Abstract:
Background: The use of electronic cigarettes has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the impact that electronic cigarettes have on the ocular surface is not well known. Therefore, the aim of this review is to explore the current literature on the acute and chronic sequelae of electronic cigarettes on the ocular surface. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken by keyword searching on the Embase, Medline, and Web of Science databases. Articles identified through the search underwent title/abstract screening, full-text screening, and data extraction. Results: A total of 18 studies were included in this review. Non-intended ocular surface exposures and intended exposures on the ocular surface were found to be associated with the use of electronic cigarettes. Conclusions: The impact of vaping on the ocular surface is not benign. There are significant risks that vaping can pose to the ocular surface. Hence, it is necessary to develop appropriate risk communication tools given the increasing popularity of this activity. Additionally, future long-term studies are needed to better understand the long-term impacts of vaping on the ocular surface given the lack of current data.
摘要:
背景技术近年来,电子香烟的使用变得越来越流行。然而,电子烟对眼表的影响尚不为人所知。因此,本综述旨在探讨目前有关电子烟眼表急慢性后遗症的文献。方法:通过在Embase上进行关键词搜索,对文献进行系统回顾,Medline,和WebofScience数据库。通过搜索确定的文章经过标题/摘要筛选,全文筛选,和数据提取。结果:共有18项研究纳入本综述。发现非预期的眼表暴露和眼表上的预期暴露与电子烟的使用有关。结论:vaping对眼表的影响不是良性的。电子烟可能对眼表造成重大风险。因此,鉴于这项活动的日益普及,有必要开发适当的风险沟通工具。此外,鉴于当前数据的缺乏,未来的长期研究需要更好地了解电子烟对眼表的长期影响.
