PURPOSE To investigate the reliability of partial coherence laser interferometry for optical biometry in highly myopic eyes. METHODS Axial length measurements by the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany) with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ≥2 were performed in 52 consecutive myopic subjects with axial length ≥26.5 mm and 45 emmetropic patients before cataract surgery. Axial length measurements...

PURPOSE To identify ocular parameters corresponding to asymmetric visual field (VF) loss in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) through intereye comparisons. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of NTG patients with asymmetric and symmetric VF losses were retrospectively reviewed. The criterion for asymmetry in VF was 6 dB difference of mean deviation. Refractive error, intraocular pressure (IOP), ...

We propose the notion of myopic-farsighted absorbing set to determine networks that emerge in long run when some players are myopic while others farsighted. A is a if (No External Deviation) there no improving path from within outside set, (External Stability) any network and (Minimality) proper subset satisfying No Deviation Stability. Contrary stable we show always exists. partially character...

A central justification for social insurance and for other policies aimed at retirement savings is that individuals may fail to make adequate provision during their working years. Much research has focused on myopia and other behavioral limitations. Yet little attention has been devoted to how these infirmities, and government policies to rectify them, influence labor supply. This linkage could...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the long-term visual outcome of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery is consistent with the short-term results in high myopic eyes. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study; data collected from 8 August 2011 to 31 August 2015. SETTING Single refractive surgery centre. PARTICIPANTS A total of 156 eyes were studied: 65 eyes of 39 subjects (22 female/17...

Myopic is a hard real-time process scheduling algorithm that selects a suitable process based on a heuristic function from a subset (Window) of all ready processes instead of choosing from all available processes, like original heuristic scheduling algorithm. Performance of the algorithm significantly depends on the chosen heuristic function that assigns weight to different parameters like dead...

A retinitis pigmentosa (RP) population (268 eyes) had predominantly myopic refractive errors. Whereas 12% of a normal population have myopic refractions, myopia was found in 75% of 268 eyes of RP patients and in 95% of 41 eyes of X-linked RP patients. The spherical errors describe a single-peaked, skewed distribution, with a mean of -1.86 dioptres that is significantly (P less than 0.001) more ...

AIMS To evaluate angiographic features of myopic crescents using fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (IA). METHODS FA and IA angiograms of 88 highly myopic eyes (47 consecutive patients) were reviewed. The follow up period ranged from 5-28 years. RESULTS FA revealed two zones of the myopic crescent: a consistently hypofluorescent inner zone and an outer zone with ...
