Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between corneal biomechanics and ocular morphology in myopic children and adolescents.
Patients And Methods: The study included 170 right eyes, from 170 patients under the age of 18 years, who underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination, gathering the following data: spherical equivalent (SE) (under pharmacological cycloplegia), biomechanical parameters - corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF), structural parameters - axial length (AL) and central corneal thickness (CCT).
Results: The average age of the patients was 15.
The purpose of this study is to elaborate and validate a scale for the evaluation of the teachers' attitude towards quality management, by integrating elements of online education. Nine hundred and forty-two teachers from Romania have participated in the study. The exploratory factor analysis has led to the identification of three main dimensions of the scale: (1) communication and alignment; (2) needs and opportunities; and (3) training and support.

This is a prospective study on 54 eyes of 30 consecutive glaucoma patients, whose compliance capacity did not allow automatic perimetry and OCT scan to be carried out. The patients were divided into two groups: group A - the study group and group B - the control group.
