Comparison of the Diagnosis and Management of Demodex Blepharitis Between Eye Care Practitioners in India and Australasia - A Survey-Based Comparison.

Aim: The primary aim of this study was to compare how eyecare professionals in disparate regions of the world diagnose and manage Demodex blepharitis. A secondary aim was to explore interprofessional differences in diagnostic and management practices.

Methods: Ophthalmologists and optometrists from India and Australia/New Zealand, were invited to complete an online survey on Demodex blepharitis.

Demodex Blepharitis: A Survey-Based Approach to Investigate Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Among Optometrists in India.

Purpose: To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practice towards Demodex blepharitis among optometrists in India.

Methods: The study was conducted in the form of an online survey using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap). The survey link was distributed via direct e-mail and social media platforms, and it was comprised of 20 questions divided into two sections.

Comparison of Javal-Schiøtz keratometer, Orbscan IIz and Pentacam topographers in evaluating anterior corneal topography.

Clinical Relevance: Inter-instrument variation in anterior corneal shape (ACS) measurement has a consequence for ocular clinical practice.

Background: To consider inter-instrument variability in keratometry measurements across the ACS and to explore instrument protocols for determining ACS keratometric analogues (KAs).

Methods: Mean keratometry/KAs of the right eye were recorded using Javal-Schiøtz keratometer (J-S), Orbscan IIz and Pentacam from 124 subjects (78 females; mean ± SD age: 24.

CLEAR - Contact lens wettability, cleaning, disinfection and interactions with tears.

Contact lens materials have undergone significant changes over the past 20 years, particularly with respect to the introduction of silicone hydrogel materials. Whilst this development addressed hypoxic issues, other important areas relating to contact lens success, notably comfort, require further research. Contact lens wettability remains a crucially important part of biocompatibility.

Quantitative measurement of mechanical properties in wound healing processes in a corneal stroma model by using vibrational optical coherence elastography (OCE).

Corneal wound healing, caused by frequent traumatic injury to the cornea and increasing numbers of refractive surgeries, has become a vital clinical problem. In the cornea, wound healing is an extremely complicated process. However, little is known about how the biomechanical changes in wound healing response of the cornea.
