Aim: To evaluate the overall endophthalmitis incidence and the effectiveness of potential prophylaxis measures following phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS).
Methods: The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to April 30, 2021. We included studies that reported on the incidence of endophthalmitis following PCS.
Aim: To explore the susceptible association between the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and age-related cataract (ARC), and investigate the underlying mechanisms in human lens epithelium (HLE) cells.
Methods: Totally 1190 unrelated participants, comprising 690 ARC patients and 500 healthy individuals in Han Chinese population were recruited and genotyped for target SNP. The -test was used to detect genotypic distribution between the patient and control groups and the logistic regression was performed to adjust the age and gender.
