Purpose: To explore the longitudinal changes in choroidal features in myopic children with low to moderate myopia under orthokeratology (ortho-k) treatment.
Methods: Children (n = 80) aged 8-12 years with spherical equivalent refraction of -1.00 to -6.
Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of microperimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), as well as their structure-function association.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 32 eyes from 32 participants with CSNB, comprising 18 with complete CSNB and 14 with incomplete CSNB, along with 36 eyes from 36 CSNB-unaffected controls matched for age, sex, and spherical equivalent. Using MP-3 microperimetry, central retinal sensitivity was assessed within a 20° field, distributed across six concentric rings (0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, and 10°).
Article Synopsis
- Previous research has linked various ocular parameters with myopia, but this study focuses specifically on the relationship between pupil diameter and myopia in preschoolers, an area that has not been well explored before.
- The study analyzed data from over 650,000 preschoolers, examining their pupil size and refraction to determine associations with myopia, using advanced machine learning techniques like Random Forest and XGBoost for accuracy.
- Results indicated that preschoolers with myopia had smaller pupil diameters compared to non-myopic peers, confirming a significant nonlinear relationship that remained consistent even after adjusting for other factors.
