Does modern disposable hydrogel contact lens removal have a minimal effect on intraocular pressure?
There was a slight statistically significant increase in IOP following contact lens removal, with a maximum duration of 3 min. Given the small magnitude of the change in IOP, and its transient nature, there appears to be no clinical reason to delay IOP measurements following the removal of modern disposable hydrogel contact lenses.
No significant difference of AAF variance was found between high-income and very low income countries relating to sex-specific alcohol consumption per capita. Alcohol consumption per capita was greater in high-income countries. Type of preferred alcohol did not correlate with AAF. ALD related mortality was less in high-income countries as a result of better developed healthcare systems. ALD remains a significant burden globally, requiring prevention from socioeconomic, medical, and political realms.
