Higher order aberrations, refractive error development and myopia control: a review

Clinical and experimental optometry, 2020
Evidence from animal and human studies suggests that ocular growth is influenced by visual experience. Reduced retinal image quality and imposed optical defocus result in predictable changes in axial eye growth.

Do reduced visual acuity and refractive error affect classroom performance?

Clinical and experimental optometry, 2020
The role of visual acuity and refractive errors in the academic performance of children is controversial due to the variable quality of the research in this area and the mixed findings reported.

Refractive errors and schizophrenia

Schizophrenia Research, 2009
Refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia and amblyopia), like schizophrenia, have a strong genetic cause, and dopamine has been proposed as a potential mediator in their pathophysiology. The present study explored the association between refractive errors in adolescence and schizophrenia, and the potential familiality of this association.The Israeli Draft ...

Management of refractive errors

BMJ, 2010
Uncorrected refractive error accounts for half of the global burden of avoidable vision impairment and nearly a third of the global burden of avoidable blindness.1 2 Globally, 153 million people have visual impairment or are blind due to uncorrected refractive error and the majority live in low income countries.1 Additionally, 410 million people have ...

Refractive error and glaucoma

Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2001
ABSTRACT.Purpose: To study the association between refractive error, glaucoma damage and IOP in a large population.Methods: We examined 32,918 citizens of the city of Malmö, Sweden, 57–79 years of age, searching for individuals with undetected glaucoma. Refraction was measured with autorefractors.

Refraction and refractive errors in an elderly population

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 1988
The data for this paper were collected during a two‐year study of the elderly in the market town of Melton Mowbray. The randomly selected subjects, aged 76 years of age and older, were found to be on average + 1.33 D hypermetropic and the average cylinder power was 0.82 D.
