Clinical Relevance: For a correct spectacle prescription, accommodation spasm should not be overlooked in the measurements made using an autorefractometer. Although this can be easily understood with cycloplegia, it is not practical. Therefore, investigating practical methods that can predict excess accommodation will be useful in clinical practice.
Background: To evaluate the performance of a photoscreener in detecting pseudo-myopia due to accommodation spasm and whether it eliminates the need for cycloplegia.
Methods: Study was conducted in Van Training and Research Hospital. The manifest refraction of the patients was measured using an by an autorefractometer followed by a photoscreener before cycloplegia. Cycloplegic refraction errors were detected using an autorefractometer. Patients with pseudo-myopia due to accommodation spasm were diagnosed by observing a significant hyperopic shift in cycloplegic autorefractometer values compared to the non-cycloplegic values and were included in study. Cycloplegic autorefractometer and non-cycloplegic photoscreener measurements were compared.
Results: The mean non-cycloplegic autorefractometer values were as follows: --6.34 ± 1.29D, -0.42 ± 0.58D, and -6.55 ± 1.36D for spherical, cylindrical, and spherical equivalents, respectively. These values were 0.23 ± 0.63D, -0.21 ± 0.41D, and 0.11 ± 0.73D for cycloplegic autorefractometer measurements, respectively. Cycloplegic autorefractometer values showed a significant hyperopic shift of 6.57 ± 1.26D and 6.67 ± 1.34D for spherical and spherical equivalents, respectively, compared to non-cycloplegic values (p < 0.001 for both). There was no significant difference between non-cycloplegic photoscreener and cycloplegic autorefractometer measurements for spherical, cylindrical, and spherical equivalents (p = 0.126, p = 0.078, and p = 0.053, respectively). . There was agreement between the measurements in the Bland-Altman graph.
Conclusion: There was consistency between non-cycloplegic photoscreener and cycloplegic autorefractometer measurements in patients with pseudomyopia due to accommodation spasm. Therefore, photoscreener measurements can be a fast, practical, cost-effective examination method for screening these patients without the need for cycloplegia.

Objectives: This study aimed to generate new qualitative insights to understand the rehabilitation needs of people living with a confirmed or presumed diagnosis of ischaemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), explore which aspects of current cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation programmes could meet the needs of people with INOCA and where adjustments (if any) may be appropriate.
Design: Semistructured qualitative interview study.
Participants: Interviews were undertaken (n=17; 88% female, age range 31-69 years) with people with a confirmed or presumed diagnosis of INOCA.

Purpose: Understanding the real-world experience of patients with early breast cancer (eBC) is imperative for optimizing outcomes and evolving patient care. However, there is a lack of patient-level data, hindering clinical development. This social listening study was performed to understand patient insights into symptoms and impacts of hormone therapy (HT) for eBC using posts from patient forums on breastcancer.

Physiological adaptation of the eye to the visual perception of near objects consists of the "near triad": convergence, accommodation, and pupil miosis. Normally, these tend to revert when one stops fixating on a near object. Spasm of the near reflex (SNR) is a pathological phenomenon, which manifests itself by the persistence of the above-mentioned adjustments, which prevents the eye from returning to its relaxed state.

Purpose: Acute acquired concomitant esotropia induced by excessive digital device usage, especially smartphones (SAACE), has been increasing over the past few years. Convergence spasm induced by excessive near work has been suggested as a mechanism. Anatomical differences could also potentially contribute to SAACE onset.
