Background: Trabeculectomy is the standard surgical treatment for advanced glaucoma, yet the relationship between postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and long-term structural preservation remains unclear. We investigated longitudinal changes in...
Background: The rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a currently indispensable pre-clinical model for fundamental discovery and translational research in glaucoma surgery. While not fully representative of the human eye, the rabbit often serves as the s...
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare inherited retinal disorder in which fundus changes may be subtle and heterogeneous, limiting detection from color fundus images. This study evaluated multiple machine learning architectures for binary-RP versus hea...
Nd laser posterior capsulotomy is the standard treatment for posterior capsule opacification following cataract surgery. Although generally considered safe, inadvertent laser impacts on the intraocular lens (IOL) optic may induce permanent surface de...
Background: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with self-reported visual difficulty and uptake of spectacle/contact lens correction among women of reproductive age in Malawi. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional secondary analysis...
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in vision science are commonly evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha, yet Rasch-based statistics may provide different information about their reliability. This study compared Cronbach’s alpha, a Class...
Studies suggest that anticipation in sports-related tasks is better if the task maintains the coupling of perception and action required in competition. Study 1 addressed the question of whether gaze tracking varies between coupled tasks in baseball...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) extends beyond the brain to the visual system, offering a promising window for pathology, monitoring, and intervention. This review synthesizes evidence on AD-related visual impairments across molecular, cellular, circu...
Purpose: Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectatic disorder that causes visual impairment, particularly in adolescents and young adults. Evidence on its epidemiology in Latin America and the Caribbean remains limited. This study aimed to estimate...
Despite the widespread use of orthokeratology (ortho-k), the diurnal behavior of corneal geometry after lens removal remains unclear. This prospective observational study evaluated diurnal variations in corneal geometry, refractive error, and visual...
The magnitude and short-term recovery of residual objective myopic bias after a brief, clinically plausible over-minus exposure during distance refraction remain insufficiently quantified. This study quantified the short-term residual objective myopi...
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial condition increasingly affecting young populations, including medical students, due to intensive screen use, prolonged near work, and demanding academic environments. This study aimed to estimate the prevalen...
Background/Objectives: High astigmatism remains challenging in keratorefractive lenticule extraction because small errors in centration or cyclotorsion may affect astigmatic correction. This study evaluated early refractive and astigmatic vector outc...
Spatial working memory (SWM) has been characterised as a flexible resource that determines the precision with which memoranda are stored. The ‘cortical map’ proposal predicts that resource allocation, and therefore mnemonic precision, is...
Myopia is an increasingly common refractive disorder in children, with growing concern regarding the potential role of screen time and digital device use in its development and progression. This systematic review assessed the association between scre...
Combined intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation with corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) aims to improve optical regularity and reduce the risk of ectatic progression in selected eyes with keratoconus. In this retrospective, single-center, c...
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia that results in substantial visual impairment and imposes a significant functional and psychosocial burden on affected individuals. Despite evidence suggesting earlier onset and a potentially more aggressi...
Physical activity levels, hallucination experiences, sleep quality, and perceived stress were assessed using a survey administered to 57 adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Physical activity demonstrated a significant...
This study aims to address whether a new visual–motor-based learning paradigm with music can potentially promote neuroplasticity and create new interventional tools, building upon prior research that shows behavioral and putative neural changes...
Background: Visio-spatial skills (VSS) are fundamental perceptual–cognitive capacities that enable athletes to process dynamic visual information, interpret spatial relationships, and execute precise motor responses under competitive conditions...
Purpose: This study was conducted to assess retinal responses in myopic and non-myopic participants after exposure to repeated low-level red-light therapy (RLRT) of 3 min and 1 min duration to see if response differs with exposure time and refractive...
