Effect of cigarette smoking on aqueous humor dynamics in 70 normal males and 70 primary glaucoma patients was studied. A rise of intraocular tension of more than 5 mm after last puff of cigarette was taken as a positive result. It was observed that this test was positive in 37.1% of primary glaucoma
OBJECTIVE
Smoking is a serious public health problem worldwide. Some authors refer to it as the "silent epidemic of the 20th century." It constitutes an important risk factor for ocular pathologies such as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), diabetic retinopathy, and neuropathy because the
The purpose of the paper is to assess the development of research in the area of tobacco-related ocular diseases during the last 200 years. Although the first papers about the toxic effect of tobacco on the eye appeared in the beginnings of the XVIIth century, the real interest in this issue arose
Cigarette smoking is associated with glaucoma. Nicotine from cigarette smoking is known to produce hemodynamic changes. We studied the effect of nicotine on the ophthalmic artery flow velocity using transcranial Doppler ultrasound to measure noninvasively the Peak (systolic) flow velocity (VP),
It is accepted that tobacco smoking impairs different functions of the organ of vision and can be the cause of different eye diseases. It is well-known that tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 substances, some of them exerting toxic influence on the eye by producing the ischemia or/and oxidative
Time course of eyeball temperature in response to smoking of a cigarette was studied in healthy smoking male volunteers aged 19 to 28 (24 men, 48 eyes). Before smoking the mean temperature in the limbic area of the eye was 31.7 +/- 0.1 degree C (the reference age-specific value is 32 +/- 0.02 degree
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the epidemiologic evidence for a causal association between tobacco smoking and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
METHODS
Systematic review, including quality assessment, of published analytical epidemiologic studies and evaluation of the evidence using established causality
We used a technique to simplify and speed up a perimetric test (Westheimer function). Through sequential testing, the technique was successfully used to evaluate pathologic findings and partially to evaluate treatment regimens in three subjects. One patient had an onset of kinetic field changes and
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether cardiovascular risk factors distribution differ between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and control subjects. To assess the strength of this association in POAG. To analyze the most frequent pathology in this group of patients for a better selection of medical
The term "luxury foodstuffs" refers to foods which are not consumed because of their nutritional value. Classic modern luxury foodstuffs are alcohol, caffeine-containing drinks, cocoa, sugar and tobacco. The following review article examines some of these modern luxury foodstuffs in detail, as well
The present study aimed to investigate the association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). We conducted a case-control study that included 90 patients with POAG and 127 healthy controls whose blood samples were genotyped for the
OBJECTIVE
To undertake a systematic review of the literature on the effect of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and eye disease.
METHODS
Medline (1950-January Week 2 2007), EMBASE (1980 to 2007 Week 07), SCOPUS and Science Direct were searched on ETS exposure and eye disease using various
