Journal ArticleDOI
The association of microalbuminuria with diabetic retinopathy. The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy.
TL;DR: It is suggested that individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who have microalbuminuria may benefit from ophthalmologic follow-up as a marker for the risk of proliferative retinopathy developing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The NEI-VFQ-25 in People With Long-term Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy
TL;DR: The 25-item NEI-VFQ seems to be strongly associated with vision, independent of severity of retinopathy and other complications associated with type 1 diabetes, and may be a useful measure of health-related quality of life in epidemiological studies and clinical trials in persons with diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is There Evidence of an Estrogen Effect on Age-Related Lens Opacities?: The Beaver Dam Eye Study
TL;DR: These data are suggestive of a modest protective effect of estrogen exposure on the lenses of women, and may be possible in studies currently under way in which postmenopausal estrogens are being tested for other (protective) effects.
Journal Article
Blindness, visual impairment and the problem of uncorrected refractive error in a Mexican-American population: Proyecto VER.
Beatriz Munoz,Sheila K. West,Jorge Rodriguez,Rosario Sanchez,Aimee T. Broman,Robert W. Snyder,Ronald Klein +6 more
TL;DR: Visual loss in this Mexican-American population is higher than has been reported in whites and is comparable to that in African Americans, and it is suggested that education programs and interventions to improve access to eye care could significantly decrease the burden of visual loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of retinal vascular caliber: issues and alternatives to using the arteriole to venule ratio.
Gerald Liew,A. Richey Sharrett,Richard A. Kronmal,Ronald Klein,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Paul Mitchell,Annette Kifley,Jie Jin Wang +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest AVR provides less information with regards to predicting systemic outcomes than its two components, arteriolar and venular calibers, while modeling both simultaneously appears to provide unbiased, biologically plausible results.
