Aim: To investigate the significance of ultrasound elastography for evaluating stiffness of the human lens nucleus in volunteers with different ages.
Methods: A total of 90 volunteers (lens transparency, uncorrected visual acuity ≥0.5, intraocular pressure: 14-19 mm Hg) were divided into 3 groups according to age: Group A (30 people, median age: 82±3.
Aim: To investigate the significance of ultrasound elastography for evaluating stiffness of the human lens nucleus in patients with anisometropia.
Methods: A total of 14 patients (28 eyes) with anisometropia were enrolled. The difference in refractive status between two eyes ≥-4.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare lens oxidative damage in rabbits caused by vitrectomy and/or hyperoxia.
- Sixteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups, with one group undergoing vitrectomy and hyperoxia treatment, while the other served as untreated controls.
- Results showed no major morphological lens changes, but vitrectomy and hyperoxia significantly reduced protective compounds and increased oxidative stress markers, suggesting that the intact vitreous gel helps protect the lens from oxidative damage.
