Background: The aim was to evaluate the effect of transient glare on shape discrimination threshold (SDT) in myopic adults.
Methods: A total of 162 myopic subjects were enrolled. Of these, 121 had low to mid myopia (-1.00 D to -6.00 D) and 41 had high myopia (-6.13 D to -10.25 D). All subjects had corrected visual acuity of 6/6 or better, and only data for the right eye were included in the study. SDTs were measured with circular D4 (fourth derivative of Gaussian) radial frequency patterns with a radial frequency of four, peak spatial frequency of three cpds, and mean radius of 1.5 degrees. SDTs were measured under two conditions, with and without the presence of transient glare while the stimulus was displayed (duration = 500 ms).
Results: Without transient glare, SDTs were not different between the low-mid (23.84 ± 6.02 arcsec) and high myopia groups (25.17 ± 5.98 arcsec, p = 0.16, Mann-Whitney test). With transient glare, SDTs in all subjects became significantly higher (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). SDTs in the high myopia group (55.53 ± 18.59 arcsec) became significantly higher than those in the low to mid myopia group (47.55 ± 15.06 arcsec, p = 0.014, Mann-Whitney test). The increments were significantly higher in the high myopia group (28.94 arcsec versus 20.88 arcsec, p = 0.031, Mann-Whitney test). Multiple regression showed that SDTs with glare were significantly associated with SDTs without glare (p < 0.001) and the presence of high myopia (p = 0.015).
Conclusions: Transient glare significantly increased SDTs in all myopic subjects, with the increment in subjects with high myopia being significantly larger than those in subjects with low to mid myopia.

Sensitization and Habituation of Hyper-Excitation to Constant Presentation of Pattern-Glare Stimuli.

Background/objectives: Pattern glare, associated with cortical hyperexcitability, induces visual distortions and discomfort, particularly in individuals susceptible to migraines or epilepsy. While previous research has primarily focused on transient EEG responses to patterned stimuli, this study aims to investigate how continuous presentation of pattern-glare stimuli affects neural adaptation over both fine (seconds) and coarse (entire experiment) temporal scales.
Methods: EEG recordings were obtained from 40 healthy participants exposed to horizontal square-wave gratings at three spatial frequencies presented continuously for three seconds each across multiple trials.
The effect of sunglass filters on contrast sensitivity, monocular eye closure, and blinking rate in people with intermittent exotropia.

Clinical Relevance: Transient monocular eye closure and photosensitivity under bright light have been reported in people with intermittent exotropia (IXT). The exact mechanism of these symptoms has not been established.
Background: This study examines the effect of sunglass filters on contrast sensitivity (CS), transient monocular eye closure, and blinking rate under bright light in people with IXT.

Photo-Rewritable Glaring Patterns Composed of Stripe Domains in Nematic Elastomers.

Dynamic ordered micropatterns in polymeric materials provide an effective approach for the on-demand tuning of optical properties toward a smart optical material. In this study, it is shown that glaring patterns exhibiting strong anisotropic light diffusion can be developed at specific locations in nematic liquid-crystal elastomers with light-sensitive azobenzene units. Glaring originates from the stripe domains of the nematic directors that self-organize in light-irradiated regions after a simple uniaxial stretching and releasing process without any complicated lithographic technique.

Introduction: A recent Cochrane review found no difference in visual acuity outcomes between femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and LASIK using mechanical microkeratomes (MMKs). This study compares the flap thickness and risk of complications related to flap creation using femtosecond lasers and MMKs.
