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 ...
29 Gradings of severity were assigned on a 5-step scale, and the presence of nuclear cataract was defined as level 4 or level 5. Anterior and posterior retroillumination photographs of the lens were obtained (Neitz CRT; Neitz Instruments Co, Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) and graded ...
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...
The cumulative incidence of nuclear cataract in right eyes increased from 2.9% in persons aged 43 to 54 years at baseline to 40.0% in those aged 75 years or older. For cortical and posterior subcapsular cataract, the corresponding values were 1.9% and 21.8% and 1.4% and 7.3%, respectively....
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...
29 Lutein and zeaxanthin have the capacity to filter short-wavelength light associated both with photochemical damage and the generation of reactive oxygen species that attack cellular lipids, proteins, and nuclear material7; these carotenoids also have the capacity to reduce the potency of nascent ...
The same mechanism also occurs in the lens epithelial cells of cataract patients, which eventually cause the loss of lens epithelial cell viability and death [22]. Moreover, increased expression of p16 was identified in pancreatic β-cells from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), in...
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 ...
