Relation between a history of glaucoma and subjective happiness: the JPHC-Next study.
BMJ Open Ophthalmol
February 2024
Objective: This population-based, cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the relationship between a history of glaucoma and subjective happiness.
Methods And Analysis: We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of 92 397 Japanese men and women aged 40-74 who participated in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation study. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to estimate the ORs of glaucoma associated with subjective happiness and their two-sided 95% CIs.
This study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Ocular Pain Assessment Survey (OPAS-J) to measure ocular pain and quality of life. A multi-institutional cross-sectional study was conducted on participants with and without ocular pain. The Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale served as the gold standard for measuring the intensity of ocular pain.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey in 85,264 Japanese men and women aged 40 to 74 years who participated in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT Study). Dry eye disease was defined as the presence of severe symptoms or clinical diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effect of warming eye masks on tear function and mental health in a randomized trial with 86 participants aged 23-89.
- Participants were divided into a warm group using heated masks and a control group using non-heated masks for 10 minutes daily over two weeks.
- Results showed significant improvements in tear break-up time, corneal staining, and depression scores in the warm group, indicating benefits for both eye health and mental well-being.
Objective: We examined the production of prostaglandin E (PGE), which is the key prostaglandin involved in inflammatory disorders of the ocular surface. Tears and conjunctival fibroblasts were evaluated in order to assess allergic inflammation and the effect of specific drugs.
Methods And Analysis: PGE was measured in tears from both patients and normal volunteers.
