Binocular Game Improves Amblyopic-Eye VA After 4 Weeks, Longer Term Efficacy Uncertain
Age and other factors may affect treatment outcomes for young patients with amblyopia and may be lengthy in some children.
Myopic Shift Rates Increased in Children Following Onset of the Pandemic
Researchers partially attribute these myopic shifts to less time spent outdoors, which can affect axial elongation.
Unilateral CNLDO Linked With Anisometropia Prevalence
Clinicians are reconsidering the notion that congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction has no impact on visual development in children.
This Caught My Eye: Links and Recommendations from Edmund Tsui, MD
Edmund Tsui, MD, social media editor for the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s journal Ophthalmology, guides readers through what’s trend-worthy in eye care.
Active Myopia Management Methods Yield Favorable Lifetime Financial Return
Active myopia management may involve a higher startup cost, but these costs will likely balance out over the course of one’s lifetime.
School-Related Factors, Myopic Parents Linked With Myopia in High School Students
Schools should consider implementing strategies to mitigate myopia prevalence among their students.
Higher Asphericity Yields Greater Myopia Control in Spectacle Lenses
Mean daily wearing time also influenced spherical equivalent refraction and axial length changes, with full-time wearers experiencing less of a change in both variables compared with part-time wearers.
Multifocal Contact Lenses Reduce Visual Parameters in Myopic Wearers of Single Vision Contacts
Both aspheric lens designs reduced visual quality and altered binocular vision more than the concentric circle design.
School Experiences by Grade, Not Age Related to Myopic Shifts in Children
Increased educational pressures and reduced time outdoors may influence myopic shifts in children as they progress through grade levels in school.
Building a Myopia Management Practice: Tips From an Expert
For too long, we have accepted that myopia and myopia progression are normal aspects of aging. With new management tools and treatment options, this message needs to change immediately.
Non-Cycloplegic Refractions Miscalculate Refractive Error Prevalence in Children
Despite being the preferred method of refraction, cycloplegia can present unique challenges that result in suboptimal participation within school-based vision centers.
Astigmatic Changes Persist Despite Surgery, Baseline Astigmatism Type
Clinicians may not need to consider a patient’s astigmatism type when planning surgical astigmatic corrections.
Contact Lens Satisfaction Determined by Visual Clarity, Comfort, and Handling Ease
Clinicians should not underestimate the importance of handling for application when fitting patients for contact lenses.
Wearable Devices Help Illuminate Myopia Pathogenesis
Children spend approximately 75% of their daily awake time using electronic devices, with potentially damaging ocular consequences, the study shows.
Glaucoma Development, Myopic Shifts Noted Following Pediatric Cataract Surgery
A modest myopic shift is often detected in pseudophakic children 5 years following cataract surgery.
Preschool Vision Screening Methods May Lack Sufficient Sensitivity and Specificity
Detecting moderate to high hyperopia in children is important in order to manage associated conditions such as amblyopia, strabismus, reduced near visual acuity, worse stereopsis, and inaccurate accommodation.
Excessive Tilt Affects Power and Astigmatism in Spectacle Lenses
Clinicians should be cautious of dispensing eyewear with excessive curvature to patients, particularly in cases of moderate to high myopia, a study suggests.
Dual-Focus Contact Lenses May Reduce Accommodative Response at Near Focus
Despite the dual-focus contact lens design’s effectiveness in slowing myopia progression, they may cause a reduced accommodative response during near work, a study shows.
The Status Quo of School Vision Screening
In-school vision screenings often fail to adequately detect threats to ocular health. Can a remedial approach help, or is it time to suspend them?
