Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Lens Diseases:

1.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)FDA Link 06/24/2023 - "αB-crystallin, a significant protein found in the lens, plays a crucial role in our understanding of lens diseases. " 06/24/2023 - "Mutations in the αB-crystallin protein can cause lens diseases, such as cataracts and myopathy. "
2.	Peptide Hydrolases (Proteases)FDA Link 03/01/2006 - "Here, a broad overview is provided of the recent literature pertaining to the involvement of proteases in various aspects of eye development and disease: lens development (focusing on apoptosis and lens fiber cell denucleation and organelle loss) and cataract progression, cornea development and disease, retina development and degeneration, sclera development and myopia, and the trabecular meshwork and glaucoma. "
3.	GoldIBA 07/01/1978 - "This finding is compatible with the absence of clinical gold-related lens disease or visual impairment."

5.	Capsules (Microcapsules)IBA 02/01/2009 - "This review covers the development and structure of the lens capsule, lens diseases associated with mutations in extracellular matrix genes and the role of the capsule in lens function including those proposed for visual accommodation, selective permeability to infectious agents, and cell signaling."

Therapies and Procedures

1.

11/01/2019 - "T1 and T2-mapping techniques may be effective diagnostic methods for early lens disease, which can detect abnormal changes earlier than slit lamp examination."
11/01/2019 - "This technique can find abnormal changes earlier than slit lamp, and may be effective diagnostic methods for early lens disease. "
05/01/2003 - "The distinct digital images of lens cortical opacity, posterior subcapsular opacity and other lens diseases were obtained with CT-S computer digital photography, which images were much better than slit lamp sectional digital images. "
