Prevalence and Pattern of Refractive Errors Among Yanomami Indigenous People in the Brazilian Amazon: A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Refractive errors are the leading cause of preventable visual impairment worldwide, yet data from isolated Indigenous populations remain virtually absent from the global literature. The Yanomami, one of the largest Indigenous peoples in the Americas with recent and limited contact with non‐Indigenous society, have no prior ...

Are Ocular Markers of Sun Exposure Associated With Skin Cancer? A Cross‐Sectional Analysis of the Busselton Healthy Ageing Study

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher past sun or ultraviolet radiation exposure increases the risk of skin cancer and three common ocular findings: pterygium, conjunctival ultraviolet autofluorescence (CUVAF) and myopia. We investigated whether ocular markers of past sun exposure are associated with a history of skin cancer.

Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Interventional human ocular safety experiments for 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C lamp irradiation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 517-526, March/April 2025.
To directly assess the ocular safety of 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C (UVC) irradiation in humans, five subjects were exposed to 222‐nm UVC at doses of 22, 50, and 75 mJ/cm2. The findings indicate that far‐UVC irradiation does not cause “clinically significant photokeratitis” or long‐term ocular damage, though it may induce temporary discomfort.

Human ocular‐discomfort‐free thresholds for 222 nm Far‐UVC irradiation: A prospective interventional study

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Eye discomfort induced by 222 nm far‐UVC irradiation is significantly correlated with both irradiance and radiant exposure dose. The red circles indicate conditions with significant differences in the number of eye discomfort compared to the control group (blue circles), while the green circles indicate conditions with no difference from the control ...
