Purpose: The lack of consistent data formatting for visual acuity in electronic medical records has led to inefficient data extraction and analysis.
Methods: Prior acuity efforts were reviewed and analyzed relative to alpha-designated visual acuity. Prominent electronic medical record formatting was reviewed.
Results: A table was generated facilitating the assignment of digital values to alpha acuities for metric and United States designation including centered steady maintained for infants and counting fingers, hand motions, light perception, and no light perception for patients with low vision.
Discussion: Consistent and usable visual acuity data should lead to better research and eventually improve physician burn-out. .

Deformities, body asymmetries, and muscle contractures are common consequences of atypical postural patterns in children with c ongenital Zika syndrome (CZS). This study aimed to evaluate the posture of children with CZS, considering their neurological and visual impairments. Ophthalmological assessment included binocular best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Teller Acuity Cards II (TAC II) and an ocular motility evaluation.

This study compares the long-term intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of standalone MINIject (iSTAR Medical, Belgium) suprachoroidal implantation and two iStent (Glaukos, CA, USA) trabecular bypass implantation using a systematic review and meta-analysis. Systematic review of standalone implantation of MINIject or iStent inject with at least 24 months of follow up. The mean and standard deviation of IOP and the number of IOP-lowering medications at baseline and at 24 months were extracted.

Age-related conditions, such as being misinformed, having limited oral health literacy, and the loss of manual dexterity, autonomy, or visual acuity, may act as barriers to oral health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oral hygiene instruction methods on oral hygiene and the self-perception of oral health in older adults. This randomized controlled trial included participants aged 65 and older who completed a questionnaire on socio-economic factors, self-perceived oral health, and oral hygiene behaviours.
