Purpose: To assess the effects of modifying head position and of static ocular counter-rolling (OCR) on abduction and adduction in saccadic eye movements using a head-mounted video-oculographic device.

Study Design: A clinical observational study.

Methods: The peak velocities and amplitude gains of visually guided 12° saccades were binocularly measured in 21 healthy volunteers with their heads in the upright vertical (0°) and horizontal (± 90°, bilateral side-lying) postures, and in 6 participants with their head positions bilaterally tilted by 30°.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to investigate the long-term effects of soft contact lens (SCL) usage on the corneas of Asian individuals, focusing on corneal endothelial density (ECD) and cell shape.
  • The research analyzed data from nearly 9,000 patients who used SCLs for over a year, assessing various factors including age, sex, and duration of lens use.
  • Findings showed that as the duration of SCL use increased, both ECD and the rate of hexagonal cells decreased, while the variation in cell size increased, highlighting the importance of regular eye check-ups for long-term SCL wearers.
