Refractive change in hyperglycaemia: hyperopia, not myopia.
Sudden changes in refraction are well recognised feature of hyperglycaemia. A tendency towards myopia has always been associated with elevations in blood glucose. Twelve diabetic patients were found to have experienced such refractive changes. Review of their records demonstrates that hyperglycaemia produces hyperopia. A theoretical mechanism for this phenomenon is discussed.
متن کاملRefractive surgery for hyperopia.
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy, stability, and predictability of refractive surgery for hyperopia using four different procedures: photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), implantation of a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), and removing the transparent lens with IOL implantation. METHODS We operated on 184 eyes with hyperopia; 56 eyes had less than +2.00 D (lo...
متن کاملRefractive Surgery for Myopia
This chapter describes current surgical techniques used to correct myopia, including laser correction (laser surgeries), incisional techniques, intrastromal corneal rings, phakic intra‐ ocular lenses, and refractive lensectomy.
متن کاملAstigmatism associated with experimentally induced myopia or hyperopia in chickens.
PURPOSE Astigmatism is a very common refractive error in humans, but its etiology is poorly understood. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether alterations in visual experience would result in astigmatism in chicks. METHODS Longitudinal and cross-sectional data were obtained from chicks that were raised undergoing four different visual manipulations known to alter axial eye...
متن کاملRelative Peripheral Hyperopia Does Not Predict Development and Progression of Myopia in Children.
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that relative peripheral hyperopia predicts development and progression of myopia. METHODS Refraction along the horizontal visual field was measured under cycloplegia at visual field angles of 0°, ±15°, and ±30° at baseline, 1 and 2 years in over 1700 initially 7-year-old Chinese children, and at baseline and 1 year in over 1000 initially 14-year olds. One refra...
