Myopia
Abstract
In Asian countries, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), specifically wet AMD or choroidal neovascularisation (CNV), is an important cause of blindness and visual handicap. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) play an integral role in the development of CNV and thus provide an important ther...

Abstract
Refractive error is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in children. An analysis of risk factors for refractive error is required to reduce and prevent this common eye disease.
To identify the risk factors associated with refractive errors in primary school children (6-12 year old) in Nak...

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
Our lower incidence of postoperative RD could be attributed partially to our lower neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy rates and our surgical modification involving the implementation of primary posterior capsulorhexis in all patients younger than 40....

Abstract
Twenty eyes of 20 patients ranging in age from 24 to 48 years old were evaluated. The anterior chamber depth increased significantly with pupil dilation (mean change 0.06 mm +/- 0.08 [SD]) (P<.01). A significant change was also observed in the distance between the center of the cornea at the endothe...

Abstract
When corneal power is known, the Seitz/Speicher method (with or without Savini adjustment) seems the best solution to obtain an accurate IOL power prediction. Otherwise, the Masket method may be the most reliable option.

Abstract
The 3 techniques increase the wavefront aberrations of the cornea and change the relative contribution of coma-like and spherical-like aberrations. For a large aperture (> 5 mm), corneal refractive therapy induces more spherical-like aberrations than standard and custom LASIK. However, no clinically...

Formation of flap buttonhole is significantly more common in the second eye and with the usage of Moria M2 microkeratome and 90-microm blade.

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...
