A unifying theory of refractive error development.
While retinal defocus is believed to be myopigenic in nature, the underlying mechanism has remained elusive. We recently constructed a theory of refractive error development to investigate its fundamental properties. Our Incremental Retinal-Defocus Theory is based on the principle that the change in retinal-defocus magnitude during an increment of genetically-programmed ocular growth provides t...
متن کاملA unifying theory of a posteriori finite element error control
Residual-based a posteriori error estimates are derived within a unified setting for lowest-order conforming, nonconforming, and mixed finite element schemes. The various residuals are identified for all techniques and problems as the operator norm ‖`‖ of a linear functional of the form
متن کاملThe challenge of uncorrected refractive error: driving the agenda of the Durban Declaration on refractive error and service development.
The purpose of this article is to highlight the challenge of uncorrected refractive error globally, as well as to discuss recent advocacy successes and innovative programs designed to address the need for broader refractive error service development, particularly in developing countries. The World Health Organization's VISION 2020: The Right to Sight program first posed the challenge to nationa...
متن کاملInfluence of uncorrected refractive error and unmet refractive error on visual impairment in a Brazilian population
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of blindness and visual impairment are widely based on best-corrected visual acuity excluding uncorrected refractive errors (URE) as a visual impairment cause. Recently, URE was included as a cause of visual impairment, thus emphasizing the burden of visual impairment due to refractive error (RE) worldwide is substantially higher. The p...
متن کاملRefractive error blindness.
Recent data suggest that a large number of people are blind in different parts of the world due to high refractive error because they are not using appropriate refractive correction. Refractive error as a cause of blindness has been recognized only recently with the increasing use of presenting visual acuity for defining blindness. In addition to blindness due to naturally occurring high refrac...
