Aim: To investigate the effect of using base-out prisms on nystagmus, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with albinism.
Methods: In this interventional study, patients with albinism who had nystagmus were enrolled. A comprehensive eye exam was conducted, which included refraction, assessment of far and near vision acuity, and contrast sensitivity measurements. To check for the nystagmus, a videonystagmography was used. The tests were carried out in three modes: without any correction, with optical correction, and with correction using base-out prisms in three different powers, including 4, 6, and 8 prism diopters.
Results: Totally 23 patients with average age of 28.65±12.13 were examined. It was found that the use of optical correction and optical correction with prisms resulted in a statistically significant improvement in both far (at least: <0.006) and near visual acuity (at least: <0.001 except for prism 8; <0.02). In addition, contrast sensitivity significantly improved at all low and medium frequencies except for correction with prism 8 in frequency 1.5 (at least: <0.01 except for prism 4, frequency 6; =0.04). no significant improvement was observed in the evaluation of nystagmus characteristics.
Conclusion: Optical correction with a prism can improve visual acuity and some spatial frequencies, but failed to improve nystagmus parameters.

Background: Dementia and visual impairment are both associated with reduced mobility and impaired functioning in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Cognitive deficits in older adults have more difficulties in performing daily tasks, increase the risk of fear of participation and may lead to injury (e.g.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fixation stability deficits in anisometropic amblyopia and various visual functions, as well as the underlying retinal structure.
Methods: All 164 patients with anisometropic amblyopia were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) was measured using the qCSF method, whereas the MP-3 microperimeter was used to assess fixation stability and locate the preferred retinal locus.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of scleral contact lens (SL) wear on the visual quality and the ocular surface wettability in myopic patients with regular corneas.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled study enrolled a total of 80 myopes with regular corneas. Subjects were randomly allocated to wear SL or rigid corneal lens (RCL) for 3 months.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the changes in postlens fluid optical density, timing and quantity of lens settling, and the clinical performance between two different mini-scleral lenses.
Methods: Seventeen eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus were fitted with a 15-mm mini-scleral lens (AirKone Scleral Lenses; Laboratoire LCS, Normandy, France), and 15 eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus were fitted with 16.5-mm mini-scleral lenses (Misa Lenses; Microlens Contactlens Technology, Arnhem, The Netherlands).
