Acoustic levitation is well-suited to 'lab-on-a-drop' contactless chemical analysis of droplets. Rapid mixing is of fundamental importance in lab-on-a-drop platforms and many other applications involving droplet manipulation. Small droplets, however, have low Reynolds numbers; thus, mixing via turbulence is not possible.

Methods: A total of 2216 healthy eyes of 1384 participants were analyzed. Each participant underwent comprehensive physical and ophthalmic examinations, the latter including optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Purpose: To investigate the changes in macular blood flow and the correlation between those changes and central visual function in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Methods: The mean blur rate (MBR), a quantitative blurring index of the laser speckle pattern that represents retinal and choroidal blood flow, was measured by laser speckle flowgraphy. Mean blur rate values in the macular area were compared between 70 patients with RP and 28 control subjects.
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between aqueous flare values and central visual function in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Design: Retrospective, observational case series.
Methods: We retrospectively studied 160 patients diagnosed with typical RP and 59 control subjects.
Purpose: To investigate the factors affecting visual acuity after cataract surgery in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Design: Retrospective, observational study.
Participants: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of a consecutive series of 40 patients with RP who underwent cataract surgery.
