We studied the myopic shift and anisometropia at 10.6 (+/−0.3) years of age in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study. We found myopic shift continues in the operated eye from 5-10.5 years at a lower rate than that prior to age five years while anisometropia increases proportionally.

Transformative Gamified Binocular Therapy for Unilateral Amblyopia in Young Children: Pilot Prospective Efficacy and Safety Study.

JMIR Serious Games

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, No.83 Fenyang Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, 200031, China, 86 021-64377134.

Background: Amblyopia is a common cause of visual impairment in children. Compliance with traditional treatments for amblyopia is challenging due to negative psychosocial impacts. Recent shifts in amblyopia treatment have moved from suppressing the dominant eye to enhancing binocular visual function.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) when ascending from near sea level to an altitude of 3874 m. The visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and biometric parameters of 20 normal subjects (40 eyes, controls) and 36 subjects who underwent corneal refractive surgery (35 eyes with SMILE and 36 eyes with LASIK) were examined in Chongqing (C, 500 m above sea level) and 7-10 days after a collective travel to Shigatse (S, 3874 m above sea level). SER and corneal thickness (CT) were choosed as main indicators of the stability of corneal refractive surgery at high altitude.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hypoxia and hypobaric conditions on refraction and central corneal thickness on healthy corneas during an ascent without oxygen supplementation above 7000 m (23 000 ft).

Methods: Twelve multinational mountaineers were included in a prospective observational cohort study during an expedition to the Korzhenevskoi Peak (7105 m). The two patients excluded from the study had a history with keratoconus or were current wearers of rigid contact lenses.

Purpose: To investigate whether premyopia is a risk factor for myopia onset and whether outdoor activities can protect against myopia development in premyopic children in the Recess Outside Classroom (ROC) study.

Methods: Nonmyopic schoolchildren aged 7 to 11 years were recruited from two schools in Taiwan. One school implemented the ROC program, which encouraged children to go outdoors during recess.
