Background/aims: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of the systemic re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with dry eye symptoms after cataract surgery.
Methods:
Some reports have raised concerns regarding a potential risk of cataracts associated with statins. However, clinical and observational studies evaluating the risk led to conflicting results. We assessed whether lipid-lowering drugs (LLD) use is associated with an increased risk of cataract using the
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects on cataractogenesis of daily sc administration of the Ca2+ antagonist drug verapamil to diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were given verapamil half-way through the 8-week experimental period or during the full 8 weeks of
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate safety of medium-chain triglycerides used as a possible intraocular tamponading agent.
METHODS
A 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed in the right eye of 28 rabbits. An ophthalmologic examination was performed every week until rabbits were killed. At days 7, 30, 60, and
BACKGROUND
We attempted to illustrate connections between selected metabolic parameters and the inflammation course in patients after cataract operations.
METHODS
A prospective study comprised 64 patients aged between 35 and 88, 41 of them non-diabetics (group I) and 23 type II diabetics (group II).
Surgical Eye-camps for cataract treatment of low-income adult Mexicans have been undertaken over the last 10 years. Despite the high prevalence of cataracts among these subjects, no assessment of their nutritional or health status has ever been made. We compare the results obtained for 81 adults (44
OBJECTIVE
To explore the relationship of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with age-related cataract in a representative Korean population.
METHODS
We analyzed the data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2008-2010). A total of 11,076 adults (4,811 men
To prevent cataracts induced by glucocorticoids (GC) as a systemic disease, the suppression of oxidative stress caused by GC in the hepatic metabolism is of significant interest. In this study, to elucidate the formative mechanism of GC-induced cataracts, we examined the preventive effect and then
Diabetic cataracts are thought to be caused by hyperglycemia associated with disturbed glucose metabolism. Diabetes mellitus often involves abnormal lipid metabolism in addition to abnormal glucose metabolism. To date, however, very few studies have counted hyperlipidemia as a risk factor for
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence of cataract in the middle-aged urban population and the relation between cataract and metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome components.
METHODS
The survey was carried out in Kaunas City, Lithuania, from 2001 to 2002, according to WHO MONICA study protocol.
Dysfunction of the lens due to opacification is called cataract. Senile cataract is associated with old age. It is estimated that the need for cataract extractions would be diminished by half if onset of cataract would be delayed by only ten years. It thus appears crucial to have a better
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to identify the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic cataract (DC) in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients within the Russian Federation. Also, the stage of DR at the time of its identification and the proportion of new cases diagnosed with DR or DC
Diabetic cataracts are thought to be caused by hyperglycemia associated with disturbed glucose metabolism. Diabetes mellitus often involves abnormal lipid metabolism in addition to abnormal glucose metabolism. To date, however, very few studies have counted hyperlipidemia as a risk factor for
BACKGROUND
Light information is the most important cue of circadian rhythm which synchronizes biological rhythm with external environment. Circadian misalignment of biological rhythm and external environment is associated with increased risk of depression, insomnia, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular
To determine the possible role of glucose and lipid metabolism in the formation of cataract in elderly people we studied 463 patients undergoing cataract extraction. Of 188 males, 35 (19%) had posterior subcapsular cataract (group 1), 27 (14%) had cortical cataract (group 2), and 24 (13%) had
