The Association Between Frailty and Uncorrected Refractive Error in Older Adults
Ophthalmic Epidemiology, 2020 Purpose: Uncorrected refractive error (URE) is the leading cause of impaired vision in older adults and has been associated with adverse health outcomes. Here, we investigate the association between URE and frailty in older adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participants ≥60 ...

Uncorrected Myopic Refractive Error Increases Microsaccade Amplitude
Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2015 Human brain generates miniature eye movements, such as microsaccades, to counteract image fading due to visual adaptation. Generation of microsaccade relies on the amount of retinal error or acuity demand for a desired visual task. The goal of this study was to assess the influence of visual blur, induced by uncorrected refractive error on ...
