Article Synopsis
- This study investigates actinic conjunctivitis (AC) and its connection to actinic prurigo (AP) in Indigenous populations from Chiapas, Mexico, focusing on clinical manifestations and onset.* ! -
- Out of 2913 patients, only 54 (1.8%) were diagnosed with AC, predominantly affecting individuals around 36 years old, with the majority experiencing significant sun exposure and environmental factors like cooking with biomass fuels.* ! -
- Findings indicate that AC can manifest as the sole symptom of AP and often presents at advanced stages, with a notable link to exposure to farm animals, and previously unreported cases of evaporation dry eye disease associated with AC.* !
Purpose: Prostaglandin analogs (PGAs) are first-line treatments for ocular hypertension (OHT) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG). However, frequent side effects and high costs hinder patient's compliance resulting in disease progression. Evidence suggests selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) may be considered a first-line treatment for OHT and OAG due to its safety profile, minor side effects, and reduced costs.
