SubFoveal Choroidal Imaging in High Myopic Nepalese Cohort.

Purpose: Evidence suggests that choroid is thinner in myopes as compared to nonmyopes. However, choroidal thickness varies with the refractive error, age, axial length, and ethnicity. The purpose of this study was to determine the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in high myopic Nepalese subjects and to investigate its association with the mean spherical equivalent refractive error (MSE), axial length, and age.

Flash VEP in clinically stable pre-term and full-term infants.

Purpose: Pre-term infants are at risk of abnormal visual development that can range from subtle to severe. The aim of this study was to compare flash VEPs in clinically stable pre-term and full-term infants at 6 months of age.

Methods: Twenty-five pre-term and 25 full-term infants underwent flash VEP testing at the age of 6 months.

Sub-Foveal Choroidal Thickness In Healthy Nepalese Population.

Purpose: This study was conducted primarily to measure sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in healthy Nepalese population. Also, the correlation of SFCT with age, inter-eye difference of SFCT, inter-gender variation and inter-ethnic variation of SFCT was observed.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional, hospital based study in 162 participants (324 eyes) of six ethnic groups (Brahmin, Chhetri, Newar, Tamang, Muslim, and Gurung) was conducted.

Constructing Item Banks for Measuring Quality of Life in Refractive Error.

Significance: Existing patient-reported outcome instruments in refractive error are paper-based questionnaires. They are not comprehensive and psychometrically robust. This study has identified the content of the refractive error-specific item banks that aim to provide comprehensive and scientific measurement of refractive error-specific quality of life.
