Purpose: To investigate compatibility of spectacles with their prescriptions.
Methods: This study was conducted prospectively between October 2007 and March 2009. A total of 1002 spectacles of 1002 individuals were included in the study. First right and then left lenses of the spectacles were measured with a Topcon CL-200 digital lensmeter. Interpupillary distance (PD) of the subjects was measured. Spherical, cylindrical, and axial differences between the prescription and the spectacles were separately calculated for the left and right lenses. Prismatic effect (PE) of the lenses, with decentralized focus according to the pupil, its base direction, and amount of decentralization, were measured.
Results: A total of 505 (50.4%) of the subjects were female and 497 (49.6%) were male. The mean age was 37.0 (range 3-81). The mean PD of the subjects was 59.9 ± 4.09 mm, and mean optical center distance (OCD) of the lenses was 65.6 ± 4.07 mm. The difference between PD and OCD was significant (p < 0.001). While the right spherical, cylindrical, and axial differences and left spherical, cylindrical, and axial differences between the prescription and the spectacles were not significant, the left axial difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The decentralization direction was towards the lower temporal with a percentage of 76.8% on the right and 80.3% on the left lenses. The mean amount of the decentralization was 4.37 ± 2.39 mm on the right and 4.63 ± 2.36 mm on the left.
Conclusion: Dioptric error in the spectacles was quite low. However, there may be a small amount of axis deviation at the time of mounting the lens to the frame. We conclude that asthenopic complaints due to PE caused by the decentralization of the optic center of the lenses are quite important. Examination of the spectacles after they are prepared can be deemed as a solution to reduce asthenopic complaints due to improper spectacles.

Crossed Brainstem Syndrome of the Tectal Plate's Inferior Colliculus Revealing Quadrigeminal Midbrain Cavernous Malformation.

Cavernous malformations are low-flow fragile vascular lesions prone to extralesional bleeding that can occur in the cerebral hemispheres, the brainstem, or the spinal cord. This paper reports the case of a 32-year-old right-handed man with acute-onset headaches associated with right-sided tinnitus, right-sided hemianesthesia, and binocular diplopia related to cranial nerve IV palsy. Neuroimaging displayed left-sided isolated cavernous malformation of the inferior tectal plate, with evidence of extralesional bleeding.

Objectives: To estimate population need and coverage for distance glasses, hearing aids and wheelchairs in India and Cameroon, and to explore the relationship between assistive product (AP) need measured through self-report and clinical impairment assessment.
Methods: Population-based surveys of approximately 4000 people each were conducted in Mahabubnagar district, India and Fundong district, Cameroon. Participants underwent standardised vision, hearing and musculoskeletal impairment assessment to assess need for distance glasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs.
We propose an original variable-focus technology specially designed for presbyopia-correcting adaptive eyeglasses. It has been thought through to offer vision comfort without cutting on aesthetics. It relies on a fluid-filled variable-focus lens (presenting 2 liquids and 1 ultra-thin membrane) assisted by a low-power, high-volume microfluidic actuator.

Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated prototype low-intensity threat laser eye protection (LIT-LEP) spectacles for their effectiveness in US Coast Guard cockpits and compatibility with night vision goggles.
- The research focused on performance in various tasks, including vision acuity, color vision screening, and reaction times, comparing LIT-LEP to a control group without eye protection.
- Results showed that LIT-LEP performed well in most areas, particularly for brightness and color vision, but highlighted some challenges with color discrimination in specific flight display colors, which will inform future design and acquisition decisions.
Awareness of Presbyopia among Rural Female Population in North Karnataka.

Introduction: Presbyopia is an age related loss of lens accommodation resulting in inability to read and/write or to do near work. Though literacy level may be low in rural female population of South India, but household works like sewing, sorting grains and operating mobile phones must be difficult due to presbyopia.
Aim: To determine the awareness of presbyopia in rural females; also, to determine the knowledge levels regarding presbyopia, spectacle coverage and reasons for not wearing spectacles.
