Refraction data survey: 2nd generation correlation of myopia

Under-correction of human myopia--is it myopigenic?: a retrospective analysis of clinical refraction data.

PURPOSE To investigate retrospectively, based on routine clinical records in an optometric office, the effect of refractive under-correction of the myopic spectacle prescription on myopic progression in children and young adults. METHODS Patient records of children and young-adult myopes in a private optometric practice in Glendale, Arizona, USA, were initially reviewed to identify those that...

Peripheral refraction and retinal contour in stable and progressive myopia.

PURPOSE To compare the patterns of relative peripheral astigmatic refraction (tangential and sagittal power errors) and eccentric eye length between progressing and stable young-adult myopes. METHODS Sixty-two right eyes of 62 white patients participated in the study, of which 30 were nonprogressing myopes (NP group) for the last 2 years and 32 were progressing myopes (P group). Groups were m...

2nd GENERATION OF RSL’S SPECTRUM DATABASE “SPECCHIO”

The organised storage of spectral data described by according metadata is important for long term use and data sharing with other scientists. The recently redesigned SPECCHIO system acts as a repository for spectral field campaign and reference signatures. An analysis of metadata space has resulted in a non-redundant relational data model and efficient graphical user interfaces with underlying ...
