PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of refractive error types in Singaporean Chinese children aged 6 to 72 months. METHODS The Strabismus, Amblyopia and Refractive Error in Singaporean Children (STARS) is a population-based study in southwest Singapore. Door-to-door recruitment of participants was used, with disproportionate random sampling in 6-month increments. Parental questionnaires were ...

Objective: To compare corneal aberrations and densitometry values in children with amblyopia due to anisometropic hyperopia those of healthy children.
 Methods: This study included 173 hyperopic anisometropia one eye both eyes. The amblyopic (Group 1) the fellow normal 2) patients right control group 3) were evaluated. Of aberration (CD)measured using Scheimpflug topography noted.
 Re...

PURPOSE To analyze changes in myopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia after laser treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP), in Mainland Chinese children. METHODS This was a retrospective study of children who had laser treatment for threshold or type 1 prethreshold ROP between January 2004 and October 2012 and age-matched ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in anterior segment ocular parameters in anisometropia >1 D. METHODS This study included 202 eyes of 101 subjects ranging from 10 to 40 years of age with anisometropia of 1 D or more. The subjects were divided into groups according to anisomyopia, anisoastigmatism, and anisohypermetropia. After providing informed consent, each p...

Background: Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a developmental disorder in which the optic nerve is small and/or there are fewer than normal nerve fibers present. Visual acuity (VA) loss from ONH ranges from none to severe, depending on the extent of macular nerve fiber loss. It is common for patients with decreased vision from unilateral ONH to develop ipsilateral amblyopia secondary to constant ...

PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of refractive errors in Yazd, central Iran. METHODS This population-based study was performed in 2010-2011 and targeted adults aged 40 to 80 years. Multi-stage random cluster sampling was applied to select samples from urban and rural residents of Yazd. Manifest refraction, visual acuity measurement, retinoscopy and funduscopy were performed for all subject...

The most common means of correcting refractive errors is with spectacles. Spectacles are prescribed and dispensed with corrective lenses that give the best visual acuity and are comfortable. Custom-made spectacles (i.e., made up for each individual) are more expensive, but they are essential in some cases, i.e., when a person requires astigmatic correction or needs diff erent power lenses in ea...

PURPOSE To compare the individual means of ocular components of both eyes in patients with anisometropia; to correlate the differences of the components with refractive differences; and to identify the smallest number of factors that contain the same level of information expressed in the set of variables that influence refractive difference. METHODS An analytical transversal study was carried...

AIM To study the frequency of amblyogenic factors in patients with congenital ptosis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 114 eyes of 100 patients with congenital ptosis more than 1 year old were included. Amblyopia was defined as best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) less than 10/10 or a difference between the two eyes of at least 2/10. In patients too young to be measured by the linear Sne...
