Physiological correlates of a simple saccadic-decision task to extended objects in superior colliculus
Monday April 01, 2024

Our vision is best only in the center of our gaze, and we use saccadic eye movements to direct gaze to objects and features of[...]

Case series: Fundus autofluorescence abnormalities in a family of ocular albinism carriers
Monday February 26, 2024

CONCLUSIONS: Ocular albinism carriers have abnormal retinal pigmentation in a characteristic pattern. Fundus autofluorescence shows a correlative pattern that can confirm carrier status of ocular[...]

Glaucoma and Dry Eye Disease: Opportunity to Assess and Treat
Monday October 23, 2023

Dry eye disease (DED) has been found to occur at a higher prevalence in individuals with glaucoma than in individuals without glaucoma. The relationship between[...]

Self-Reported Visual Ability Versus Task Performance in Individuals With Ultra-Low Vision
Tuesday October 17, 2023

CONCLUSIONS: While self-reports impose a lower demand for equipment and personnel, actual task performance should be measured to assess visual ability in ULV.

Orienting attention across binocular disparity
Thursday October 12, 2023

The spatial distribution of covert visual attention following an exogenous cue is often described as a spotlight, which disregards depth. Here, we study the orienting[...]

Distance horizontal fusional facility (DFF): A new diagnostic vergence test for the acquired brain injury (ABI) population
Monday October 09, 2023

CONCLUSION: The DFF test is a new and useful way to assess horizontal, distance, dynamic, fusional facility in those with presumed non-mTBI, ABI neurological conditions[...]

Inhibitory tagging both speeds and strengthens saccade target selection in the superior colliculus during visual search
Monday October 02, 2023

It has been suggested that, during difficult visual search tasks involving time pressure and multiple saccades, inhibitory tagging helps to facilitate efficient saccade target selection[...]

Inhibitory tagging in the superior colliculus during visual search
Wednesday September 06, 2023

Inhibitory tagging is an important feature of many models of saccade target selection, in particular those that are based on the notion of a neural[...]

Intraocular Pressure and Myopia Progression, Axial Length Elongation in Rural Chinese Children
Monday August 28, 2023

CONCLUSIONS: Myopic eyes have slightly higher IOP compared with emmetropic and hyperopic eyes, although it was not clinically significant. However, IOP was not found to[...]

Age exacerbates the effect of myopia on retinal capillaries and string vessels
Monday August 21, 2023

The retinal vasculature supplies oxygen and nutrition to the cells and is crucial for an adequate retinal function. In myopia, excessive eye growth is associated[...]

The Feasibility of an Educational Cartoon Video for Improving Adherence with Amblyopia Treatment in Children
Tuesday June 13, 2023

CONCLUSION: The Educational cartoon video is feasible for use in a clinical setting. These data showed a trend of improvement in adherence with both patching[...]

Using high-density perimetry to explore new approaches for characterizing visual field defects
Wednesday June 07, 2023

High-density threshold perimetry has found that conventional static threshold perimetry misses defects due to undersampling. However, high-density testing can be both slow and limited by[...]

Efficacy and Safety of 0.01% and 0.02% Atropine for the Treatment of Pediatric Myopia Progression Over 3 Years: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Thursday June 01, 2023

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This randomized clinical trial found that 0.02% atropine did not significantly increase the proportion of participants' eyes responding to therapy but suggested[...]

Development of a novel protocol to evaluate contact-lens related ocular surface health on marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)
Wednesday May 03, 2023

Contact lens wear affects the ocular surface and can cause contact lens-induced dry eye (CLIDE). The purpose of this study was bifold: (1) to develop[...]

IMI-Global Trends in Myopia Management Attitudes and Strategies in Clinical Practice-2022 Update
Monday May 01, 2023

CONCLUSIONS: More practitioners across the globe are practicing myopia control, but there are still significant differences between and within continents. Practitioners reported that embracing myopia[...]

Historical, Diagnostic, and Chromatic Treatment in Visual Snow Syndrome: A Retrospective Analysis
Tuesday April 18, 2023

CONCLUSIONS: The present information will help in understanding this unusual medicoperceptual condition, especially with respect to simple treatment frequently using readily available chromatic tints.

Validation of the DYOP visual acuity test
Friday November 18, 2022

CONCLUSIONS: The DYOP and letter charts differed significantly in their mean values with wide limits of agreement. DYOP had better within-subject SD and narrower limits[...]
