Oxygen‐derived free radicals are normally generated in many pathways. These radicals can
interact with various cellular components and induce cell injury. When free radicals exceed …

The eye and the skin are protected by a multi-layered epithelial barrier that provides the first
line of defence against invading pathogens and environmental stresses such as damaging …

Purpose We investigated associations between ocular ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure
dose and cataract opacities among Han people living in China and Taiwan, to assess the …

Background We aimed to investigate the relation between sunlight exposure and risk of
cataract. Methods We carried out a frequency-matched case-control study of 343 cases and …

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common type of refractive error and is characterized
by a mismatch between the optical power and ocular axial length. Light, and more …

Purpose.: To determine the protection factor (PF) for glutaredoxin-1 (Grx1) with regard to
UVR-induced cataract by comparison of in vivo ultraviolet radiation (UVR) lens toxicity …

Welding is associated with several ocular and systemic hazards especially where adequate
protective measures are not taken. The purpose of this project was to study the eye …

Abstract Calbindin‑D28K (Calb1) may protect human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) from
apoptosis, which is a process resulting in individual cell death. The protective effects of …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the in vivo dose response function for
UVR 300nm-induced cataract in the C57BL/6J mouse lens and to establish a cataract …

Background The human lens is continuously exposed to high levels of light. Ultraviolet
radiation is believed to play a causative role in the development of cataract. In vivo …
