Experimental Simulation of Aphakia.
نویسنده
چکیده
WITH a correctly fitting pair of approximately -14 D. corneal contact lenses, a person with normal emmetropic eyes can become a 12 D. experimental hyperope, and he can very nearly simulate the exact type of vision of the spectacle-corrected aphakic by wearing a correctly fitted set of + 12-00 D. Sph. cataract spectacle lenses. With this "simulator of aphakia", the inquisitive scientific researcher in aphakia can answer the following questions for himself:

Abnormal accumulation of sulphated materials in lens tissue of mice with the aphakia mutation.
Sulphated materials were tested for in the eyes of late gestational and postnatal normal mice and mice with the aphakia mutation using Spicer's high iron diamine staining method. Qualitative identification of these materials was attempted with bovine testicular hyaluronidase and nitrous acid digestion methods. The grossly abnormal morphology of the aphakia lens made it necessary to confirm iden...
متن کاملNeonatal aphakia is associated with altered levels of dopamine metabolites in the non-human primate retina.
Neonatal aphakia is associated with retardation of the axial elongation of the neonatal eye. In contrast, form deprivation increases axial elongation, an effect that has been associated with decreased retinal dopamine metabolism. The present investigation was conducted to test the hypothesis that neonatal aphakia induces an effect on the levels of retinal dopamine opposite to form deprivation. ...

UNLABELLED Abstract PURPOSE We present the clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic features in a patient with secondary congenital aphakia. METHODS A 2-year-old patient, diagnosed with congenital rubella syndrome including sensorineural deafness, congenital heart disease, intellectual disability, microcephaly, microphthalmia, and congenital cataract, presented to our clinic for the surgical ...
متن کاملLens complementation system for the genetic analysis of growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in vivo.
A genetic approach has been established that combines the advantages of blastocyst complementation with the experimental attributes of the developing lens for the functional analysis of genes governing cellular proliferation, terminal differentiation, and apoptosis. This lens complementation system (LCS) makes use of a mutant mouse strain, aphakia (ak), homozygotes of which fail to develop an o...
متن کاملA mutation in the FOXE3 gene causes congenital primary aphakia in an autosomal recessive consanguineous Pakistani family
PURPOSE Aphakia is the complete absence of any lens in the eye, either due to surgical removal of the lens as a result of a perforating wound or ulcer, or due to a congenital anomaly. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the molecular genetics for a large consanguineous Pakistani family with a clear aphakia phenotype. METHODS The initial homozygosity screening of the family was extended...
