Air pollution is inevitably the result of human civilization, industrialization, and globalization. It is composed of a mixture of gases and particles at harmful levels. Particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon dioxides (CO2) are mainly generated from vehicle emissions and fuel consumption and are the main materials causing outdoor air pollution. Exposure to polluted outdoor air has been proven to be harmful to human eyes. On the other hand, indoor air pollution from environmental tobacco smoking, heating, cooking, or poor indoor ventilation is also related to several eye diseases, including conjunctivitis, glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In the past 30 years, no updated review has provided an overview of the impact of air pollution on the eye. We reviewed reports on air pollution and eye diseases in the last three decades in the PubMed database, Medline databases, and Google Scholar and discussed the effect of various outdoor and indoor pollutants on human eyes.

ObjectivesThis umbrella review aims to summarise the evidence about electronic nicotine delivery systems’ (ENDS) risk and safety health profile to inform ENDS health communication strategies.Data sources and study selectionSix databases were searched for systematic reviews presenting evidence on ENDS-related health effects. Ninety reviews divided into five categories were included: toxicity=20, health effects=40, role in smoking cessation=24, role in transition to combustible cigarettes (CCs)=13 and industry marketing claims=4.Data extractionFindings were synthesised in narrative summaries. Meta-analyses were conducted by study type when appropriate. Quality assessment was conducted using the Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews. The Institute of Medicine’s Levels of Evidence Framework was used to classify the evidence into high-level, moderate, limited-suggestive and limited-not-conclusive.Data synthesisWe found high-level evidence that ENDS exposes users to toxic substances; increases the risk of respiratory disease; leads to nicotine dependence; causes serious injuries due to explosion or poisoning; increases smoking cessation in clinical trials but not in observational studies; increases CC initiation; and exposure to ENDS marketing increases its use/intention to use. Evidence was moderate for ENDS association with mental health and substance use, limited-suggestive for cardiovascular, and limited-not-conclusive for cancer, ear, ocular and oral diseases, and pregnancy outcomes.ConclusionsAs evidence is accumulating, ENDS communication can focus on high-level evidence on ENDS association with toxicity, nicotine addiction, respiratory disease, ENDS-specific harm (explosion, poisoning) and anti-ENDS industry sentiment. Direct comparison between the harm of CCs and ENDS should be avoided.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021241630.

“…Tobacco cigarettes and their contents are associated with inflammatory conditions, including uveitis [1,2]. The rise of electronic cigarette smoking over the past decade has led to the discovery of many adverse effects on ocular health [3]. These include disruption in tear film, choroidal blood flow and ocular saccadic rhythms.…”

Tobacco cigarette contents are associated with inflammatory conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting of electronic cigarette-induced panuveitis. A 41-year-old gentleman with no known comorbid presented with a two-day history of sudden blurring of vision in the left eye, associated with mild photophobia. He was well, with no similar episodes prior. Lifestyle inquiry revealed history of vaping daily for the past two years. Although vision was 6/9 in both eyes, left eye exhibited anterior chamber inflammation cells 2+, with spillover to anterior vitreous and macula oedema. Right eye examination was unremarkable.
