Purpose: To assess test-retest repeatability of the accommodative response (AR) in children with and without amblyopia and adults using the Grand Seiko autorefractor.

Design: Prospective reliability assessment.

Methods: Test-retest of accommodation was obtained while participants viewed 20/150 sized letters at 33 cm using the Grand Seiko autorefractor in children 5 to <11 years with amblyopia (n=24) and without amblyopia (n=36), and adults 18 to <35 years (n=34). Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement (LOA) and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to assess repeatability and reliability. The AR between the fellow and amblyopic eyes of children with amblyopia and eye 1 and eye 2 of the visually normal participants was assessed using group comparisons.

Results: The 95% LOA of the AR was greatest in the amblyopic eyes (-1.25 diopters [D], 1.62 D) of children with amblyopia. The 95% LOA were similar between the fellow eyes (-0.88 D, 0.74 D) of children with amblyopia and both eyes of the children without amblyopia (eye 1: -0.68 D, 0.71 D; eye 2: -0.59 D, 0.70 D) and the adults (eye 1: 95% LOA = -0.49 D, 0.45 D; eye 2: LOA = -0.66 D, 0.67 D). ICCs revealed the Grand Seiko autorefractor as a reliable instrument for measuring AR.

Conclusions: The Grand Seiko autorefractor was more repeatable and reliable when measuring the AR in children and adults without amblyopia than in the amblyopic eye in children with amblyopia. It is recommended that multiple measures of the AR be obtained in amblyopic eyes to improve the precision of measures.

The peripheral retinal refractive state plays an important role in eye growth and development and is closely related to the development of myopia. Existing methods for measuring the peripheral retinal refractive state are cumbersome and can only detect in a limited range. To address the above shortcomings, this paper proposes a retinal refractive state detection method using optical refractive compensation imaging.

Peripheral Eye Length Evaluation in Myopic Children Undergoing Orthokeratology Treatment for 12 Months Using MRI.

Clin Optom (Auckl)

February 2024

Department of Electrical, Electronics and Systems, Faculty of Engineering and Built, UKM, Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia.

Purpose: To investigate changes in peripheral eye length (PEL) in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology (Ortho-K) treatment for 12 months using MRI. The results were compared to single vision spectacle wearers (SVS).

Patients And Methods: A total of 70 children with myopia (aged 8-9 years old) were recruited.

Purpose: This study compares the trends of changes in corneal asphericity, corneal and total aberrations and peripheral refraction in myopic eyes after excimer laser and orthokeratology correction.

Material And Methods: Aberrometry (OPD-Scan III; Nidek, Japan) was performed in 63 patients (126 eyes) with moderate and high myopia before and after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (Femto-LASIK; 88 eyes, group 1) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK; 38 eyes, group 2). Peripheral refraction (Grand Seiko AutoRef/Keratometer) at 15° and 30° from the center of the fovea was observed in 12 patients of group 1 and in 18 patients with a background of orthokeratology correction (group 3).

Introduction: This study evaluated novel automatic dual rotational Risley prisms (ADRRPs) as a vergence exercise tool for patients with myopia to improve accommodative lag and accommodative facility.

Methods: Participants with myopia aged 20-24 years were recruited. After vergence exercises with prisms (treatment group) or plano lenses (control group) using ADRRPs for 10 min, measurements were taken using an open-field autorefractor (Grand Seiko WAM-5500) at viewing distances of 0.
