Spatial frequency of environments and myopia: a systematic review on associated...
Li, Dan-Li; Lança, Carla; Zhang, Xiu-Juan; Grzybowski, Andrzej; He, Xian-Gui; Pan, Chen-WeiPurpose: Previous animal studies have found a relationship between spatial frequency and myopia. New research in humans suggests that reduced high spatial content of the visual environment may be a contributing factor to myopia development. This study aims to review the literature and elucidate the potential biological mechanisms linking spatial frequency and myopia. Methods: A systematic search was conducted a...
Will the new anti-myopia spectacles be the standard of care in future?
Lança, Carla; Pan, Chen-Wei; Grzybowski, AndrzejReports of myopia increases across the world show an expanding growing public health problem. Myopia prevalence is exceptionally high in some continents, especially in Asia, particularly East Asian countries, but was also reported to have increased in other continents, such as North America and Europe, although there is considerable variation between geographic areas and racial groups in the myopia burden. The ...
The impact of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium on risk of age-related macular de...
Dong, Xing-Xuan; Chen, Dong-Ling; Miao, Yi-Fan; Li, Dan-Lin; Kai, Jia-Yan; Hu, Dan-Ning; Zhang, Xiao-Feng; Lança, Carla; Andrzej, GrzybowskiBackground: The relationships between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and calcium and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the causal role of 25(OH)D concentrations, calcium concentrations, and dietary supplements use of vitamin D and calcium on the risk of AMD and its subtypes. Methods: Independent genetic variants associated with 25(OH)D and calcium con...
Association between ambient air pollution and dry eye symptoms among Chinese in...
Kai, Jia-Yan; Wu, Yi-Bo; Dong, Xing-Xuan; Miao, Yi-Fan; Li, Dan-Lin; Hu, Dan-Ning; Lança, Carla; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Pan, Chen-WeiPurpose: To examine the association between ambient air pollution and dry eye symptoms (DES) during the COVID-19 pandemic and explore whether air pollution had increased the risk of DES to a greater extent than other risk factors. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted from June 20, 2022 to August 31, 2022. The Ocular Surface Disease Index-6 (OSDI-6) questionnaire was used to assess the pres...
Association of sleep traits with myopia in children and adolescents: a meta-ana...
Dong, Xing-Xuan; Xie, Jia-Yu; Li, Dan-Lin; Dong, Yi; Zhang, Xiao-Feng; Lança, Carla; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Pan, Chen-WeiPurpose: The association between sleep and myopia in children and adolescents has been reported, yet it remains controversial and inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the influence of different sleep traits on the risk of myopia using meta-analytical and Mendelian randomization (MR) techniques. Methods: The literature search was performed on August 31, 2023, based on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and...
Association between pets and dry eye symptoms: a Chinese national-based study
Kai, Jia-Yan; Wu, Yi-Bo; Chen, Hui-Min; Hu, Dan-Ning; Lança, Carla; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Zhang, Lijun; Zhang, Xiao-Feng; Pan, Chen-WeiBackground: Pet-derived allergens are another source of indoor air pollution that could affect human health. However, the association between pet ownership and the risk of dry eye symptoms (DES) remains to be elucidated. Methods: We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional survey among Chinese residents aged over 12 years from June 20, 2022, to August 31, 2022. The Ocular Surface Disease Index-6 (OSDI-6) question...

Lower indoor spatial frequency increases the risk of myopia in children
Li, Dan-Lin; Dong, Xing-Xuan; Yang, Jin-Liu-Xing; Lança, Carla; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Pan, Chen-WeiBackground/aims: Animal models have shown that the absence of high-frequency visual information can precipitate the onset of myopia, but this relationship remains unclear in humans. This study aims to explore the association between the spatial frequency content of the visual environment and myopia in children. Methods: Images from the rooms of children and their frequently visited outdoor areas were taken by t...
