Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. MetS affects over one‐third of US adults. Beyond its cardiovascular burden, MetS has clinically relevant associations with ocular health and may contribute to a systemic vascular and neuro‐metabolic phenotype involving the retina,

The positive correlation between the progressive photoreceptor damage and the increased macular leakage indicating the severity of diabetic retinopathy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
The dark area of photoreceptor cells, as measured by adaptive optics laser scanning ophthalmoscopy, shows significant enlargement with the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). A similar trend is observed for macular vascular leakage assessed by fundus fluorescein angiography. A positive correlation exists between these two parameters, suggesting a

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.
