In‐community vision testing device development using a Kaupapa Māori framework
ABSTRACT We report on a 2019 project in which we ran in‐community testing of a novel device for measuring visual acuity (the measure of performance obtained by an eye chart). This work was a collaboration with a community partner school, Kia Aroha College (KAC), a dual Māori/Pacific medium school in Ōtara, South Auckland, New Zealand.

Visual performance and ocular abnormalities in deaf children and young adults: a literature review [PDF]
Visual defects are common in deaf individuals. Refractive error and ocular motor abnormalities are frequently reported, with hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and anomalies of binocular vision, all showing a greater prevalence in deaf individuals compared ...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of 12 months of spectacle lens wear incorporating cylindrical annular refractive elements (CARE) in slowing myopia progression compared to single vision (SV) spectacle wear. Methods In an ongoing 2‐year prospective, double‐masked, multi‐centre clinical trial, 240 Chinese children aged 6–13 years, spherical

Abstract Purpose To investigate 2‐year changes in macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in children receiving 0.01% atropine eyedrops and its relationship with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) progression and axial length (AL) elongation. Methods A total of 250 myopic children aged 6–16 years (167%–0.01% atropine, 83‐placebo) were enrolled in the ...

Variant myopia: A new presentation?
Purpose: Variant myopia (VM) presents as a discrepancy of >1 diopter (D) between subjective and objective refraction, without the presence of any accommodative dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to create a clinical profile of VM.

Correlations between familial refractive error and children's non-cycloplegic refractions
We examined the spherical equivalent refractions of 237 subjects who had been seen four or more times in a longitudinal study of refractive development in normal children. We employed both photorefraction and autorefraction using a Canon R1 autorefractor.
