Filter by:This study will include primary school children to evalute their refraction and follow those who will wear glasses to detect their compliance. Visual acuity will be measured using autorefractometer after cycloplegic eye drops 3 times and glasses will be prescribed for those who are needed. Follow up of the students to detect their compliance of wearing correction.
Body size and eye function play an essential role in adapting to the environment and human survival. Growth hormone is commonly recognized by its effect on the height of individuals; Although from an evolutionary perspective, the effects of growth hormone on eye development are more important. Although the effect of growth hormone on eye development has not been accurately determined, the results of a number of studies suggest the effect of growth hormone on eye development. Despite the large number of studies that have investigated the effects of growth hormone on height growth, there are few studies that have investigated the effects of growth hormone on the eye. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted to investigate the effect of growth hormone on ocular findings of patients with early or precocious puberty. Therefore, we intend to investigate the effect of growth hormone on ocular findings of patients with early or precocious puberty.
The high prevalence of myopia has become a global public health problem. The study amied to investigate the prevalence and progression of myopia associated with social environmental factors in Tianjin, a Chinese megacity in north China.
Anisometropic amblyopia among children in school age may affects quality of life and educational progress of children.
GoCheck has developed and deployed a home-based visual acuity test that may be used in-office or in residence. The test methodology utilizes modified ATS and ETDRS protocols with Sloan optotypes, crowding bars and sophisticated algorithms. The objective of this study is to determine if the results of the GoCheck visual acuity test performed in an office setting correlate to the same testing when implemented in the residence
This cohort study aimed to assess the change of refractive status in Chinese school children.
Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) live with visual deficits due, in part, to elevated levels of higher-order optical aberrations (HOA). HOAs are distortions/abnormalities in the structure of the refractive components of the eye (i.e. the cornea and the lens) that, if present, can result in poor quality focus on the retina, thus negatively impacting vision. HOAs in the general population are overall low, and thus not ordinarily considered during the eye examination and determination of refractive correction. However, for some populations, such as individuals with DS, HOAs are elevated, and thus the commonly used clinical techniques to determine refractive corrections may fall short. The most common clinical technique for refractive correction determination is subjective refraction whereby a clinician asks the patient to compare different lens options and select the lens that provides the best visual outcome. Given the cognitive demands of the standard subjective refraction technique, clinicians rely on objective clinical techniques to prescribe optical corrections for individuals with DS. This is problematic, because it may result in errors for eyes with elevated HOA given that these techniques do not include measurement of the HOAs. The proposed research evaluates the use of objective wavefront measurements that quantify the HOAs of the eye as a basis for refractive correction determination for patients with DS. The specific aim is to determine whether dilation of the eyes is needed prior to objective wavefront measurements. Dilation of the eyes increases the ability to measure the optical quality of the eye and paralyzes accommodation (the natural focusing mechanism of the eye), which could be beneficial in determining refractions. However, the use of dilation lengthens the process for determining prescriptions and may be less desirable for patients.
This study evaluates the reliability, validity and safety of a self administered, subjective refraction test via a mobile medical app (GoEyes) as compared to standard of care subjective manifest refraction performed by a health care provider, in subjects who have no known ocular disease or condition other than refractive error.
This study is exploratory and examines whether the refraction results obtained from a novel optical device yields results similar to the ophthalmic refraction measurements obtained from an autorefractor in children.
Primary objective of this study is the development and validation of a web-based application for the examination of the distance visual acuity of normal- and low-vision patients.
