We prospectively studied for three years the optical correction by contact lenses of 83 aphakic infants (141 eyes) who generally also had systemic and other ocular anomalies: 85% of the patients tolerated the lens wear for the whole study period. Complications occurred in 46 eyes and led to cessation of lens wear in two cases. Ten patients abandoned the lenses for other reasons. Thirty-four eye...

Eye contact captures attention and receives prioritized visual processing. Here we asked whether eye contact might be processed outside conscious awareness. Faces with direct and averted gaze were rendered invisible using interocular suppression. In two experiments we found that faces with direct gaze overcame such suppression more rapidly than faces with averted gaze. Control experiments ruled...

experimental infection of muscovy ducks with v4 strain of newcastle disease virus was undertaken to determine the response of the ducks to the virus and the possibility of virus transmission to ducks and chickens in village like conditions. twelve ducks were randomly and equally divided into three groups of control, inoculated and in-contact. additionally, the chickens were placed into two grou...

Experimental infection of Muscovy ducks with V4 strain of Newcastle disease virus was undertaken to determine the response of the ducks to the virus and the possibility of virus transmission to ducks and chickens in village like conditions. Twelve ducks were randomly and equally divided into three groups of control, inoculated and in-contact. Additionally, the chickens were placed into two grou...

We propose a scheme to recover the eye-contact between multiple users in Shared Mixed Reality Space. The eye-contact in a collaborating mixed reality space is lost as the side effect of wearing head-mounted displays (HMDs). We developed a method to synthesize 3D facial video in order to recover eye-contact which was lost by an HMD. Our method can synthesize facial video with arbitrary posture a...

We took the face, especially eye or eye gaze, into consideration for discussing the non-verbal interface media. We proposed a method for generating eye-contacted facial images by computer image processing for enforcing and improving the quality of facial, nonverbal communication on the net such as VIDEO Conference. We second proposed a passive eye-camera system based on the facial image process...

Keratoconus causes a reduction in the optical quality of the eye as a result of corneal distortion, corneal scarring and higher-order aberrations. The correction of these optical aberrations would significantly improve the visual performance of keratoconic eyes. However the first step would be to measure the optical flaws in keratoconus accurately, which in itself presents a challenge. This pap...

PURPOSE Tear exchange under a soft contact lens is directly related to the amount of lateral and transverse lens motion. Hydrodynamic modeling suggests that channels placed on the back surface of a soft lens will reduce fluid resistance and increase transverse lens movement. This study measured the effect of posterior lens surface scalloped channels on tear exchange. METHODS Tear exchange in ...

Higher-order aberration correction in abnormal eyes can result in significant vision improvement, especially in eyes with abnormal corneas. Customized optics such as phase plates and customized contact lenses are one of the most practical, nonsurgical ways to correct these ocular higher-order aberrations. We demonstrate the feasibility of correcting higher-order aberrations and improving visual...
