Purpose: To test on humans an eye tracker based on the use of a contact lens with active infrared sources and to evaluate whether this system can track the eye behind the eyelid.
Methods: The system is made up of a scleral contact lens embedding two vertical cavity self-emitting lasers (VCSELs) remotely driven by eyewear comprised of electronics and cameras. Tests on humans were carried out on five subjects to assess performance and to determine whether the VCSEL spot could be detected behind the eyelid.
Results: The lens was worn and used without difficulty. The device allowed accurate tracking of the eye (0.83° ± 0.59°), and the VCSELs can be detected behind closed eyelids.
Conclusions: These results confirm those previously obtained in terms of tracking and demonstrate that the device can be used safely to monitor eye movements even when the eyelids are closed.
Translational Relevance: The VCSELs could be useful for a variety of applications to reduce data missed due to blinks, particularly with regard to interactive systems, fundamental studies on closed eye movements, or finding ways to improve clinical diagnostic precision for disorders of consciousness.

Purpose: This study compares and evaluates the parameters of iridotrabecular contact (ITC) in patients with primary angle closure disease (PACD) with natural lenses and pseudophakia based on anterior segment imaging data from swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Material And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 92 patients aged 32 to 89 years, and included 56 patients with PACD (43 with natural lenses and 13 with pseudophakia) and 36 in the control group (21 with natural lenses and 15 with pseudophakia). All participants underwent SS-OCT (CASIA2; Tomey Corporation, Japan), which included an assessment of the ITC Index and ITC Area.
In this Prentice Medal Award lecture, I shall recount my career in vision science in the context of three types of inspiration-"being inspired," "personal inspiration," and "inspiring others." My research has derived inspiration from a variety of sources, such as contemporary and historical research doyens in the ophthalmic field and beyond, artists, Greek philosophers, and abstract constructs such as principles and adages. A given moment of inspiration can range from being a profound experience to a subtle realization during a quiet moment of reflection.

Purpose: To study change in the contact of intraocular lens (IOL) with the posterior capsule with respect to the vertical versus horizontal orientation of the haptic-optic junction of the IOL using intraoperative spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods: Fifty eyes of 50 patients with senile immature cataract underwent topical phacoemulsification procedure with implantation of a monofocal IOL by a single experienced surgeon. The Rescan 700 SD-OCT system was used for intraoperative imaging.
Blepharoptosis Associated With the Wearing of Hard Contact Lenses in Keratoconic Eyes.

Ophthalmology, International University of Health and Welfare, Chiba, JPN.
Keratoconus is a condition that causes progressive thinning and anterior protrusion of the cornea. Because of its irregular astigmatism, mild to moderate keratoconus is corrected with hard contact lenses (HCLs), but blepharoptosis due to the long-term wearing of HCLs is often a problem. In this study, we investigated blepharoptosis in HCL wearers with keratoconus.
