The repeatability of accommodative accuracy in childhood unilateral amblyopia. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Unilateral amblyopia is associated with inaccurate accommodation when viewing monocularly with the amblyopic eye, such as when performing traditional amblyopia therapies. This study investigated the repeatability of the accommodative responses over time to understand the likely pattern of defocus during these therapies.

The QuickSee autorefractor reliably measures the accommodative response in children compared with the Shin-Nippon autorefractor. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction This study evaluated the QuickSee autorefractor for measurement of the accommodative response in a cohort of children without significant ametropia, and compared the findings to those determined using the gold‐standard Shin‐Nippon device. Methods Children aged 5–7 years were recruited.

Accuracy and precision of a sphero-cylindrical over-refraction app for smartphones. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the accuracy and precision of a web‐based smartphone app designed to measure sphero‐cylindrical over‐refraction. Methods A total of 307 healthy young subjects (22.5 ± 3.4 years) underwent clinical subjective refraction. In addition to each subject's refractive correction, spherical and cylindrical errors from −1.50 to 0.00 ...

P4HA2 Participates in Pathogenesis of Refractive Error by Regulating Collagen Posttranslational Modification and Extracellular Matrix Balance. [PDF]
Myopia represents a refractive anomaly characterized by impaired vision resulting from a misfocused image in front of the fovea. Although numerous genes linked to high myopia (HM) have been identified, the exact etiology and pathogenesis mechanisms of HM remain predominantly obscure. In a prior investigation, a mutation in the P4HA2 gene was identified

Sources of reduced visual acuity and spectacle treatment options for individuals with Down syndrome: Review of current literature. [PDF]
Abstract Individuals with Down syndrome are known to have a greater prevalence of ocular conditions such as strabismus, nystagmus, elevated refractive error, poor accommodative function, elevated higher‐order optical aberrations and corneal abnormalities.

Using a video‐based eye tracker to analyse the binocular near‐reflex dynamics response
Abstract Purpose This study presents a novel video‐based eye‐tracking system for analysing the dynamics of the binocular near‐reflex response. The system enables the simultaneous measurement of convergence, divergence and pupillary size during accommodation and disaccommodation to aid the comprehensive understanding of the three‐component near‐reflex ...

Decreased brain activation in the right frontal eye field, left inferior parietal lobule and cerebellum was found in intermittent exotropia (IXT) children, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of IXT by influencing fusional vergence function. Increased activation in MT+ may compensate for this dysfunction in IXT children.

Study on accommodation by autorefraction and dynamic refraction in children
Purpose: Childhood accommodation interferes with accurate diagnosis of the latent refractive errors. Dynamic retinoscopy offers accurate measurements of accommodative response, while an autorefractometer can predict the accommodative system activation in
