Exploring the Impact of Blood Draws on the Intraocular Pressure of Older Adults: A Focus on Physiological Responses.

: This study investigated intraocular pressure (IOP) changes after a blood draw in older adults considering sex, age, and baseline IOP. : Fifty-three subjects (54.7% females; age: 68.

Validation of a method to assess night myopia in a clinical setting.

A study was conducted with 115 subjects who regularly drove at night to validate a refraction protocol for detecting refractive visual changes from daytime to nighttime conditions. Objective and subjective refractions were performed in both photopic and mesopic conditions, with a dark adaptation period before the mesopic subjective refraction. The results showed that in mesopic conditions, visual acuity decreased by 0.

Risk Factors for Myopia: A Review.

Due to the myopia prevalence increase worldwide, this study aims to establish the most relevant risk factors associated with its development and progression. A review search was carried out using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases to identify the main myopia risk factors. The inclusion criteria for the articles were those related to the topic, carried out in subjects from 5 to 30 years, published between January 2000 and May 2023, in English, and with the full text available.

Do Age and Sex Play a Role in the Intraocular Pressure Changes after Acrobatic Gymnastics?

To evaluate the effects of an acrobatic gymnastics (AG) training session on intraocular pressure (IOP), a familiarization session was employed to confirm the participant's suitability for the study. Forty-nine gymnasts (63.27% females, 18-40 years old) voluntarily agreed to participate.

Validation of a modified version of the adult developmental eye movement test.

This study evaluates in terms of reliability, internal consistency, and validity a modification of the Adult Developmental Eye Movement (ADEM) test, ADEM with distractors (ADEMd), designed to analyse oculomotor system, visual processing and visual attentional behaviour. 302 healthy subjects participated in the study (20-86 years old). Intrasession repeatability was evaluated by analysing the correlation between the time needed to read different parts of the test.

Characterization of the effect of intracorneal ring segment in corneal ectasia after laser refractive surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual, refractive, topographic, pachymetric, and biomechanical outcomes after intracorneal ring segment implantation in corneas with post-LASIK ectasia.

Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study enrolling 26 eyes of 22 patients with post-LASIK ectasia and undergoing intracorneal ring segment implantation (KeraRing®, Mediphacos) using a 60-kHz femtosecond laser (IntraLase®, IntraLase Corp.) for corneal tunnelization.

Anterior Segment Biometry and Their Correlation with Corneal Biomechanics in Caucasian Children.

Purpose: To assess the relationship between the corneal biomechanical parameters and the anterior segment parameters in Caucasian children.

Methods: This study included 293 eyes from 293 healthy children aged between 6 and 17 years. Corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) were evaluated with the Ocular Response Analyzer, axial length (AL) with IOLMaster and the anterior segment with Pentacam.

Corneal biomechanics, retinal nerve fiber layer, and optic disc in children.

Purpose: To evaluate the possible associations between corneal biomechanical parameters, optic disc morphology, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in healthy white Spanish children.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 myopic children and 99 emmetropic children as a control group, ranging in age from 6 to 17 years. The Ocular Response Analyzer was used to measure corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor.

Relationship among corneal biomechanics, refractive error, and axial length.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between different ocular and corneal biomechanical parameters in emmetropic and ametropic healthy white children.

Methods: This study included 293 eyes of 293 healthy Spanish children (135 boys and 158 girls), ranging in age from 6 to 17 years. Subjects were divided according to the refractive error: control (emmetropia, 99 children), myopia (100 children), and hyperopia (94 children) groups.
