Introduction: This study tested whether multiple traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) alter the structure of the Henle fiber layer (HFL) and degrade cell-specific function in the retinas of human participants.
Methods: A cohort of case participants with multiple TBIs and a cohort of pair-matched control participants were prospectively recruited. Directional optical coherence tomography and scanning laser polarimetry measured HFL thickness and phase retardation, respectively.
Significance: When worn for myopia control in children, soft multifocal contact lenses with a +2.50 D add reduced the accommodative response over a 3-year period, but wearing them for more than 4 years did not affect accommodative amplitudes, lag, or facility.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the accommodative response to a 3D stimulus between single-vision, +1.
This study tested whether repeated traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) alter the objective structure or the objective function of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in human subjects recruited from an optometry clinic. Case subjects ( = 25) with a history of repeated TBIs (4.12 ± 2.

- The study aimed to determine if certain characteristics of Meibomian glands can predict dry eye disease (DED) in contact lens wearers.
- A total of 112 participants were analyzed, with 18.8% diagnosed with DED; specific gland metrics showed some marginal predictive ability but none were clinically significant.
- The conclusion highlights that while abnormal gland morphology may indicate DED, the evaluated characteristics alone are not reliable for detection in current and former contact lens users.
Significance: Physically unhealthy days assessments in national health surveillance datasets represent a useful metric for quantifying quality-of-life differences in those with and without vision impairment. Disproportionately poorer physical health in the visually impaired population provides further rationale for the inclusion of vision care in multidisciplinary approaches to chronic disease management.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the association between vision impairment and health-related quality of life using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
