During the experiment with 90- and 7-day isolation and confinement tests were applied to evaluate, along with static, expositional and dynamic (DVA) visual acuity using automated system VZGLIAD (Gaze). Test distance was 1 meter. To assess DVA, the subjects were requested to make oscillatory movements with the head in the horizontal plane with a metronome frequency at 1 Hz. An upward trend in static visual acuity was interpreted as a result of myopization engendered by exposure to confinement and video display. A significant loss in expositional (and dynamic) visual acuity was stated in the main (p > 0.01) and visiting (p > 0.1) crews. These shifts could be associated with the dominance of inhibitory processes in the visual cortex due to monotony of the visual environment and insufficient oculomotor and accommodative activities.

Research Nucleus in Neuroscience and Behavior and Applied Neuroscience, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: Amblyopia is a cortical neurological disorder caused by abnormal visual experiences during the critical period for visual development. Recent works have shown that, in addition to the well-known visual alterations, such as changes in visual acuity, several perceptual aspects of vision are affected. This study aims to analyze and compare the effects of different types of amblyopia on visual color processing and determine whether these effects are correlated with visual acuity.

VST Centre for Glaucoma Care, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Kallam Anji Reddy Campus, Hyderabad, India.
Purpose: To evaluate intermediate-term outcomes and complications associated with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in eyes with type 1 keratoprosthesis (KPro).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 43 eyes of 43 Indian patients with type 1 KPro and AGV from 2009 to 2021 with a minimum of 6-months of follow-up. Five eyes that had AGV before KPro were excluded, leaving 38 eyes for analysis.
Prevalence and Clinical Associations of Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-like Structures in Craniosynostosis.
J Neuroophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology (JGJ-C, TE, Y-HC, LRD, RAG), Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts; Frank H. Netter Medical School (JGJ-C), North Haven, Connecticut; and Department of Anesthesiology (DZ), Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: Patients with craniosynostosis are at high risk of developing elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) causing papilledema and secondary optic atrophy. Diagnosing and monitoring optic neuropathy is challenging because of multiple causes of vision loss including exposure keratopathy, amblyopia, and cognitive delays that limit examination. Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are an optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding reported in association with papilledema and optic neuropathy.

Macular degeneration (MD), which affects the central visual field including the fovea, has a profound impact on acuity and oculomotor control. We used a motion extrapolation task to investigate the contribution of various factors that potentially impact motion estimation, including the transient disappearance of the target into the scotoma, increased position uncertainty associated with eccentric target positions, and increased oculomotor noise due to the use of a non-foveal locus for fixation and for eye movements. Observers performed a perceptual baseball task where they judged whether the target would intersect or miss a rectangular region (the plate).
