Our purpose is to develop and validate a new iPad-based contrast sensitivity (CS) test for measuring the contrast sensitivity function at near vision (Optopad-CSF). A total of 200 eyes of 100 healthy subjects (ages 17–63) were evaluated in a co...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects various aspects of visual function compromising patients’ functional vision and quality of life. Compared to visual acuity, contrast sensitivity correlates better with vision-related quality of life and...
Purpose: A challenge in ocular preventive medicine is identification of patients with early pathological retinal damage that might benefit from nutritional intervention. The purpose of this study is to evaluate retinal thinning (RT) in early atrophic...
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...
In recent years, there has been intense development of digital diagnostic tests for vision. All of these tests must be validated for clinical use. The current study enrolled 51 healthy individuals (age 19–72 years) in which achromatic contrast...
To address the issue of low detection accuracy caused by low contrast in color Mura defects, this paper proposes a color Mura defect detection method based on channel contrast sensitivity function (CSF) filtering. The RGB image of the captured liquid...
Limbal dermoid (LD) is a congenital ocular tumor that causes amblyopia and damages visual acuity (VA) and visual function. This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of perceptual learning (PL) toward improving contrast sensitivity function (CSF)...
Purpose: To compare the changes in visual and ocular parameters in individuals with retinal drusen who were treated with two commercially available nutritional supplements. Methods: An open-label, single-center, randomized, parallel-treatment with an...
The detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) oligoclonal bands (OCB) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by isoelectric focusing (IEF) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Over the last decade, the results of our clinical research have sug...
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging is used to represent scenes with a greater dynamic range of luminance on a standard dynamic range display. Usually, HDR images are synthesized through base–detail separations. The base layer is used for tone com...
The human visual system (HVS), affected by viewing distance when perceiving the stereo image information, is of great significance to study of stereoscopic image quality assessment. Many methods of stereoscopic image quality assessment do not have co...
A 70-year-old Japanese woman with longstanding hearing loss and asthma developed floating sensations, left finger numbness, and postural instability one day after influenza vaccination, leading to hospital admission. Neurological examinations showed...
The mathematical representation of discrete signals is classically governed by linear basis transforms, such as the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), which treat spectral projection as a rigid, deterministic geometric operation. Under this paradigm,...
Background/Objectives: This study investigated intraocular pressure (IOP) changes after a blood draw in older adults considering sex, age, and baseline IOP. Methods: Fifty-three subjects (54.7% females; age: 68.50 ± 4.46 years; Visual Function...
Pegbovigrastim is a commercial long-acting analog of bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rbG-CSF) that promotes the increased count and functionality of polymorphonuclear cells in dairy cows around the time of parturition. We hypothesized t...
