Self-esteem of optometric patients was shown to be affected by when eyeglasses were first prescribed but not by the length of time they had been worn. Glasses have more negative effects on self-esteem when first prescribed during childhood or adulthood than during adolescence. Children may be more likely than adolescents to internalize negative social reactions evoked by glasses, whereas adults who obtain glasses may be reacting negatively to evidence of aging and physical decline.

Sweat contains a broad range of important biomarkers, which may be beneficial for acquiring non-invasive biochemical information on human health status. Therefore, highly selective and sensitive electrochemical nanosensors for the non-invasive detection of sweat metabolites have turned into a flourishing contender in the frontier of disease diagnosis. A large surface area, excellent electrocatalytic behavior and conductive properties make nanomaterials promising sensor materials for target-specific detection.

This study aimed to identify adolescent self-image in the face of a society forged by perfect image-body standards, understanding the influence of social relationships and the media in constructing their identities. This is qualitative research based on Oral History involving 13 male and female and adolescents aged 15-19, students from a public school in Minas Gerais. We employed interviews with a semi-structured roadmap to collect data, which were later interpreted by thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how wearing contact lenses affects the self-concept of adolescents over a month, using a modified self-concept scale to analyze results.* -
- In the trial, 21 adolescents, average age 16.5, were prescribed daily disposable contact lenses and reported high satisfaction (95%) despite experiencing dissatisfaction with spectacles prior to the trial.* -
- While some self-concept scores improved slightly, these changes were statistically insignificant, suggesting that contact lenses may still be beneficial for adolescents despite no major short-term self-concept gains.*
Few studies investigated the effects of facial characteristics on stereotyping in the business context. Using a 2 (beard/no beard) x 2 (acne/no acne) x 2 (tie/no tie) x 2 (eyeglasses/no eyeglasses) between subjects' design, two representative samples of 364 and 711 participants rated different stimuli of male subjects on dimensions of competence, warmth and hireability. Based on 4,215 observations, results show acne has a negative and eyeglasses a positive effect on both competence and warmth.
