Purpose: To evaluate efficacy and patient satisfaction of presbyopic hyperopes treated with centered PresbyLASIK (multifocality centered on near vision) by the SUPRACOR technique (Technolas Perfect Vision).
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out at Percy Army Teaching Hospital from September 2011 through September 2013. Fifty-nine eyes of 29 patients were included and underwent PresbyLASIK. Study parameters included uncorrected binocular distance (DVA) and near (NVA) visual acuity, aberrometry, central corneal curvature by corneal topography (bump), and patient satisfaction (questionnaire).
Results: Mean uncorrected binocular visual acuity was found to be 0.09 logmar for DVA and 0.22 for NVA on post-operative day one, 0.04 logmar for DVA and 0.17 for NVA at 1 month post-operatively, 0.15 logmar for DVA and 0.19 for NVA at 3 months post-operatively, and -0.02 logmar for DVA and 0.18 for NVA at 6 months post-operatively. Mean central corneal curvature was found to be 2.56±0.9 diopters. There were significantly more higher-order aberrations in the central 5mm post-operatively (P<0.01). Among the patients undergoing bilateral SUPRACOR LASIK, 79% were entirely satisfied with the surgery, and all patients would recommend the procedure to their family and friends. Eighty-six percent of these patients acheived total spectacle independence at distance and near.
Conclusion: SUPRACOR PresbyLASIK is a method of choice in overcoming spectacle dependence in presbyopic hyperopes.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of vision screening and detection of ocular abnormalities conducted by teachers in school children in Jordan compared with vision testing by optometrists and ocular disease identification by ophthalmologists.
Methods: A non-random, purposive sampling strategy where 6-year-old and 15-year-old school children from three schools in Amman, Jordan were included. Twenty-two teachers were trained to conduct visual acuity screening using the 0.

Introduction: The vestibular system's contribution to spatial learning and memory abilities may be clarified using the virtual Morris Water Maze Task (vMWMT). This is important because of the connections between the vestibular system and the hippocampus area. However, there is ongoing debate over the role of the vestibular system in developing spatial abilities.

Introduction: Hyperopia is associated with reduced vision and educational outcomes in schoolchildren. This study explored the impact of clinically significant hyperopia (≥+2.00 D) on visual function in schoolchildren and compared the ability of different screening tests (alone and in combination) to detect this level of hyperopia.
