Occurrence and prognosis of nonpenetrating injuries in eyes with Verisyse iris-supported phakic intraocular lens.

We report 8 cases of blunt trauma in patients with a Verisyse phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (AMO). Two cases resulted in dislocation of the pIOL that required repositioning; the other 6 were managed conservatively. In all cases, the outcomes were satisfactory, with no further complications.

Chemistry, distribution, and metabolism of tomato carotenoids and their impact on human health.

Recent epidemiological studies have suggested that the consumption of tomatoes and tomato-based food products reduce the risk of prostate cancer in humans. This protective effect has been attributed to carotenoids, which are one of the major classes of phytochemicals in this fruit. The most abundant carotenoid in tomato is lycopene, followed by phytoene, phytofluene, zeta-carotene, gamma-carotene, beta-carotene, neurosporene, and lutein.
