Accommodative Ability in Pre-presbyopic Diabetic Patients
Introduction: To compare various accommodative parameters in prepresbyopic diabetic patients with age-matched healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: Study population consisted of 32 younger-onset diabetic patients (30-40 years of age) and 28 age-matched healthy normal individuals. Using the best correction for distance visual acuity (20.20 by Snellen chart), multiple accommodative ability ...
متن کاملLens fluorescence and accommodative amplitude in pre-presbyopic and presbyopic subjects.
Accommodative amplitude (AA; the difference, measured in diopters, between the near and far points of vision) declines steadily with age such that, by midlife, most individuals are unable to focus clearly on near objects and, thus, are said to be presbyopic. Conversely, intrinsic lens fluorescence (LF) increases steadily with age. Previous studies have suggested that AA and LF are negatively co...
متن کاملReduced Serum Homocysteine Levels in Diabetic Patients
Background and Objectives: Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent form of diabetes mellitus and is associated with a variety of complications. Homocysteine is an important independent risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases in both diabetic and non diabetic subjects. The association between these two is still unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the serum homocysteine levels in uncompli...
متن کاملAccommodation measurements in a prepresbyopic and presbyopic population.
PURPOSE To study the efficacy of several subjective and objective methods of accommodation measurement in normal prepresbyopic and presbyopic populations to identify appropriate methods for measuring the outcome of accommodative restorative procedures. SETTING University of Houston, College of Optometry, Houston, Texas, USA. METHODS Thirty-one normal subjects with a mean age of 43.7 years (...
متن کاملEvaluation of Amplitude of Accommodation in a Presbyopic Patient Undergoing Stimulation of Sizhukong Acupuncture Point (TH23) – Case Report
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com but Helmholtz’s hypothesis [5,6] is one of the most accepted theories that try to explain it. According to the Helmholtz ́s model, the contraction of the ciliary muscle would allow relaxation of crystalline capsule, which, by elastic contraction, would deform the lens, increasing its thickness and, therefore, the optical power. When the ciliary muscl...
