In this research, we represent the changes in visual acuity during pregnancy and after delivery. Changes as myopic shift start during second trimester and will be stopped after delivery; however it is obtained that women will have the same refractive error as what they had in the first trimester, after postpartum. So, any change in their spectacle prescription during this period is forbidden. A...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The prevalence of myopia has been reported to have increased in a number of population groups. We compared the refraction of Australian Aboriginal adults in 2000 with data collected in 1977 to assess whether there had been a change in the prevalence of myopia. METHOD Australian Aboriginal adults aged 20 to 30 years old were selected from Central Australian communities in 2000....

Corneal deposits after the topical use of ofloxacin in two children with vernal keratoconjunctivitis Topical fluoroquinolones are broad spectrum, bactericidal agents with activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative corneal pathogens. Single drug administration with topical fluoroquinolones has been effectively used in treatment of bacterial ulcerative kera-titis. The drugs are safe, b...

This study reports early outcomes of a cohort of presbyopic patients treated with Intracor. The study took place from December 2010 to May 2011 and was conducted in University Eye Hospital "Svjetlost", Zagreb, Croatia. 95 eyes were enrolled in this prospective clinical trial (49 patients with non dominant eye and 23 with bilateral treatment). All patients gave informed consent prior to enrollme...

ABSTRACT Purposes: To evaluate the relationship of changes in hypermetropia and ocular alignment patients with accommodative esotropia. Methods: The medical records consecutive diagnosed refractive esotropia (esotropia eliminated or decreased to within 10 D full hyperopic correction) were retrospectively reviewed. Cycloplegic refractions culled from converted into spherical equivalents. Presenc...

Outdoor time is considered to reduce the risk of developing myopia. The purpose is to evaluate the evidence for association between time outdoors and (1) risk of onset of myopia (incident/prevalent myopia); (2) risk of a myopic shift in refractive error and c) risk of progression in myopes only. A systematic review followed by a meta-analysis and a dose-response analysis of relevant evidence fr...
