Age‐related maculopathy and the impact of blue light hazard
Tập 84 Số 1 - Trang 4-15 - 2006
Abstract. The pathogenesis of age‐related maculopathy (ARM), the most common
cause of visual loss after the age of 60 years, is indeed a complicated scenario
that involves a variety of hereditary and environmental factors. The
pathological cellular and molecular events underlying retinal photochemical
light damage, including photoreceptor apoptosis, have been analysed in
experimental animal models...
Visual improvement with corticosteroid therapy in giant cell arteritis. Report of a large study and review of literature
Tập 80 Số 4 - Trang 355-367 - 2002
ABSTRACT.Objectives: (1) To report the incidence and extent of visual
improvement achieved by high‐dose systemic corticosteroid treatment in eyes with
visual loss due to giant‐cell arteritis (GCA). (2) To understand the cause of
the discrepancies between visual improvement revealed by routine visual acuity
(VA) and by the central visual field in kinetic perimetry. (3) To review
critically the con...
Exfoliation (pseudoexfoliation) syndrome: toward a new understanding
Tập 79 Số 2 - Trang 213-217 - 2001
ABSTRACT.Exfoliation (pseudoexfoliation; PEX) syndrome is the single most common
identifiable cause of open‐angle glaucoma, however, very few investigators are
engaged in basic research on this disease. To stimulate the field, the First
International Think Tank on Exfoliation Syndrome was held in New York in July
1999, comprising clinicians and scientists. This report is a summary of the
proceedin...
An intervention trial on efficacy of atropine and multi‐focal glasses in controlling myopic progression
Tập 79 Số 3 - Trang 233-236 - 2001
ABSTRACT. Purpose: This randomized clinical trial assessed the treatment effects
of atropine and/or multi‐focal lenses in decreasing the progression rate of
myopia in children.Methods: Two hundred and twenty‐seven schoolchildren with
myopia, aged from 6 to 13 years, who were stratified based on gender, age and
the initial amount of myopia were randomly assigned to three treatment groups:
0.5% atro...
Incidence and prevalence of keratoconus in Denmark
Tập 85 Số 8 - Trang 890-892 - 2007
Abstract.Purpose: To estimate the prevalence and incidence of hospitalized
keratoconus (KC) in Denmark.Methods: Data extracts from the National Patient
Registry under the National Board of Health (which covers the entire Danish
population) were analysed.Results: The prevalence of KC was estimated at 86
patients per 100 000 residents and the incidence at 1.3 per 100 000 per
year.Conclusion: KC ...
The prevalence of retinopathy in an unselected population of type 2 diabetes patients from Århus County, Denmark
Tập 82 Số 4 - Trang 443-448 - 2004
Abstract.Purpose: To determine the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and the
causes of visual impairment in an unselected population of type 2 diabetes
patients, and to describe the risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy
in this population. Methods: A total of 10 851 type 2 diabetes patients were
identified in the county of Århus. A representative sample of 378 patients
underwent a ro...
Negative social bias against children with strabismus
Tập 81 Số 2 - Trang 138-142 - 2003
Abstract.Purpose: To determine whether the presence of noticeable strabismus
creates a negative social bias against children.Methods: Photographs of two
boys and two girls were digitally altered to create photographs of the same
child in orthotropic, esotropic and exotropic states. Elementary school teachers
rated their perceptions of the children's personal characteristics (using a
10‐item list...
Exfoliation syndrome: Frequency, gender distribution and association with climatically induced alterations of the cornea and conjunctiva
Tập 80 Số 5 - Trang 478-484 - 2002
ABSTRACT.Purpose: To investigate exfoliation syndrome (ES) in order to elucidate
gender distribution and the roles of genetic and climatic factors in its
manifestation.Material and Methods: We studied the gender distribution of ES and
the association between ES and the appearance of certain climatically induced
disorders (pterygium, climatic droplet keratopathy) and the size of pingueculae
in popu...
Comparison between GDx VCC scanning laser polarimetry and Stratus OCT optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis of chronic glaucoma
Tập 84 Số 5 - Trang 650-655 - 2006
Abstract.Purpose: To compare the abilities of scanning laser polarimetry with
the variable corneal compensator (GDx VCC) with those of optical coherence
tomography (Stratus OCT) in discriminating between healthy and early‐to‐moderate
perimetric glaucomatous eyes.Methods: A total of 95 glaucomatous patients (mean
deviation − 3.7 ± 3.0 dB, pattern standard deviation 4.5 ± 2.7 dB) and 62
control su...
