Abstract
We compared preoperative and 1- and 3-month postoperative measurements of anterior and posterior corneal curvature, anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism, anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA) width, central corneal thickness (CCT), and the co...

Abstract
We identified two potentially modifiable variables associated with near visual difficulty: a cooking stove in the same room as sleeping area (Odds Ratio [OR]=1.45, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.01, 2.02) and high fruit consumption (OR=0.65, 95% CI 0.50, 0.86).
The prevalence of visual difficulty wa...

Abstract
Refractive error data are presented for a population base that has not been previously reported, although Polish Americans comprise 3% of the US population. Myopia is more common in young Polish patients than in the general US population. The strong hyperopic shift in older patients may either be no...

Abstract
PURPOSE. Ocular growth is regulated locally by signals produced in the retina. The highly heterogeneous nature of the retina may mask important changes in gene expression during global analysis. This study was conducted to investigate changes in gene expression specifically within the amacrine cell...

Abstract
CTK describes a rare, self-limited, noninflammatory postsurgical condition that presents with central corneal opacity and a significant hyperopic shift. Although its cause remains uncertain, CTK bears a striking clinical resemblance to other more serious conditions and is, therefore, often misdiagno...

Abstract
MMC, although still off-label treatment for ophthalmic surgical uses, is now widely employed for photorefractive keratectomy corrections of greater than four to six diopters. The last few years have seen the refractive surgery community embrace its use for virtually any corneal surgical procedure th...

Abstract
Myopia, hyperopia and accommodation disorders are common refractive disorders, usually due to anatomical abnormalities or to physiological aging. They can also be functional, however, particularly when provoked by drugs. Drug-induced refractive disorders resolve after treatment cessation. All drugs...

Abstract
From those recruited, 15.2% were hypermetropic; 11.1% were myopic; and 6.2% had astigmatism. Participants became progressively more hypermetropic with increasing age until the age of 70 years, after which time they become more myopic. Furthermore, there was an increasing likelihood of myopia and a d...

To assess the safety of LASIK we examined the frequency of intraoperative and postoperati...

Abstract
Maximum relaxation of accommodation occurred for binocular targets receding into the distance. Proximal and disparity cues aid relaxation of accommodation to a greater extent than blur, and thus non-cycloplegic refraction targets should incorporate these cues. This is especially important in screeni...

DSAEK induced a mean hyperopic shift of 1.05 (SD 0.76) D. The mean anterior:posterior corneal radius of curvature ratio decreased to 72.3%. Despite a great variability, the ratio between the central DSAEK graft thickness and the graft thickness at the 7 mm optical zone (C:P2 ratio) was correlated wi...

We asked whether chick eyes exposed to static gratings simulating the chromatic effects of myopic or hyperopic defocus would "compensate" for the simulated defocus.

The surgical correction of refractive errors has gained widespread acceptance in the past 20 years, mainly through the introduction of the excimer laser. The excimer is used to ablate the cornea, renoving stromal tissue in the center (to correct myopia through flattening of the surface), or in the m...
