Water storage tanks promote colonization of domestic water with FLA, including Acanthamoeba, and hence increase the risk of AK. This accounts for the significantly greater incidence of AK in the UK and supports advice to avoid using tap water in contact lens care routines.
This software tool will facilitate the collection of large amounts of data on the routine use of treatments of neovascular age-related macular degeneration. This will allow us to analyze important potentially modifiable variables, such as the effect of different treatment patterns on visual outcomes, and to evaluate new treatments as they are introduced into practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
