Are Periocular and Systemic Allergy Conditions Risk Factors for Pterygium?
Semin Ophthalmol
November 2023
Department of Ophthalmology, Soroka University Medical Center, Beer Sheva, Israel.
Purpose: To evaluate risk factors for pterygium and prevalence of periocular and systemic diseases among patients with pterygium.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted among members of Clalit Health Services (CHS) in Israel, from 2001 to 2022. A total of 13,944 patients diagnosed with pterygium were included.
Evaluation of dry eyes in children with vernal kerato-conjunctivitis using clinical tests and ocular surface analysis.
Indian J Ophthalmol
April 2023
Department of Cornea and Anterior Segment Services, Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Purpose: To evaluate dry eyes in children with vernal kerato-conjunctivitis (VKC) and correlate it with symptoms, clinical findings, and ocular surface analysis (OSA) parameters.
Methods: Children with clinically diagnosed VKC underwent complete ophthalmological examination, Schirmer's testing, modified ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scoring, Bonini grading, fluorescein tear-film break-up time (TBUT), VKC - Collaborative Longitudinal Evaluation of Keratoconus (CLEK) scoring, and OSA. Children with a TBUT of < 10 s were defined to have dry eyes.
MicroRNA Profiling of the Tears of Children With Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis.
Front Genet
April 2022
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Malaysia.
Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic conjunctival inflammatory condition that typically affects children. Extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules, the expression of which is reported to regulate cellular processes implicated in several eye diseases. The aim of this preliminary study is to identify the miRNA expression profile in the tears of children with VKC controls, and to statistically evaluate these miRNAs as potential diagnostic biomarkers of VKC.
