In two experiments we tested the choice blindness phenomenon in adolescents aged 11-16 years (Experiment 1, N = 87) and children aged 7-10 years (Experiment 2, N = 117) for the first time. Analogous to previously reported findings with adult participants, we expected to replicate the robust effect in these age groups. Furthermore, we investigated the hypothesis that self-relevance of choices, defined as the extent to which the self is implicated in a choice, moderates the choice blindness effect in adolescents and children. To this end, we directly compared high and low self-relevance conditions. As expected, the choice blindness effect was robust across age groups. Little support was found for the idea that self-relevance moderates the choice blindness effect. Specifically, no effect of self-relevance on choice blindness was found in adolescents, while the findings in the child sample were inconsistent. Different possible interpretations of the results as well as the possible role of ambiguity for the choice blindness effect are discussed.

Implementation of SICS (small incision cataract surgery) in humanitarian campaigns: Description of the surgical technique and review of the literature.
Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol (Engl Ed)
December 2024

The aim of this article has been, on the one hand, to describe the use of MSICS (manual small incision cataract surgery) for the management of cataracts, especially mature ones, in relation to its particular utility in the field of humanitarian campaigns, for which a description of the MSICS technique has been made, subsequently a review of the available scientific literature has been carried out to verify the results of this technique in comparison with phacoemulsification and extracapsular surgery and to describe the importance of teaching this technique to all cataract surgeons, especially the ones participating in humanitarian campaigns. According to what has been found, MSICS is an excellent surgical technique and according to current evidence it seems to be the choice over phacoemulsification and/or the classic extracapsular technique in hyper mature cataracts, especially in the field of humanitarian campaigns, due to its lower rate of complications and the improvement in visual acuity obtained. According to the studies found, it would be possible for the experienced ophthalmologic surgeon to implement this technique since the learning curve is short.

Importance: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the US. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends annual DR monitoring for all individuals with diabetes, yet monitoring rates remain below 70%.
Objective: To evaluate how patient preferences and expectations about DR monitoring are associated with expected monitoring adherence behaviors.
Awareness and Knowledge of Glaucoma Among the Diabetic Population of Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Cureus
November 2024
College of Dentistry, King Faisal University, Hofuf, SAU.
Article Synopsis
- - Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness, especially concerning for diabetics, yet there is limited awareness about it among the diabetic population in Saudi Arabia, prompting this study to assess current knowledge levels.
- - A survey conducted in March 2024 revealed that 74.3% of participants were unaware of glaucoma, with diabetic individuals showing significantly lower knowledge levels compared to non-diabetics and a clear need for increased awareness efforts.
- - The study's findings indicate a strong association between glaucoma knowledge and factors such as diabetes status and education, suggesting that targeted educational interventions through medical professionals could help improve awareness and early detection.
Ophthalmic complications of injectable facial fillers.
World J Clin Cases

Department of Community Medicine, Patna Medical College, Patna 800004, Bihar, India.
The recently published mini-review article by Miotti is an effort to clarify various aspects regarding the choice between fat grafts and fillers in facial aesthetic surgery. One of the complications associated with the administration of fillers is the possibility of vascular injury and spread of the dermal filler into the orbit, causing unexpected effects at a site distant from that of the initial injection, including ophthalmoplegia, ptosis and even visual compromise. Acute vision loss following filler injection is a devastating complication, occurring in up to 0.

Article Synopsis
- Silicone oil (SO) is commonly used as a vitreous tamponade, but it has known complications, including glaucoma and cataracts, along with increasing cases of unexplained visual loss after SO removal.
- A literature review highlights the chemical properties of SO, its surgical complications, and issues like SO migration and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
- Doctors must weigh the severity of retinal diseases and their own experience when choosing SO, while the search for safer vitreous substitutes remains critical.
