Center-for-Near Extended-Depth-of-Focus Soft Contact Lens for Myopia Control in Children: 1-Year Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) soft contact lens for myopia control in children.

Methods: A prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, contralateral-eye comparison clinical trial was conducted in 72 children (40 male and 32 female) aged 9 to 14 years, with each eye randomly selected to wear either an experimental EDOF contact lens or a single-vision control lens at least 8 h per day, 5 days a week, for 52 weeks. Each contact lens was worn and then replaced daily.

Different Involvement of Band 3 in Red Cell Deformability and Osmotic Fragility-A Comparative GP.Mur Erythrocyte Study.

GP.Mur is a clinically important red blood cell (RBC) phenotype in Southeast Asia. The molecular entity of GP.

Correction of Myopic Astigmatism with Topography-Guided Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (TOPOLINK).

We aim to assess the feasibility of topography-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (TOPOLINK) for correcting pre-existing and surgical-induced astigmatism. A retrospective, single center cohort study was conducted. Patients with pre-existing irregular myopic astigmatism were recruited into the primary group and those with irregular myopic astigmatism following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) were recruited into the enhancement group.

Risk Factors and Behaviours of Schoolchildren with Myopia in Taiwan.

Because of the high prevalence of myopia in Taiwan, understanding the risk factors for its development and progression is important to public health. This study investigated the risk factors for myopia and their influence on the progression of myopia in schoolchildren in Taiwan. Patients' clinical records were obtained retrospectively from ophthalmologists.

Short-term refractive and ocular parameter changes after topical atropine.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore short-term refractive and ocular parameter changes and their correlations after cycloplegia with atropine.

Meterials And Methods: This is a prospective clinical trial that enrolled 96 eyes of 96 participants (mean age, 8.5 ± 2.

Optic Disc Parameters of Myopic Children with Atropine Treatment.

Purpose: To characterize optic disc parameters, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), and the intraocular pressure (IOP) of myopic children under continual topical 0.25% atropine treatment.

Methods: From October 1, 2010 to September 31, 2011, 67 eyes of 35 myopic children were recruited.

Expedited CO2 respiration in people with Miltenberger erythrocyte phenotype GP.Mur.

In Southeast Asia, Miltenberger antigen subtype III (Mi.III; GP.Mur) is considered one of the most important red blood cell antigens in the field of transfusion medicine.

Short-term refractive change and ocular parameter changes after cycloplegia.

Purpose: To explore short-term refractive and ocular parameter changes and their correlations after cycloplegia with tropicamide.

Methods: This study prospectively enrolled 114 right eyes of 114 participants (mean [±SD] age, 9.1 [±2.

The effect of low-concentration atropine combined with auricular acupoint stimulation in myopia control.

Objectives: To compare the effect of myopia control between patients treated with low-concentration atropine eye drops combined with auricular acupoint stimulation and those treated with atropine alone.

Design And Settings: Single-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial in a regional teaching hospital.

Interventions: The patients received either topical 0.

Pseudokeratoconus in a patient with soft contact lens-induced keratopathy: assessment with Orbscan I.

We report a patient with soft contact lens-induced keratopathy that caused Orbscan corneal topography (Bausch & Lomb) to show features suggestive of keratoconus. In cases such as this, Orbscan should be used with other examination techniques such as Placido disk-based topography or ultrasonic pachymetry to ensure the correct diagnosis.
