Optical defocus affects differently ON and OFF visual pathways
Friday July 04, 2025

The human eye has a crystalline lens that focuses retinal images at different viewing distances. Optical defocus reduces the spatial resolution and contrast of these[...]

Meibomian gland characteristics in children: A narrative review
Wednesday July 02, 2025

PURPOSE: Despite extensive research on meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in adults, studies on paediatric populations remain limited. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis[...]

Interventions for improving adherence to amblyopia treatments in children
Wednesday July 02, 2025

RATIONALE: Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental visual disorder that can be successfully treated, particularly in younger children. However, the effectiveness of treatment is often limited by[...]

Longitudinal development of ocular biometric components and refractive error in children with hyperopic anisometropia
Friday June 13, 2025

CONCLUSIONS: In children with hyperopic anisometropia, axial elongation was slower in the MoreH than in the LessH eyes, particularly in those with amblyopia.

Access to Myopia Care in the United States-A Narrative Review
Thursday June 05, 2025

This review describes the evidence related to the burden of myopia and the status of access to myopia care, including detection, treatment, and management, in[...]

The impact of break schedules on digital eye strain symptoms and ocular accommodation during prolonged near work
Wednesday June 04, 2025

This study evaluated the effects of four different break schedules on symptoms and signs of Digital Eye Strain (DES) during a 40-min reading task. Twenty-four[...]

Artificial intelligence-powered smart vision glasses for the visually impaired
Friday May 30, 2025

CONCLUSION: SVG is a promising cost-effective device for the blind and severe visually impaired in aiding their day-to-day challenges and becoming self-reliant.

Collaboration Between Emergency Medicine and Optometry Aids in Diagnosing Atypical Wallenberg Syndrome in a 37-Year-Old Female
Thursday May 15, 2025

This case report highlights an atypical clinical presentation featuring ipsilateral head, neck, shoulder, and eye pain with erythema, edema of the right eyelid and conjunctiva,[...]

Intraocular pressure correlation to progressive retinal nerve fiber layer loss in primary open angle glaucoma as measured by standard and modified goldmann applanation tonometers
Wednesday April 30, 2025

CONCLUSIONS: Higher levels of GAT IOP during follow-up were related to higher rates of progressive RNFL loss detected by optic nerve OCT in treated POAG.[...]

English version of the Computer Vision Symptom Scale (CVSS17): Translation and Rasch analysis-based cultural adaptation
Wednesday April 16, 2025

CONCLUSION: The English version of CVSS17 demonstrates comparable performance to the original, indicating its suitability for clinicians and researchers to reliably assess Digital Eye Strain[...]

Targeting Connexin 43 in Retinal Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival in Glaucomatous Injury
Saturday March 29, 2025

Astrocytes in the retina and optic nerve head play an important role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Astrocytes extensively express connexin 43 (Cx43), a protein[...]

Sustained Experimental Myopia Exacerbates the Effect of Eye Growth on Retinal Ganglion Cell Density and Function
Thursday March 27, 2025

The aim of this study is to describe the effect that sustained myopic eye growth has on the cellular distribution and function of retinal ganglion[...]

Subnuclear Phacoemulsification to Reduce Corneal Injury in Nuclear Cataract Surgery: Evidence From a Randomized Controlled Trial
Wednesday March 26, 2025

Objects: To assess the safety and effectiveness of subnuclear phacoemulsification (SNP), a new technique for reducing corneal injury in nuclear cataract surgery. Methods: This randomized[...]

Cognitive demand, concurrent viewing distances, and digital eyestrain
Friday March 21, 2025

CONCLUSIONS: Task-induced symptoms varied with both cognitive demand and mode of presentation. However, working distance did not vary significantly with these factors. The wording distance[...]
