Background To investigate the relationship between blepharitis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) by using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) of Taiwan. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted using data collected from the LHID for the period from 2009 to 2013. This study enrolled patients who received a diagnosis of blepharitis according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, diagnostic code. The exclusion criteria were legal blindness, eyeball…

Statin Use Is Associated With a Lower Risk of Blepharitis: A Population-Based Study
TLDR
Statin use can decrease the risk of developing blepharitis, however, further prospective studies are needed to evaluate statin treatment for various subtypes of ble pharitis and to identify the associated mechanism.

Risk factors for the occurrence of visual-threatening posterior capsule opacification
TLDR
The DED, glaucoma, AMD, hyperlipidemia and peptic ulcer disease may serve as the risk factor for the developing of visual-threatening PCO and adjusted odds ratio (OR) of each demographic data and co-morbidities to the development ofVisual- threatening PCO develop within 1 year postoperatively.
Ocular Surface Diseases in Patients With Diabetes
TLDR
The incidence of dry eyes was found to be higher when patients had uncontrolled diabetes and diabetes for a longer period and a statistically significant correlation was found between the severity of dry eye and TBUT, TFMH values, and grades of corneal staining.
The association between metabolic risk factors, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and the incidence of liver cancer: a nationwide population-based cohort study
TLDR
It is emphasized that metabolic dysfunction has a significant impact on hepatocarcinogenesis in patients with NAFLD and coexisting multiple metabolic risk factors would dampen the risk of developing HCC in patientsWith NAFLS, closely tracing HCC formation through laboratory examination or imaging is crucial in these patients.
Current views on metabolic syndrome.
TLDR
The theory of metabolic syndrome originated 30 years ago and was described to what is known as systemic inflammation arising in adipose tissue and inflammatory diseases such as chronic bronchitis or psoriasis.

TLDR
The present Meta-analysis suggests that all metabolic risk factors except obesity were risk factors for dry eye syndrome, and people with hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia had a higher risk of suffering from DES.

TLDR
The prevalence of high triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels increases with the increasing severity of MGD, which might highlight the significance of monitoring fasting serum lipids due to its association with the potential correlation with the progression ofMGD.

TLDR
Dry eye is often overlooked in this context and no study has investigated whether tear secretion decreases in MetS, a complex disorder defined by a cluster of interconnected factors that increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.
