Purpose: To compare the central corneal epithelial thickness (CET), stromal thickness (CST), and total thickness (CCT) in males with and without primary open-angle glaucoma and to determine the factors associated with corneal thickness. Methods: A case–control study was conducted to evaluate 116 male patients at...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of the BinoVision home system as measured by improvement of visual acuity in the patient’s amblyopic eye. Methods An open-label prospective pilot-trial of the system was conducted with amblyopic children aged 4-8 years at...

Achromatopsia is a complex inherited retinal disease that affects the cone cell function. It is usually an autosomal-recessive disease and is characterized by pendular nystagmus, poor visual acuity, lack of color vision, and marked photophobia. CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C, PDE6H,...

Abstract Background Although the benefits of vision screening seem intuitive, the value of such programmes in junior and senior schools has been questioned. In addition there exists a lack of clarity regarding the optimum age for screening and frequency at...

Abstract Background Refrigerated eye-drops have been advocated in cases of ocular allergies to provide a soothing effect upon instillation. This notion continues to be promoted by practitioners for artificial tears (AT) in the management of dry eye (DE) with little...

Amblyopia is a common cause of reduced vision in children. The clinical diagnosis is complicated and requires consideration of the severity of vision loss relative to the characteristics of the disrupting amblyogenic factor. Added to the challenge of a thorough...

Abstract Background Despite evidence that amblyopia can often be treated by optical treatment alone, many practitioners still do not use an optical-correction-only phase in amblyopia treatment and some investigators omit this important step in their research. This paper aims to...

Key Points Question  How do tear film stability measurements obtained with an automated noninvasive keratograph corneal topographer compare with the conventional fluorescein method? Findings  In an investigator-masked randomized crossover trial of 74 participants, fluorescein breakup time measurements were shorter and more narrowly...

Abstract Background This study sought to determine normative static and dynamic pupillometry data in different age groups in a healthy population, and to investigate the effects of age on pupillometric characteristics. Methods Pupillometry measurements were undertaken on 155 healthy participants...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate factors associated with attendance to follow-up ophthalmic care, and to assess the impact of strategies to improve follow-up. Design Cross-sectional study. Methods This is an ongoing study to develop an eye screening paradigm, focusing on African...

Abstract Purpose To summarize the role of anterior segment imaging (AS-imaging) in angle closure diagnosis and management, and the possible advantages over the current standard of gonioscopy. Design Literature review and perspective. Methods Review of the pertinent publications with interpretation...

Highlights •An inaccurate summary of evaporation rates was previously reported. •Updated tables of evaporation rates for studies between 1941 and 2016 were created. •The tables contain evaporation rates for normal and dry eyes. •Most values were converted to one unit...

tradotto e adattatto da Evolution of optic nerve photography for glaucoma screening: a review Punti Chiave:– L’osservazione del nervo ottico è una delle tecniche più diffuse nella valutazione del glaucoma.– Le nuove tecnologie hanno reso l’acquisizione delle immagini del nervo ottico più semplice,...

Purpose: To evaluate the measurement of anisocoria in a group of ocular healthy subjects using a standardized protocol in scotopic, mesopic, and photopic lighting conditions, and determine the optimal threshold of difference in pupil diameter in determining physiologic anisocoria. Methods: Right and...

Abstract Achromatopsia is a complex inherited retinal disease that affects the cone cell function. It is usually an autosomal-recessive disease and is characterized by pendular nystagmus, poor visual acuity, lack of color vision, and marked photophobia. CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C,...

Abstract Purpose Much knowledge has been collected over the past 20 years about light scattering in the eye- in particular in the eye lens- and its visual effect, called straylight. It is the purpose of this review to discuss how these...
