BACKGROUND UVR comprises the shorter wavelengths, highest photon energy, of the part
of the spectrum that is classified as optical radiation. The spectrum of UVR extends between …

Human γD crystallin (HγD‐Crys), a major component of the human eye lens, is a 173‐
residue, primarily β‐sheet protein, associated with juvenile and mature‐onset cataracts. HγD …

Quenching of the fluorescence of buried tryptophans (Trps) is an important reporter of
protein conformation. Human γD-crystallin (HγD-Crys) is a very stable eye lens protein that …

In daylight, the human eye is exposed to long wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UVR), visible
radiation and short wavelength infrared radiation (IRR). Almost all the UVR and a fraction of …

Human γD-crystallin (HγD-Crys) is a two-domain, β-sheet eye lens protein found in the lens
nucleus. Its long-term solubility and stability are important to maintain lens transparency …

The purpose of this study was to investigate if topically applied caffeine protects against in
vivo ultraviolet radiation cataract and if so, to estimate the protection factor. Three …

The Sun is the most abundant source of optical radiation for the child eye. New hand-held
visible lasers are a threat to the child eye. Some scientific data suggest that near infrared …

purpose. To localize p53 protein and active caspase-3 in the albino rat lens and to compare
p53 mRNA and active caspase-3 expression in ultraviolet radiation (UVR) 300 nm exposed …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate cataractogenesis and recovery of lens
damage after in vivo close to threshold ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation around 300nm. Eighty six …

Purpose: To investigate whether unilateral in vivo UVR‐B exposure of one eye affects the
fellow eye in a co‐cataractogenic, sympathetic reaction and to determine whether an …
