Dynamic Electrooculography Findings for Medial Rectus Myofascial Release in Esodeviation.

Purpose: To determine which mechanisms are operative in releasing the extraocular myofascial tissue in response to extraocular myofascial release (EOMR) and to evaluate the effect of EOMR on saccadic velocity and esodeviation angle in patients with convergence spasm.

Methods: Fourteen patients with convergence spasm aged 20-35 participated in this research. The treatment included touching the medial rectus and its interrelated fascial tissue with the index finger pulp from over the eyelid for at least 300 s and applying very gentle and uniform pressure.

Visual Acuity Improvement in Adult Anisometropic Amblyopes After Active Vision Therapy.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of active vision therapy in adults with anisometropic amblyopia.

Methods: In this study, 20 adults with anisometropic amblyopia aged from 17-35 years old were treated for five sessions (one session per week) with vision therapy techniques which include accommodative rock, vergence rock, and saccadic training. Moreover, computerized vision therapy was performed by Optosys software.

Low light visual function after accelerated corneal Cross-Linking Protocols: 18 mW/cm2 vs. 9 mW/cm2.

To compare one-year results of vision, corneal aberrometry and contrast sensitivity (CS) in low light conditions between 5- and 10-minute accelerated cross-linking (CXL) protocols. Thirty eyes were evaluated in each studied group. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity by the SC-2000 Snellen chart, corneal higher order aberrations using the OPD Scan III and CS using MonCv3System was tested under mesopic (20 lux) and scotopic (0.

Comparison of surgical or nonsurgical treatment outcomes in patients with thoracolumbar fracture with Score 4 of TLICS: A randomized, single-blind, and single-central clinical trial.

Background: Thoracolumbar fractures are among the most common types of damages caused to the spinal cord .Therefore, the aim of this study was the comparison of surgical or nonsurgical treatment outcomes in patients with thoracolumbar fracture with score 4 of the thoracolumbar injury classification and severity (TLICS) METHODS:: This study was clinical trial and double blind. Patients with thoracolumbar fracture with score 4 of TLICS entered at this research.

Scotopic contrast sensitivity and glare after accelerated corneal cross-linking.

Background: The aim was to assess one-year changes in uncorrected and corrected contrast sensitivity (CS) and glare under scotopic conditions after accelerated cross-linking (CXL) using the 18 mW/cm protocol for the treatment of progressive keratoconus and compare results with unoperated controls.

Methods: In this non-randomised clinical trial, 30 eyes were enrolled in the CXL group and 30 were assigned to the control group. Scotopic CS at spatial frequencies (SFs) of 0.

OPD-Scan III: a repeatability and inter-device agreement study of a multifunctional device in emmetropia, ametropia, and keratoconus.

The purpose of this study was to test the measurements of a multifunctional device, the NIDEK OPD-Scan III in terms of repeatability and agreement with retinoscopy and Pentacam in cases with emmetropia, ametropia, and KCN (grade 1-3). We enrolled 170 eyes (40 in each group of emmetropia and ametropia, and 90 in the 3 KCN subgroups). Acquisitions were done twice by a single technician to check the intra class correlation, repeatability index, and precision.
