Abstract Aim To validate the Visual Impairment Developmental Autonomy (VIDA) scale, a questionnaire to assess the autonomy level of children with visual impairment. Method The primary outcome measures included internal consistency, convergent validity, cross‐informant concordance, and descriptive statistics of autonomy profiles across three age groups (

Impact of Natural Blind Spot Location on Perimetry. [PDF]
We study the spatial distribution of natural blind spot location (NBSL) and its impact on perimetry. Pattern deviation (PD) values of 11,449 reliable visual fields (VFs) that are defined as clinically unaffected based on summary indices were extracted ...

ABSTRACT Background High myopia (HM) is a major risk factor for glaucoma. However, glaucomatous optic neuropathy is often undiagnosed owing to atypical structural alterations with axial elongation. Moreover, an algorithm to detect glaucoma in highly myopic eyes has not yet been reported.

ABSTRACT Background In the last two decades, over 250 000 refugees and asylum seekers have arrived in Australia, many of whom experience significant health problems. Information about their eye health is scarce, particularly for those detained offshore. This is the first study to explore the eye health and services available to this population, helping

Hard braking events in bioptic drivers with central vision impairment
Abstract Purpose Some individuals with central vision impairment can obtain or maintain driving privileges using bioptic telescopes. Previous work has often demonstrated an increased collision risk for bioptic drivers, but some on‐road studies find similar safety to that of normally sighted drivers.

Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Features Identified by Unsupervised Machine Learning on Optical Coherence Tomography Scans Predict Glaucoma Progression. [PDF]
Purpose:To apply computational techniques to wide-angle swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) images to identify novel, glaucoma-related structural features and improve detection of glaucoma and prediction of future glaucomatous progression.

An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Detect Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma Based on Spatial Pattern Analysis. [PDF]
Purpose: To detect visual field (VF) progression by analyzing spatial pattern changes. Methods: We selected 12,217 eyes from 7360 patients with at least five reliable 24-2 VFs and 5 years of follow-up with an interval of at least 6 months.
