AIM To evaluate the effect of Audiovisual (AV) eyeglasses on pain and anxiety levels during restorative treatment in 5-8 year-olds Thai children. MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN Forty-two children with bilateral carious molars were recruited and randomly divided into 2 groups according to the sequence of AV eyeglasses used. Group I was a group which received treatment without wearing AV...

Article history: Received 16 January 2017 Accepted 16 January 2017 Available online 19 January 2017 hypothesis. We are currently doing a clinical trial Minami Aoyama Eye Clinic in Tokyo, Japan using a violet light-emitting desktop light and violet light-transmitting eyeglasses (Clinical trial number: UMIN000021897). Also, a randomized clinical trial is underway on violet light transmitting eyeg...

background and aims. dental practitioners have numerous methods to control anxiety and pain in children, and distracting the child appears to be the most common technique used for behavior management during dental procedures. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of using virtual reality eyeglasses on severity of pain and anxiety during dental procedures in pediatric patien...

In this paper we show that misclassification attacks against face-recognition systems based on deep neural networks (DNNs) are more dangerous than previously demonstrated, even in contexts where the adversary can manipulate only her physical appearance (versus directly manipulating the image input to the DNN). Specifically, we show how to create eyeglasses that, when worn, can succeed in target...

Iris recognition has been acknowledged as the most accurate method in biometrics that is one of main automated identification technologies. The iris image quality and iris verification of eyes in dark brown, regular brown, hazel, green, and blue was tested. The effects of eyeglasses and contact lenses on the iris image quality score and iris verification were investigated, respectively. The inv...

BACKGROUND Blue light has more energy than longer wavelength light and can penetrate the eye to reach the retina. When surgeons use magnifying loupes under intensive surgical shadowless lamps for better view of the surgical field, the total luminance is about 200 times brighter than that of typical office lighting. In this study, the effects of 2 types of shadowless lamps were compared. Moreove...

BACKGROUND Uncorrected refractive error is a common cause of preventable visual impairment. Glasses are the cheapest and commonest form of correction of refractive errors. To achieve this, patients must exhibit good compliance to spectacle wear. Patients' attitude and perception of glasses and eye health could affect compliance to spectacle wear. OBJECTIVE To determine the attitude and belief...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether subjects who wear short wavelength-blocking eyeglasses during computer tasks exhibit less visual fatigue and report fewer symptoms of visual discomfort than subjects wearing eyeglasses with clear lenses. Methods A total of 36 healthy subjects (20 male; 16 female) was randomized to wearing no-block, low-blocking, or high-blocking eyegl...

Someone reading empirical research relating human genetics to personal outcomes must be careful to distinguish two types of work. An old literature on heritability decomposes cross-sectional variation in observed outcomes into unobservable genetic and environmental components. A new literature measures specific genes and use them as observed covariates when predicting outcomes. Manski discusses...
