Age-related nuclear cataract is a major cause of blindness. It is characterised by opacification and colouration in the centre of the lens and is accompanied by extensive protein oxidation. The reason for the onset of nuclear cataract is not known, but it is proposed here that the underlying ...
Age-related cataract (ARC) is among the most common blinding eye disorders among the elderly. Prenatal nutrition may cause irreversible damage to the development of the ocular crystalline lens. Nevertheless, the potential association between prenatal malnutrition and age-related cataract has not been th...
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship of age-related maculopathy, cataract, glaucoma, visual impairment, and diabetic retinopathy to survival during a
Objective To estimate the incidence of nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular cataract in the Beaver Dam Eye Study cohort.Design A population-based study of the prevalence of age-related eye diseases was conducted between 1988 and 1990 (n=4926), and a follow-up study was conducted between...
Eye (1990) 4, 813-818 Second Eye Involvement in Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Four-Year Prospective Study MONIQUE ROY and MURIEL KAISER-KUPFER Bethesda, Maryland Summary Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) usually affects both eyes over time. Among patients with advanced AMD in one eye...
RESULTS. Higher prevalence was found for both late and early ARM in eyes with cataract or a past history of cataract surgery. However, after adjusting for age, sex and other ARM risk factors, no consistent association was found between presence of cortical, nuclear or posterior subcapsular (PSC...
Participants, materials, and methods Study population The objective of the POLA study was to examine age-related eye diseases(cataract and ARMD) and their risk factors. The methods of this study have already been published elsewhere.13 The following criteria were necessary for inclusion: (1) being...
The gradual aging of the global population has led to a surge in age-related diseases, which seriously threaten human health. Researchers are dedicated to understanding and coping with the complexities of aging, constantly uncovering the substances and mechanism related to aging like chronic low-grade...
Healthy volunteers were aged matched (±2 to AMD patients) with BCVA of 20/40 or better in both eyes, and a comprehensive eye examination within previous 12 months revealing no diagnosis other than refractive error, mild cataract, dry eye, or AREDS grade 1. AREDS grading criteria for grade ...
