Usefulness of ocular ultrasound for monitoring acute retinal arterial ischemia.

Introduction: The ocular ultrasound spot sign negatively predicts the success of thrombolytic treatment in retinal arterial occlusions. We evaluated the presence of the spot sign in these patients.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of patients with acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) or its branches (BRAO).

Minimum perceptual time (MPT). Repeatability and reproducibility of variables applied to "sports vision".

Purpose: "Minimum Perceptual Time" (MPT) is the ability to take the most visual information in the least time. The purpose of the study was to assess intraobserver and interobserver repeatability of a MPT measurement method by using COI-SV software and to analyze the possible influence of age and sex.

Methods: MPT was measured in 79 participants by using COI-SV software.

Burnout syndrome in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American ophthalmologists: a cross-sectional analysis.

Purpose: Despite the well-known consequences of burnout syndrome, there has been little research into this syndrome in the field of ophthalmology. Our objective is to determine the frequency of burnout syndrome between Spanish, Portugal and Latin-American ophthalmologists, as well as to analyse its relationship with different sociodemographic variables.

Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional descriptive study including ophthalmologists from Spain, Portugal and 15 Latin American countries.

The Efficacy and Safety of Rebamipide Ophthalmic Suspension (OPC-12759) in Patients with Dry Eye Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rebamipide (REB) ophthalmic suspension in dry eye disease (DED). A systematic review that only included full-length randomized controlled studies (RCTs) reporting the effects of REB ophthalmic suspension in three databases, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to analyze the quality of the studies selected.

Tear Film Stabilization and Symptom Improvement in Dry Eye Disease: The Role of Hyaluronic Acid and Trehalose Eyedrops versus Carmellose Sodium.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid and trehalose (HA/trehalose) eyedrops in managing dry eye disease (DED) symptoms by measuring tear stability and administering a DED questionnaire. Sixty patients were treated with either HA/trehalose eyedrops (Tear A) or carmellose sodium eyedrops (Tear B) as controls. The tear breakup time (TBUT) and non-invasive breakup time (NIBUT) were monitored, and patients completed the standard patient evaluation of eye dryness (SPEED) questionnaire.

Complications of Small Aperture Intracorneal Inlays: A Literature Review.

Presbyopia can be defined as the refractive state of the eye in which, due to a physiological decrease in the ability to accommodate, it is not possible to sustain vision without fatigue in a prolonged manner, along with difficulty focusing near vision. It is estimated that its prevalence in 2030 will be approximately 2.1 billion people.

Visual system and motor development in children: a systematic review.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the available scientific literature on the possible relationship between the visual system and motor development in children.

Methods: This study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement recommendations. The review protocol is available in PROSPERO (CRD42021245341).

Prevalence of age-related macular degeneration among optometric telemedicine users in Spain: a retrospective nationwide population-based study.

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of AMD among optometric telemedicine users in Spain and to identify risk factors.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of a nationwide database conducted on subjects attending to optometry centers, between January 2013 and December 2019. Fundus photographs were performed by optometrists, using non-mydriatic cameras, and evaluated by a group of 12 retina specialists.

The Effect of Age on Binocular Vision Normative Values.

Purpose: To establish a relationship between age and horizontal heterophoria, horizontal fusional vergence amplitudes, and vergence facility testing.

Methods: The sample consisted of 112 patients with a mean age of 39.8 ± 14.

Visual Binocular Disorders and Their Relationship with Baropodometric Parameters: A Cross-Association Study.

The aim of this study was to establish a relationship between nonstrabismic binocular dysfunction and baropodometric parameters. A total of 106 participants underwent binocular vision assessment by evaluating horizontal heterophoria, horizontal and vertical fusional vergence ranges, and vergence facility. Posturography was measured using the FreeMED baropodometric platform.

Vision Development Differences between Slow and Fast Motor Development in Typical Developing Toddlers: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Many studies have established a relationship between visual function and motor development in toddlers. This is the first report to study two-year-olds via an assessment of their visual and motor skills. The purpose of this study is to describe the possible changes that can occur between visual and motor systems in typical developing toddlers.

Visual system disorders and musculoskeletal neck complaints: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Accommodation disorders and nonstrabismic binocular dysfunctions affect patients' binocular system and visual performance. These visual disorders could be associated with musculoskeletal discomfort in the neck and shoulder area. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to ascertain the relationship between visual system disorders and the musculoskeletal system of the neck.

Renal function and choroidal thickness using swept-source optical coherence tomography in diabetic patients.

Aim: To assess the relationship between choroidal thickness and renal function in diabetic patients.

Methods: Cross-sectional retrospective clinical study of 42 eyes of 21 ocular treatment-naïve diabetic patients. Demographic data included: age, sex, type and course of diabetes.

Nonstrabismic binocular dysfunctions and cervical complaints: The possibility of a cross-dysfunction.

The aim of this study is to establish a relationship between non-strabismic binocular dysfunction and neck pain. One hundred twelve participants underwent binocular vision assessment by evaluating horizontal heterophoria, horizontal and vertical fusional vergence ranges and vergence facility. The subjects were classified into two groups: binocular anomalies and normal binocular function.

Is it possible to relate accommodative visual dysfunctions to neck pain?

The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a relationship between conditions of accommodative visual dysfunctions and cervical complaints. Fifty-two participants were included. Variables were accommodative amplitude, positive and negative relative accommodation (NRA), accommodative response, and accommodative facility.
