Partially sighted may be at higher risk of dementia


 E-Mail
Older people with vision loss are significantly more likely to suffer mild cognitive impairment, which can be a precursor to dementia, according to a new study published in the journal Ageing Clinical and Experimental Research.
The research by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) examined World Health Organisation data on more than 32,000 people and found that people with loss in both near and far vision were 1.7 times more likely to suffer from mild cognitive impairment.
People with impairment of their near vision were 1.3 times more likely to suffer from mild cognitive impairment than someone with no vision impairment.
However, people who reported only loss of their far vision did not appear to have an increased risk. ....

Study investigates the prevalence of eye disease in adults with Down syndrome


Study investigates the prevalence of eye disease in adults with Down syndrome
Drs. Dimitrios Karamichos and Melissa Petersen at The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, are teaming with DownSyndrome Achieves (DSA) Biobank in Ohio to find clues about Keratoconus Dystrophy.
Their research will help better identify individuals with Down syndrome who are at risk of the disease and whether this disease can be prevented with medicine.
Keratoconus is a complex, multifactorial, corneal disease that remains a mystery, in the context of its onset, rate of progression, and underlying pathobiology.

New light on glaucoma gene discoveries

Globally 78 million people have glaucoma. That is every one in 200 people aged 40, which rises to one in eight by age 80.
Most people with glaucoma are not aware of it as most glaucoma patients have zero symptoms.
Catch the disease early and you have a great chance of preserving your vision for the years to come.
Ahead of World Glaucoma Week (7-13 March 2021, #glaucomaweek), Australian researchers published the largest genetic study of glaucoma identifying 44 new genetic variants that may lead to new treatment targets.
Ten Australian institutions involving some of the country’s most prominent glaucoma researchers – including Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor Jamie Craig and Flinders University colleagues with the Australian and New Zealand Registry of Advanced Glaucoma (ANZRAG) consortium – were involved in the international effort which analysed genes in more than 34,000 people with glaucoma across multiple ancestries for the fi ....
