Filter by:The usability of a novel test to categorize a distorted visual impression (metamorphopsia) is examined with the questionnaire "SUS"
It is a study where investigators are going to measure variables related to motor development and vision through objective tests in children with typical development of two years of age.
Youth and some adults have photoscreening refractions and hand-held auto refraction before cycloplegia refraction during new and follow up eye examinations. Vector math is applied to each refraction to determine how closely the hand-held "dry" devices match actual refraction.
An individual senses the world and reflects feedbacks via independent behaviors. Such precise collaboration of the sensory and behavioral systems is fundamental to survival and evolution. When a sensory modality is altered, the behavioral system has the potential to fit in a substitute modality. However, the specific dynamics of human behaviors in response to sensory loss remain largely unknown due to the paucities of representative situations and large-scale samples. Here, the investigators focused on thousands of human infants who suffered varying degrees of visual stimuli deficiency in early stages, while their behavioral systems remained sensitive and thus retained high behavioral plasticity. Having access to this unique population provides an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the effect of diverse visual conditions on the behavioral system and develop a domestic apparatus for screening visual impariment of infants.
This is a phase II prospective, interventional, open-labeled, proof-of-concept study. 2 years per participant, 2 years 6 months in total Total n=6 The primary objective is to assess the safety of human pancreatic islet transplantation into the ACE of participants with T1D. Safety analyses will involve examination of the incidence, severity, and type of treatment emergent AEs reported, and changes in vital signs, ophthalmic status and laboratory test results from baseline (Day 0 pre-transplantation) to specified time points throughout the study.
During recent years, the interest in studying the risks of being born moderate-to-late preterm (MLP), defined as birth between gestational week 32 to 36, has increased. Today the investigators know that morbidity and mortality are significantly higher in these individuals compared to individuals born full-term. However, few studies have focused on the development of the eye in MLP individuals. The purpose of the study is to evaluate eye morphology and visual function in relation to growth, metabolism, blood pressure, neuropsychiatric factors, and quality of life in adolescents born MLP. The results of the examinations will be compared to an age-matched control group. The study will evaluate the structural, functional, and metabolic aspects of the eye with the hypothesis that early eye abnormalities may detect the risk of developing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
Patients may experience metamorphopsia, or image distortion, after having vitrectomy to repair their rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) especially those with a detached macula. Retinal displacement, as measured on autofluorescence photography, likely contributes to this distortion. There is no study in the scientific literature comparing the rate of retinal displacement and its association with visual function, including metamorphopsia, in patients undergoing different procedures for RRD repair. Based on the recently published PIVOT trial, patients who underwent Pneumatic Retinopexy (PnR) had less vertical distortion at 12 months than patients who had Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV). It is hypothesized that PnR will cause less retinal displacement than PPV for patients with macula-off primary retinal detachment.
Background: One of the most difficult refractory glaucomas in treatment is the neovascular type and its association with dense cataract add to this difficulty. This study aimed to provide results of triple surgical treatment of such conditions. Methods: A total of 12 eyes of 12 patients with dense cataractus NVG patients were included in this study. The patients mean age was 57.25 ± 5.9 years. The mean pre-operative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 47.25 ± 4.04 mmHg with maximum antiglaucoma therapy. The mean best corrected distant visual acuities (BCDVA) in log MAR was 2.13 ± 0.38. All the patients received intra-vitreal injection of 1.25 mg (0.05 ml) bevacizumab followed by phacoemulsification, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) including pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), and assisted trabeculectomy with Mitomycin c (MMC). Mean IOP and BCDVA changes were the main outcome results of this study.
This study will provide a profile of blindness/visual impairment, avoidable blindness and cataract surgery service in Chaonan, mainland China. We also evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) comparison with conventional survey.
This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
