Intraocular reflectance of the ocular fundus and its impact on increased retinal hazard
2022, Zeitschrift fur Medizinische PhysikCitation Excerpt :The surgeon should be aware that the pigmentation of the eye should have an influence on the duration of the operation. In previous studies, for example, it was shown that the risk of developing senile macular degeneration [53–55], as well as an increased risk for uveal melanoma [56–58], is higher for people with light irises than for darkly pigmented people. Therefore, when illuminating the eye, it is important to consider its pigmentation so that the limits are not exceeded.
Chromosome 3 and 8q Aberrations in Uveal Melanoma Show Greater Impact on Survival in Patients with Light Iris versus Dark Iris Color
2022, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Iris color is an important predisposing factor in the development of UM. This was already recognized in the 1980s37 and later confirmed in larger population-based studies.12,15,38–40 People from African or Asian heritage (with darker iris colors) have a low incidence of UM, and we see a south-to-north increase of UM in Europe, which corresponds to increasing incidences of light iris color.41
Uveal Melanoma UK National Guidelines
2015, European Journal of CancerCitation Excerpt :The age at presentation peaks at approximately 60 years, except for iris melanomas, which usually present at a younger age [5,18]. Risk factors for uveal melanoma include light-coloured irides [15], congenital ocular melanocytosis [19], melanocytoma [14] and neurofibromatosis [19]. The role of sunlight is uncertain [20].
