Purpose: Cataracts are often considered to be an unavoidable consequence of aging.
Oxidative damage is a major cause or consequence of cortical and nuclear cataracts, the …

Cataracts are one of the most prevalent diseases of the lens, affecting its transparency and
are the leading cause of reversible blindness in the world. The clarity of the lens is essential …

Although ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity is widespread among animals it is considered rare in
mammals, being restricted to the few species that have a visual pigment maximally sensitive …

We analyzed the literature on the absorption in the young and aging human eye media. Five
templates were derived to provide an adequate description of the spectra from 300 to 700 …

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) contribute to lens protein pigmentation and cross-
linking during aging and cataract formation. In vitro experiments have shown that ascorbate …

Routinely collected incidence data have often lacked specific identification of ocular
melanoma in the past and with increasing diagnosis and management of this disease by …

Previous studies examining sun exposure and ocular melanoma have produced
inconsistent results. We investigated this association in a population‐based case‐control …

that are related to the yellowing of lens protein. methods. The lenses of lower primates and …

Severe photoreceptor cell death in retinal degenerative diseases leads to partial or
complete blindness. Optogenetics is a promising strategy to treat blindness. The feasibility of …

PURPOSE Studies have linked exposure of high-energy visible blue light to effect and
damage on retinal epithelial cells, photoreceptors, and ganglion cells.“Blue light” is more …
