Retinal Expansion Affects Refractive Parameters, Ocular Misalignments
The impacts of retinal expansion are stronger for larger eccentricity for most optical features, according to the report.
Astigmatism
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.
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.
Pediatric Questionnaire Offers Vision-Related Quality of Life Assessment
SREEQ-R reliably assesses VRQol, study shows.
Water-Inviting Surface Technology Boosts Comfort in Lenses for Astigmatism
New silicone hydrogels for astigmatism have integrated water surface technology and UV protection for physically active wearers.
Outdated Eyeglasses Prescriptions Prevalent Among Schoolchildren, Study Shows
The study finds a similar rate of students with and without eyeglasses who fail school-based vision screenings.
Patient Age Affects Recovery From SMILE Surgery
Research shows a significant difference in recovery speed in patients of variou ages.
Glasses Do Not Reduce Amblyopia Risk for Children With Astigmatism
Children with moderate astigmatism who either wore glasses or were observed had similar rates of strabismus or amblyopia.
