Article Synopsis
  • The study compared the effectiveness of two concentrations of proparacaine eye drops (0.5% vs 0.25%) for topical anesthesia in ocular procedures involving 137 patients.
  • Results showed that patients using the 0.5% drops reported lower mean pain scores during the procedure compared to those using the 0.25% drops, but the difference was not statistically significant.
  • A high percentage of patients in both groups expressed a preference to use the same anesthetic for future procedures, and no significant adverse effects were reported during the study.

Optical biometry has fundamentally transformed cataract surgery, and 2024 marked 25 years since the introduction of the first optical biometer. In the early 1980 s, Fercher and colleagues pioneered the optical noncontact eye length measurement, leading to the first interferometric A-scan of the eye. This innovation, patented and later developed by Zeiss, culminated in the release of the IOLMaster in 1999, enabling more accurate and reproducible eye diagnostics.

Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China; Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Electronic address:

We investigate the ocular dimensions and shape by using Lenstar900 (LS900), A-scan ultrasonography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in highly myopic Macaca fascicularis. The ocular dimensions data of LS900, A-scan ultrasonography and MRI was assessed from 8 eyes (4 adult male cynomolgus macaque) with extremely high myopia (≤-1000DS) and compared by means of coefficients of concordance and 95% limits of agreement. Multiple regression analysis was performed to explore the associations between ocular biometry, volume, refraction and inter-instrument discrepancies.

Long-range frequency-domain optical delay line based on a spinning tilted mirror for low-cost ocular biometry.

Biomed Opt Express

December 2023

Instituto de Óptica 'Daza de Valdés', Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (IO, CSIC), Madrid, Spain.

Optical biometers are routinely used to measure intraocular distances in ophthalmic applications such as cataract surgery planning or myopia monitoring. However, due to their high cost and reduced transportability, access to them for screening and surgical planning is still limited in low-resource and remote settings. To increase patients' access to optical biometry we propose a novel low-cost frequency-domain optical delay line (FD-ODL) based on an inexpensive stepper motor spinning a tilted mirror, for integration into a time-domain (TD)-biometer, amenable to a compact footprint.

Ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) in canine -open-angle glaucoma (-OAG).

Front Bioeng Biotechnol

December 2023

Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, United States.

The role of ocular rigidity and biomechanics remains incompletely understood in glaucoma, including assessing an individual's sensitivity to intraocular pressure (IOP). In this regard, the clinical assessment of ocular biomechanics represents an important need. The purpose of this study was to determine a possible relationship between the G661R missense mutation in the gene and the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA), the difference between diastolic and systolic intraocular pressure (IOP), in a well-established canine model of open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Admission ultrasonography as a means of identifying unrecognized fetal compromise in term singleton pregnancies at the onset of labor - a feasibility study.

J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med

December 2023

Academic Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, The Coombe Hospital & Trinity College, University of Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Objectives: Apparently uncomplicated low-risk pregnancies, especially first time births, account for a significant proportion of adverse birth outcomes. Improved risk stratification with a simple bedside scan on admission in early labor could potentially reduce adverse intrapartum outcomes. The aim of this feasibility study was to assess a cohort of low-risk subjects with admission ultrasonography at the onset of labor with a view to conducting a future randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Significance: The ratios of diopters of change in refractive error produced per millimeter of eye elongation (D/mm) are rarely those predicted from geometric optics because of changes in other ocular components. Quantifying this optical compensation in millimeters instead of ratios reveals some important principles about eye growth and refractive error.

Purpose: The study purpose was to sort total vitreous chamber elongation into millimeters that either contributed (uncompensated) or did not contribute to change in refractive error (compensated).
