This study was designed to estimate the burden of blindness and vision impairment in school children, and to determine the proportion of students meeting the visual acuity (VA) demand for their classr...
Dynamic visual acuity (DVA) is crucial for the perception of moving objects. While traditional DVA assessment tools predominantly focus on horizontal movements, the evaluation of vertical DVA remains ...
To investigate the early visual acuity (VA) changes that occur after trabeculectomy and their reversal with recovery....
Two hundred ninety-two eyes of 292 patients after initial trabeculectomy as a standalone procedure fulfilling the following conditions were included: 1) patients with a postoperative follow-up of at l...
The mean IOPs (mmHg) after trabeculectomy were significantly lower than preoperatively during the entire period (P < 0.0001). The mean corrected VA for all patients was 0.06 ± 0.17, 0.24 ± 0.38, 0.19 ...
The frequency of serious vision loss was 4.45% for two or more levels of vision loss, and early postoperative VA changes after trabeculectomy may not be reversed even 3 months later. VA loss is influe...
Visual perception is limited by spatial resolution, the ability to discriminate fine details. Spatial resolution not only declines with eccentricity but also differs for polar angle locations around t...
Standard-of-care assessment for children with amblyopia includes measuring amblyopic eye best-corrected visual acuity (AE BCVA) with the fellow eye occluded. By definition, this abolishes the interocu...
Cross-sectional study....
Dichoptic and monocular AE BCVA of children aged 6-12 years (42 with amblyopia, 24 with recovered normal AE BCVA, 30 control) were measured. Stereoacuity, suppression, eye-hand coordination, and readi...
Overall, 81% of amblyopic children had worse dichoptic than monocular AE BCVA (mean difference=0.15±0.11 logMAR; P < .0001), and 71% of children with recovered normal AE BCVA had worse dichoptic than ...
Dichoptic AE BCVA deficits were worse than monocular AE BCVA deficits and were associated with reduced stereoacuity and suppression, consistent with the hypothesis that binocular dysfunction plays a r...
Evaluate the differences between clinical visual acuity (VA) as recorded in medical records and electronic Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (eETDRS) protocol VA measurements and factors affe...
Retrospective chart review....
Study and fellow eyes of participants enrolled in DRCR Retina Network Protocols AC and AE (diabetic macular edema), and W (nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy) with clinical VA recorded within 3 mon...
Differences and their association with patient and ocular factors were evaluated using linear mixed models with random effects for correlations within sites and participants....
Difference between VA letter scores measured by eETDRS during a study visit versus measured by Snellen during a regular clinical visit (Snellen fraction converted to eETDRS)....
Data from 1016 eyes (511 participants) across 74 sites were analyzed. The mean VA measurements were 68.6 letters (Snellen equivalent 20/50) at the clinical visit and 76.3 letters (Snellen equivalent 2...
On average, clinical Snellen VA is 1 to 2 lines worse than eETDRS protocol refraction and VA testing, which may partly explain why clinical practice does not always replicate clinical trial results. E...
Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found after the references....
Visual acuity declines with age, and disease-related visual acuity changes vary. We evaluated factors affecting visual acuity and age-related visual acuity in diseases associated with reduced visual a...
Lighting conditions significantly influence visual acuity (VA), visual function, and quality of life. Previous research highlighted a correlation between luminance and VA but left a gap in understandi...
This study aimed to investigate the influence of both central and surrounding luminance on VA through distance VA measurements....
A dual-component lighting system was utilized, comprising a self-illuminated ETDRS chart and a skyLED system for consistent surrounding illumination. Two experimental setups were conducted: the first ...
Sixty-six participants with refractive errors between 0.0 D and -2.75 D were tested under various lighting conditions. Both uncorrected refractive error (URE) and corrected refractive error (CRE) eyes...
Paired t-tests were used to evaluate the statistical significance of differences in VA scores....
Experiment 1 demonstrated a significant increase in VA scores, with mean improvements of -0.120 LogMAR for URE eyes and -0.073 LogMAR for CRE eyes as chart luminance increased from 26 cd/m² to 153 cd/...
This study emphasizes the significant impact of both central and peripheral luminance on VA. The introduction of the skyLED lighting system underlines the importance of optimal lighting for visual per...
Silicone oil is an established intraocular surgical aid, which enables the treatment of the most complex starting situations but no other alternative has been found; however, the available data indica...
Human sensitivity to visual input often scales with the magnitude of evoked responses in the brain. Here, we demonstrate an exception. We record electroencephalography (EEG) while people attempt to re...
