Systems and methods for altering visual acuity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Provided are systems operable to effect a temporary change in a modulation transfer function (MTF) of a target imaging system. The systems include a light source operable to produce light for transient propagation onto at least a portion of the target ...

A case of Beauveria bassiana keratitis confirmed by internal transcribed spacer and LSU rDNA D1–D2 sequencing

open access: yesNew Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014
Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

The evaluation of vision in children using monocular vision acuity and strereo-acuity tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Monocular visual acuity and stereo-acuity tests were carried out on 308 children between the ages of two to twelve years. Children with reduced visual acuity (V.A) and who failed the RandomDot E (RDE) stereo- acuity tests were further examined for ...

The Impact of Cataract Surgery on Contrast Visual Acuity and Retinal Sensitivity in Patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2021
Purpose. To determine the effects of cataract surgery on contrast visual acuity and retinal sensitivity in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. Methods. Retinal sensitivity and contrast visual acuity were determined by microperimetry (MAIA) and contrast ...

Assessing visual acuity in visual prostheses through a virtual-reality system [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Current visual implants still provide very low resolution and limited field of view, thus limiting visual acuity in implanted patients. Developments of new strategies of artificial vision simulation systems by harnessing new advancements in technologies are of upmost priorities for the development of new visual devices.

Visual Acuity Prediction on Real-Life Patient Data Using a Machine Learning Based Multistage System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In ophthalmology, intravitreal operative medication therapy (IVOM) is a widespread treatment for diseases related to the age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the diabetic macular edema (DME), as well as the retinal vein occlusion (RVO). However, in real-world settings, patients often suffer from loss of vision on time scales of years despite therapy,

Retrospective, controlled observational case study of patients with central retinal vein occlusion and initially low visual acuity treated with an intravitreal dexamethasone implant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background Patients with initially low visual acuity were excluded from the therapy approval studies for retinal vein occlusion. But up to 28 % of patients presenting with central retinal vein occlusion have a baseline BCVA of less than 34 ETDRS letters (

Comparison of smartphone application-based visual acuity with traditional visual acuity chart for use in tele-ophthalmology

open access: yesTaiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the visual acuity (VA) by smartphone-based applications – EyeChart and the Peek Acuity to the standard Snellen chart to explore the possibility of using them as an alternative in tele-ophthalmology in the ...

Development of visual acuity [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Disease in Childhood, 1973
A hand-held electrically operated instrument has been devised to assess visual acuity by means of the phenomenon of opto-kinetic fixation nystagmus. An accurate determination of visual acuity has been obtained from an early age, and a graph of the normal visual acuity development produced. It has been confirmed that adult acuity is reached by 3 years

Transthyretin levels in the vitreous correlate with change in visual acuity after vitrectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background/aim: Little is known about biochemical markers related to change in visual acuity after vitrectomy. The potential use of transthyretin (TTR), a carrier of the retinol/retinol-binding protein, as a biochemical marker protein, was investigated ...
