Journal ArticleDOI
Gene delivery to the eye using adeno-associated viral vectors.
TL;DR: The selection of an appropriate AAV vector for ocular gene transfer studies is described and the techniques used to deliver the virus to the eye and to assess ocular transfection are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal vessel diameters and obesity: A population-based study in older persons
Jie Jin Wang,B. Taylor,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Brian Chua,Elena Rochtchina,Ronald Klein,Paul Mitchell +7 more
TL;DR: Obesity is linked with large vessel atherosclerosis and diabetes, and its association with microvascular changes is less clear, but associations among retinal vessel diameters, vessel wall signs, and BMI in an older population are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten-Year Incidence of Age-related Maculopathy and Smoking and Drinking The Beaver Dam Eye Study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined associations between smoking and alcohol consumption and the long-term incidence of age-related maculopathy in people in the Beaver Dam Eye Study who were aged 43-86 years (n = 3,684) in 1988-1990 and examined over a 10-year period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal Microvascular Abnormalities and Risk of Lacunar Stroke Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Hiroshi Yatsuya,Hiroshi Yatsuya,Aaron R. Folsom,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,A. Richey Sharrett +7 more
TL;DR: A narrower central retinal arteriole equivalent, wider centralretinal venule equivalent, focal arteriolar narrowing, and arteriovenous nicking were predictive of lacunar stroke.
Journal Article
Changes in Refraction over 10 Years in an Adult Population: The Beaver Dam Eye Study
TL;DR: Significant changes in spherical equivalent in adults occur over a 10-year period, which may explain the refractive patterns observed in cross-sectional studies.
