integrated imaging system to perform certain steps of the cataract procedure. The FSL will perform anterior capsulotomy and lens fragmentation in individuals sufferin...

Jan 1st, 2016 - Cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation are the current standard treatments for age-related cataract (ARC). Cataract surgery increases visual acuity but may lead to complaints after surgery. Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs...

Sep 14th, 2015 - Title: Corneal changes in diabetics after phacoemulsification Introduction: Cataract is one of the common cause of reversible blindness. In diabetics, Age-related cataract occurs earlier and nuclear cataract is more common and tends to progress ra...

Dec 29th, 2017 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – In people with primary epiretinal membrane (ERM), cataract surgery can lead to improvement in visual acuity but higher rates of cystoid macular edema, researchers say. “Cataract surgery for age-related cataract is the m...

Mar 20th, 2015 - High levels of total and long-term physical activity, as well as specific types of physical activity, may decrease the risk for age-related cataract later in life, researchers report in an article published in the February issue of Ophthalmology. ...
