Conclusions: Although the number of natural teeth was not associated with risk of POAG, recent tooth loss was associated with an increased risk of POAG. Because these findings may be due to chance, they need confirmation in larger studies.]]> Tue 03 Oct 2017 13:26:04 AEDT ]]> Risk factors for incident age-related macular degeneration: pooled findings from 3 continents https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1896 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:07 AEDT ]]> Anterior capsulotomy integrity after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18053 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:16 AEDT ]]> Genetic susceptibility, dietary antioxidants, and long-term incidence of age-related macular degeneration in two populations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21315 P = 0.0009) but nonsignificant interactions between genetic risk status and weekly fish consumption (P = 0.05) for risk of any AMD. Among participants with high genetic risk, the highest intake tertile of LZ was associated with a >20% reduced risk of early AMD, and weekly consumption of fish was associated with a 40% reduced risk of late AMD. No similar association was evident among participants with low genetic risk. No interaction was detected between ß-carotene or vitamin C and genetic risk status. Conclusions Protection against AMD from greater LZ and fish consumption in persons with high genetic risk based on 2 major AMD genes raises the possibility of personalized preventive interventions.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:47 AEDT ]]> Risk of age-related macular degeneration 3 years after cataract surgery: paired eye comparisons https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21191 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:34 AEDT ]]> Outdoor activity reduces the prevalence of myopia in children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5552 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:12 AEDT ]]> Aqueous chlorhexidine for intravitreal injection antisepsis: a case series and review of the literature https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29629 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:52 AEDT ]]> Genetic association of refractive error and axial length with 15q14 but not 15q25 in the Blue Mountains Eye Study Cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28445 −2 at rs685352 to 6.4x10−4 at rs560764, whereas association could not be confirmed for SNPs at the 15q25 locus, with P values ranging from 8.0x10−1 to 6.4x10−1. Ocular biometric analysis revealed that axial length was the most likely trait underlying the refractive error association at the 15q14 locus for SNPs rs560766 (P =0.0054), rs634990 (P =0.0086), and rs8032019 (P =0.0081). Conclusions: Our results confirm the association with refractive error at the 15q14 locus but do not support the association observed at the 15q25 locus. Axial length seemed to be a major parameter at the 15q14 locus, underscoring the importance of this locus in myopia and future clinical treatment.
