Corneal and retinal effects of ultraviolet-B exposure in a soft contact lens mouse model.
PURPOSE To investigate the lipid and DNA oxidative stress as well as corneal and retinal effects after ultraviolet B (UV-B) exposure in mice, with or without silicon hydrogel soft contact lenses (SCL). METHODS Twenty-eight C57BL6-strain male mice were divided into four groups: group I, control group with no SCL (SCL [-]) and no UV-B exposure (UV-B [-]); group II, senofilcon A SCL (senofilcon ...
متن کاملSunlight exposure and risk of lens opacities in a population-based study.
CONTEXT Exposure to UV-B radiation in sunlight has been shown to increase the risk of cataract formation in high-risk occupational groups, but risk to the population has not been quantified. OBJECTIVES To determine the ocular exposure to UV-B radiation in sunlight for a population of older persons and to determine the association between UV-B and lens opacities. DESIGN The Salisbury Eye Eva...
متن کاملOcular hypertonia and crystalline lens opacities in healthcare workers exposed to ionising radiation.
Some activities performed by healthcare workers may still involve total or partial exposure to ionising radiation exceeding the limit values. In addition to the appearance of crystalline lens opacities which may lead to rays-cataract, recent studies have indicated possible induction of ocular hypertonia in occupationally exposed subjects. The aim of this study was to establish the actual preval...
متن کاملMixed lens opacities and subsequent mortality.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have found an association between cataract or lens opacity and increased risk of mortality. Further work on determining explanatory factors for this association is needed. OBJECTIVES To determine, in a population-based cohort of older persons, the 2-year risk of death associated with different types of lens opacities; whether an association of mortality and lens op...
متن کاملNuclear lens opacities and visual acuity.
I am writing to you concerning the article entitled "Use of Photographic Techniques to Grade Nuclear Cataracts" by Sheila K. West, Grank Rosenthal, Henry S. Newland, and Hugh R. Taylor that appeared in the January 1988 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. The study, performed by Dr. West and her coworkers, reports on the grading of nuclear lens opacities by clinical means, a...
