Purpose: To assess the effect of elevated core body temperature on temporal and spatial contrast sensitivity and retinal vessel diameters.
Methods: The study included 13 healthy volunteers aged 20-37 years. Core body temperature elevation (target +1.
Purpose: To report on the retinal function and structure in a 37-year-old male who presented with a tapetal-like reflex (TLR) indistinguishable from that seen in female carriers of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP).
Methods: Clinical examination included dark adaptometry, full-field electroretinography (ERG), multifocal ERG, optical coherence tomography, and fundus autofluorescence photography. Molecular genetic testing included screening for known mutations in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP) genes with a commercially available chip, and sequencing analysis of retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR)-open reading frame 15 (ORF15).
Purpose: To assess spectrophotometric oximetry across a broad range of arterial saturation levels and to study the effect of chronic systemic hypoxemia on retinal oxygen extraction.
Methods: The study included 16 patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, a cyanotic cardiac defect, and 17 healthy volunteers. Oxygen saturation in selected major retinal arteries and veins was assessed using noninvasive spectrophotometric oximetry.

Purpose: Exposure to elevated ambient temperatures has been mentioned as a risk factor for common eye diseases, primarily presbyopia and cataract. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship among ambient, cornea, and body core temperature.
Methods: The relation between corneal temperature and ambient temperature was examined in 11 human volunteers.
