purpose: to compare visual outcomes and surgical complications of three phakic intraocular lenses (piols); artisan, artiflex and the implantable collamer lens (icl) for correction of moderate to high myopia. methods: in this historical cohort study, 112 myopic eyes that were operated between 2005 and 2010 and implanted with one of these three piols were evaluated (artisan 40 eyes, artiflex 36 e...

BACKGROUND Individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) have deficits in sensory and motor skills leading to inadequate proprioceptive feedback, impaired postural balance and higher fall risk. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of sensor-based interactive balance training on postural stability and daily physical activity in older adults with diabetes. METHODS Thirty-nine ...

purpose: to compare the visual outcomes of four different therapeutic modalities for central retinal vein occlusion (crvo) with each other and with the natural course of the disease. methods: this study was conducted on 63 eyes of 63 patients including 13 eyes in the radial optic neurotomy (ron) group, 10 eyes in the combined ron and intraocular triamcinolone injection (ron/ iot) group, 12 eyes...

The purpose of this study was to compare the postural sway profiles of 20 boys with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) on two conditions of a quiet standing task: eyes open and eyes closed. Anteriorposterior (AP) sway, medio-lateral sway (LAT), area of sway, total path length, and Romberg’s quotient were analyzed. When visual information was available, there was no difference...

Certain patients with balance disorders report a 'visual vertigo' in which their symptoms are provoked or aggravated by specific visual contexts (e.g. supermarkets, driving or movement of objects). In order to determine the causes of visual vertigo (VV), we assessed symptoms, anxiety and the influence of disorienting visual stimuli in 21 such patients. In 17 out of 21 patients, a peripheral ves...
