From Presbyopia to Cataracts: A Critical Review on Dysfunctional Lens Syndrome
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018 Dysfunctional lens syndrome (DLS) is a term coined to describe the natural aging changes in the crystalline lens. Different alterations in the refractive properties and transparency of the lens are produced during the development of presbyopia and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Preclinical cataract masquerading as post-LASIK regression
Oman Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016 The purpose of this case report is to bring forth a rare clinical scenario where preclinical cataract mimics post-LASIK regression and to describe the role of aberrometry in detecting higher order aberrations (HOAs) and early lens changes.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.GALK1 acts as a protein kinase beyond the phosphorylation of galactose. GALK1 phosphorylates TIMM13 at Y73 in the cytoplasm. This phosphorylation prevents premature oxidative folding of TIMM13 and ensures its entrance into the intermembrane space of mitochondrion, positively regulating mitochondrial respiration.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Influence of intraocular lens subsurface nanoglistenings on functional visual acuity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 To investigate the influence of intraocular lens subsurface nanoglistenings (SSNGs) on functional visual acuity (FVA), thirty-nine eyes of 29 patients were examined in this study.

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy primarily caused by haploinsufficiency of the SCN1A gene, which encodes the alpha subunit of NaV1.1 voltage‐gated sodium channel. The disease manifests with febrile and spontaneous seizures, developmental delay, cognitive impairment, and increased risk of sudden ...

Corneal and lens densitometry after corneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus
Journal of the Egyptian Ophthalmological Society, 2014 Purpose The study aimed at investigating retrospectively the values of corneal and lens densitometry using the Pentacam Scheimpflug system after corneal cross-linking (CXL). Materials and methods This study included 50 eyes of 50 patients who had undergone CXL for keratoconus.

Evaluation of corneal and lens density changes after cross-linking in keratoconus
Delta Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019 Background Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is an important modality for keratoconus therapy. Lens and corneal density are reported to change in keratoconus and with CXL. However, these changes are not well studied.
