Visual acuity (VA) loss has been associated with depression in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, previous studies did not incorporate subgroups of AMD when correlating VA ...
AMD patients classified by multi-modal imaging were recruited into an AMD registry. Habitual VA was obtained by ophthalmic technicians using the Snellen VA at distance. At enrollment, patients complet...
Eight hundred seventy-five patients were included in the study. Patients with bilateral geographic atrophy (GA) or bilateral GA and neovascular (NV) AMD scored lowest on the mental health subscales wi...
There is a significant association between mental health questionnaire scores and AMD classification, as well as VA in both the better and worse-seeing eyes in patients with AMD. It is important for c...
We combined data from 121 amblyopic children enrolled in two prospective open-label pilot studies and a randomized trial of a binocular digital therapeutic to identify factors associated with positive...
No information exists on the frequency of visual impairment in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in Germany. In this study, the prevalence of vision impairment in those individuals was investigated....
We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 295 people (14221 consultations) at a university outpatient clinic with any type of DM and an available ETDRS-Score and visual acuity. The primary outcome was t...
The prevalence of visual impairment in participants with DM was 11.2%; among these individuals, 81.8% had no or non-proliferative retinopathy. In the DM2 subgroup, 81.5% (n=22) of the visually impaire...
The prevalence of impaired vision in people with diabetes in our cohort was 11.2%,<20% of visual impairment in people with diabetes is caused by diabetic retinopathy, and 69.7% of participants with vi...
We assessed the association between measures of dynamic visual acuity and a multiple object tracking task in physically active young adults. Ninety-four young adults performed the dynamic visual acuit...
Patients with advanced Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy frequently report poor vision in the morning, which improves as the day progresses. This study quantified the amount of variation in near and...
This was a prospective cohort study. Best-corrected distance visual acuity and near visual acuity were tested in participants with clinically advanced Fuchs dystrophy and in controls with healthy corn...
In Fuchs dystrophy, the mean distance visual acuity was worse by -3 letters (95% confidence interval, -4 to -1) directly after eye opening in the morning compared with late afternoon. No such differen...
Distance and near visual acuity and refraction changes over the course of the day in patients with advanced Fuchs dystrophy. Although small changes in refraction may not usually require a second set o...
Monitoring dynamic changes in near vision is important for early detection of presbyopia. This study assessed the accuracy and reliability of a new smartphone-based application, the Smart Vision Check...
Smaller pupil size under binocular conditions could justify partially the improvement of visual performance when compared to monocular conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the binocular...
Fifteen young subjects were recruited in this crossover study. Light disturbance index (LDI) was evaluated with the light disturbance analyzer and low (LCDVA) and high (HCDVA) contrast visual acuity w...
Our results showed poorer visual performance in monocular than the binocular condition. An increasing deterioration was observed with the level of spherical defocus. Positive binocular summation for v...
Binocular summation was observed under different conditions of spherical and cylindrical optical degradation of the image quality when the pupil size was fully controlled. This suggests that a neural ...
High-contrast visual acuity is disproportionately poor in patients with accommodative spasm subtype of near reflex (SNR-A), relative to uncorrected refractive errors of equivalent magnitude. This exag...
To determine how combinations of pseudomyopic refraction and its temporal variations in SNR-A impact high-contrast visual acuity by inducing these patterns in healthy cyclopleged adults, relative to t...
Refractive profiles of 15 patients with SNR-A were obtained from a previous study, averaged, and induced before the right eye of 14 cyclopleged adults (mean ±1 SD age: 22.7 ± 2.6 yrs) by feeding the p...
The induced refractive fluctuations ranged from -0.80 to -1.75D, around a mean pseudomyopia of -1.20D. Visual acuity deterioration was maximum for the combination of pseudomyopia and temporal fluctuat...
Combination of induced pseudomyopia and temporal fluctuations in refraction produces an additive loss of visual acuity and task precision, relative to baseline and each factor considered separately....
Cataract and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) often co-exist and both contribute to impaired vision. It has been debated whether cataract surgery can increase nAMD activity. The pur...
Data was obtained from the Swedish Macular Register, the Swedish National Cataract Register, optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and patient charts. All eyes were treated at the Department of Op...
In total, 156 patients (168 eyes) were included. The mean age at cataract surgery was 82 (standard deviation, SD 6) years. Both distance and near visual acuity improved after surgery. Distance visual ...
Cataract surgery improved visual acuity in patients with on-going treatment for nAMD and did not affect anti-VEGF treatment intensity. Macular morphology remained unchanged. The slight increase in int...
In this study, we investigated a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based framework for the estimation of the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from fundus images. First, we collected 53,318 fundus ...
