Vision screening in children:a retrospective study of social and demographic factors with regard to visual outcomes [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Amblyopia and its risk factors have been demonstrated to be more common among children from low socioeconomic backgrounds. We sought to investigate this association in a region with orthoptic-delivered screening and whole population coverage,

A retinoscopic survey of 333 horses and ponies in the UK [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: Ophthalmic examination in the horse is generally limited to crude assessment of vision and screening for ocular lesions. The refractive state of equine eyes and the potential impact on vision and performance requires further ...

Independent and reciprocal accommodation in anisometropic amblyopia [PDF]
, 2010 Accommodation is considered to be a symmetrical response and to be driven by the least ametropic and nonamblyopic eye in anisometropia. We report the case of a 4-year-old child with anisometropic amblyopia who accommodates asymmetrically, reliably ...

Cycloplegic Effects on the Cylindrical Components of the Refraction [PDF]
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021 It is important to predict which astigmatic patients require separate refraction for near vision. This study compared cylindrical components changes by cyclopentolate 1% for the low and high amount of astigmatism. The right eyes of 1014 healthy individuals (307 males and 707 females) with cylindrical refractive power more than −0.5 diopter on ...

Influence of fogging lenses and cycloplegia on open-field automatic refraction [PDF]
, 2008 Purpose: To compare refractive values measured without cycloplegia, cycloplegia and fogging lenses using an open-field auto-refractor. Methods: One hundred and forty-two young adults were enrolled from a university population; 96 were female (67.6 ...

Receding and disparity cues aid relaxation of accommodation [PDF]
, 2009 Purpose. Accommodation can mask hyperopia and reduce the accuracy of non-cycloplegic refraction. It is, therefore, important to minimize accommodation to obtain a measure of hyperopia as accurate as possible.

Chinese eye exercises and myopia development in school age children: a nested case-control study [PDF]
, 2016 Chinese eye exercises have been implemented in China as an intervention for controlling children’s myopia for over 50 years. This nested case-control study investigated Chinese eye exercises and their association with myopia development in junior middle ...

Strategies to regulate myopia progression with contact lenses: a review [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: Higher myopic refractive errors are associated with serious ocular complications that can put visual function at risk. There is respective interest in slowing and if possible stopping myopia progression before it reaches a level associated ...
