Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to train 45 school children with myopia using a visual stimulation device that created a blur stimulus while maintaining constant image size and brightness, to assess its effects on various vision metrics.
- - Over a year, 42 out of 45 children successfully completed the training, with notable improvements: the mean refraction decreased and axial length increased, indicating enhanced visual acuity.
- - Key dynamic accommodation measures improved significantly, including a reduced latency in response time, higher gain in the accommodative phase, and increased maximum speed of accommodation throughout the training period.
Purpose: Application of adequate correction of refractory errors for the treatment of asthenopia of young visual display terminal (VDT) workers was evaluated from subjective complaints and the effect on accommodation dynamics (step response) before and after 6 months.
Methods: Young VDT workers who visited the clinic because of eye strain were consecutively selected. Fifteen workers who were under-corrected for myopia and three workers who were over-corrected for myopia were treated by "adequate correction of refractory errors" with spectacles or soft contact lenses.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between various specific class E immunoglobulins (IgE) in serum and allergic conjunctivitis in spring.
Methods: Forty patients with allergic conjunctivitis and fifty healthy volunteers were selected for this trial. Total IgE and specific IgE to twelve inhalant allergens were measured using the CAP system.
Purpose: Retrospectively, we reviewed the records of 65 patients (115 eyes) regarding the intraocular pressure (IOP) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Methods: The mean patient age was 31.2 +/- 10.
