Introduction: Floaters, or particles that appear to float in the visual field, are often subjective complaints cause disruptive sensations vision. Eye strain, which is a common symptom associated with prolonged use of digital screens, can lead other disorders. However, there limited research examining relationship between eye strain and floaters. This study aimed evaluate eyestrain occurrence f...

The mechanics governing the fit of a soft contact lens on the eye are examined through the development of a finite element analysis model. A linearly elastic lens is placed on a rigid eye with a lubricating viscoelastic tear layer. The mechanics of fit are described in terms of the pressure distribution through the tear layer, the contact pressure at the lens/tear interface, the tear film thick...

Eye strain is often experienced when viewing a stereoscopic image pair on a flat display device (e.g., a computer monitor). Violations of two relationships that contribute to this eye strain are: 1) the accommodation/convergence breakdown and 2) the conflict between interposition and disparity depth cues. We describe a simple algorithm that reduces eye strain through horizontal image translatio...

Despite substantial advances in the imaging techniques and pathophysiological understanding over the last decades, identification of the underlying causes of left ventricular hypertrophy by means of echocardiographic examination remains a challenge in current clinical practice. The longitudinal strain bull's eye plot derived from 2D speckle tracking imaging offers an intuitive visual overview o...

BACKGROUND We describe a method for 3-/4D reconstruction of tissue Doppler data from three standard apical planes, post processing to derived data of strain rate/strain and parametric colour imaging of the data. The data can be displayed as M-mode arrays from all six walls, Bull's eye projection and a 3D surface figure that can be scrolled and rotated. Numerical data and waveforms can be re-ext...
