Ophtalmology
Over the years, one study after another failed to prove we reduced the incidence of AMD by blocking blue light.Today the bibliography of articles on the subject is long and extensive. So here’smy conclusion:
• We acted out of prudence.That’s a good thing.
• There isn’t a tangible difference in the incidence of AMD when blocking blue light. After 2.5 million implants.
• The only reason for a blue blocking lens was reduction of AMD. There is no other clinical reason.
• Prudence has given way to evidence that patient vision and lifestyle are being compromised.

African Americans May Have Less Risk for
Developing Macular Degeneration
BALTIMORE, February 2008 — African Americans may have less risk of developing advanced macular degeneration (AMD) than Caucasians, according to recent findings by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine scientists.
Early signs of AMD include formation of yellowish spots (drusen) in the inner back of the eye (retina), where vision processing occurs. In a study involving 2,520 participants of average ages of 73.5 years, researchers found that larger drusen and those closer to the eye's center were more likely to occur in Caucasians than in African Americans.
Study authors concluded that more Caucasians than African Americans were likely to develop advanced and potentially blinding forms of macular degeneration. Researchers said more research is needed to determine why African Americans are less likely to have significant degenerative changes associated with AMD, such as those that occur in central portions of the retina.
Cheers,
Karina ;)

: En realidad podría tratarse de DM aguda, avanzada o relacionada con la edad. Mejor investigar con el cliente o tratar de deducirlo por el contexto. Saludos ;)
