Temporal processing is fundamental to visual perception, yet little is known about how it functions under compromised visual field conditions or whether emotional stimuli, as reported in the literature, can modulate it. This study investigated tempor...
Background: Stevens–Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are rare, life-threatening mucocutaneous disorders often associated with severe ophthalmic complications. Ocular involvement occurs in 50–68% of cases and can...
Visual field (VF) testing is crucial for the management of glaucoma. However, the process is often hindered by technician shortages and reliability issues. In this study, we leveraged machine learning to predict pattern standard deviation (PSD) using...
Aim: The aim of this preliminary study was to explore the visual attention in children with ADHD using eye-tracking, and to identify a relevant quantitative proxy of their attentional control. Methods: Twenty-two children diagnosed with ADHD (aged 7...
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have transformed ophthalmic diagnostics, particularly for retinal diseases. In this prospective, non-randomized study, we evaluated the performance of an AI-based software system against conventional cl...
Presenting information to multiple sensory modalities often facilitates or interferes with processing, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. Using a Stroop-like task, the two reported experiments examined how semantic congruency and incongruency in one...
Background: Transient intraocular pressure (IOP) elevations frequently occur after cataract surgery and may raise concerns, especially in patients susceptible to glaucomatous damage or pressure-related complications. These IOP spikes have also been l...
Vision-based relative pose estimation serves as a core technology for high-precision localization in autonomous vehicles and mobile platforms. To overcome the limitations of conventional three-view pose estimation methods that rely heavily on dense f...
We evaluated the clinical applications of artificial intelligence models in diagnosing corneal diseases, highlighting their performance metrics and clinical potential. A systematic search was conducted for several disease categories: keratoconus (KC)...
Purpose: To evaluate color discrimination in schoolchildren with low birth weight (LBW) and those born full-term and at a weight appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Methods: LBW children aged 5–11 years and school-, grade-, sex-, and age-mat...
This study presents a reanalysis of existing data to clarify how the visual system processes simple dynamic Glass patterns (GPs), with a particular focus on translational configurations. By combining datasets from previous studies, we apply a mixed-e...
Combined trabeculectomy–phacoemulsification is known to provoke more inflammation and yield a poorer long-term efficacy than trabeculectomy alone. This study evaluates whether a similar trend exists for Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation when pe...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with intermittent hypoxia, systemic inflammation, and vascular dysfunction; mechanisms implicated in retinal disease pathogenesis. This real-world retrospective cohort study used data fro...
People with C3 Dense Deposit Disease (C3DDD), a rare autoimmune disease, often also have ocular complications. Due to the rarity of this disease, there is little known about ocular complications in populations across the world. This paper aimed to as...
Our purpose is to evaluate the binocular contrast sensitivity function (CSF) in a presbyopic population and compare the results obtained with four different simultaneous-vision center-near multifocal contact lens (MCL) designs for distance vision und...
Previous studies observed that emotional scenes, presented as distractors, capture attention and interfere with an ongoing task. This behavioral interference has been shown to be elicited by the semantic rather than by the perceptual properties of a...
This report presents two cases of herpes simplex keratitis recurrence after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in patients on herpetic prophylaxis due to recurrent herpetic keratitis. A 58-year-old man with a history of a previous penetrating keratoplasty pre...
Background: Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in the Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase Receptor 1 gene, characterized by recurrent episodes of infections and...
This multicenter study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of third-generation trabecular micro-bypass implantation (iStent® infinite) combined with phacoemulsification (n = 233 eyes). Key outcomes through 12 months included the mean change in...
Cataracts remain one of the leading causes of reversible blindness in low- and middle-income countries such as Ecuador. This study assessed the efficacy of Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) and analyzed sociodemographic and clinical factors asso...
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide new perspectives on the role of visual mental imagery in how we image the world, past, present and future [...]
Trabeculectomy with mitomycin C is a key surgical intervention for managing glaucoma when conservative treatments fail. The success of trabeculectomy is influenced by various factors, including preoperative ocular characteristics like conjunctival va...
This study analyzed the impact of corneal epithelial refraction on the correction of hyperopic and mixed astigmatism eyes treated with transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy. From the epithelial refraction provided by the diagnostic device, OCT...
Limbal dermoids are congenital, benign, choristomatous growths affecting the corneal-limbal junction. Conventional excision techniques often result in persistent epithelial defects, corneal thinning, and vascularization due to sectoral limbal stem ce...
Introduction: Visual impairment impacts millions of people around the world, with the vast majority of problems being treatable. Disadvantaged communities are unable to utilize the same resources to treat these problems due to a lack of knowledge or...
Dry eye disease (DED) is a hallmark of primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) and often resists conventional treatments like lubricant eye drops. Insulin nanoemulsions offer a potential solution by improving drug penetration and retention on the...
Reports of individual differences in vividness of visual mental imagery (VMI) scores raise complex questions: Are Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) score differences actually measuring anything? What functions do these differences serv...
Evidence based practice enhances healthcare delivery and prevents unsafe procedures. While competency based assessments of resident cataract surgery are standard, evidence based analysis of refractive outcomes remains underutilized in educational cur...
Pupil cycle time (PCT) estimates the dynamics of a biofeedback loop established between pupil size and stimulus luminance, size or colour. The PCT is useful for probing the functional integrity of the retinopupillary circuits, and is therefore potent...
The effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) depend on stimulation parameters such as intensity, location, frequency, and duration. In clinical practice, these parameters are often adapted from studies carried out in healthy individuals. Ho...
