Abstract Background Myopia, commonly known as near-sightedness, has emerged a global epidemic, impacting almost one in three individuals across the world. The increasing prevalence of myopia during early childhood heightened risk developing high and related sight-threatening eye conditions adulthood. This surge rates, occurring within relatively stable genetic framework, underscores profound influence environmental lifestyle factors on this condition. In comprehensive narrative review, we...

With the introduction of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence (AI)-based large language models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming popular within scientific community. They use natural processing to generate human-like responses queries. However, application LLMs and comparison abilities among different with their human counterparts in ophthalmic care remain under-reported.

Purpose: To evaluate the duration-dependent and synergetic impact of high-intensity light (HL) unrestricted vision (UnV) on lens-induced myopia (LIM) development in chickens. Methods: Myopia was induced one eye chicks (10 groups, n = 126) from day 1 posthatching (D1) until 8 (D8) using –10 diopter (D) lenses. Fellow eyes remained uncovered as controls. Nine groups were exposed daily to 2, 4, or 6 hours HL (15,000 lux), UnV (removal D lens), both (HL + UnV). One group served LIM without any...

Abstract Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a persistent medical condition that contributes significant global mortality rate and various associated complications in individuals. To address the needs of those diagnosed with type 2 pharmaceutical market offers range antidiabetic medications. Among these options, gliflozins stand out highly efficacious therapeutic agents for management diabetes. These medications inhibit function sodium–glucose linked transporter (SGLT)...

The current understanding of clinical approaches and barriers in managing childhood myopia among Indian optometrists is limited. This research underscores the necessity relevance evidence-based practice guidelines by exploring their knowledge, attitude, towards myopia. A self-administered internet-based 26-item survey was circulated online practicing India. questions assessed demographics, self-reported behavior, barriers, source information guiding management, extent adult caregiver...

PURPOSE. To estimate the normal value of macular pigment optical density (MPOD) in an adult south Indian sample. METHODS. Three hundred eyes 161 healthy volunteers (30 men and 30 women each age groups 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, ≥60 years) underwent MPOD measurement with a densitometer. Thirty-two were also checked for intersession variability. RESULTS. The mean MPODs sample 0.64 ± 0.23 log unit at 0.25° eccentricity, 0.50 0.21 0.5°, 0.37 0.19 1.00°, 0.16 1.75°. At all foveal eccentricities,...

Swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the latest advancement in anterior segment imaging. There are limited data regarding its performance after laser situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We compared reliability of swept-source OCT and Scheimpflug imaging for evaluation corneal parameters refractive surgery candidates with myopia or myopic astigmatism. Three consecutive measurements were obtained preoperatively 1 year postoperatively using The study included central thickness (CCT),...

Repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) improves vision in patients with chronic visual impairments and an acute treatment increased survival of retinal neurons after optic nerve crush (ONC) rodent models system injury. However, despite this protection no functional recovery could be detected rats, which was interpreted as evidence "silent survivor" cells. We now analysed the mechanisms underlying survival" effect. Using vivo microscopy retina we investigated...

SIGNIFICANCE This study ascertains that myopia is a risk factor for glaucoma progression among eyes with primary open angle glaucoma. Myopic may benefit from measurement and incorporation of axial length information into clinical decision making. PURPOSE The purpose this was to estimate the rate change in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness visual field patients without myopia. METHODS We conducted prospective, observational cohort where we analyzed 245 135 followed mean period 6.08...

PURPOSE: To estimate the prevalence of glaucoma in myopic individuals Hong Kong China seeking corneal refractive surgery and factors associated with occurrence glaucoma. METHODS: Six hundred twenty-nine eyes 315 a tertiary institution China, were consecutively recruited. Glaucoma was defined by presence abnormal retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) neuroretinal rim measurements obtained spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, as well narrowed optic disc excavation observed color...

Corneal refractive surgery screening, orthokeratology, and contact lens fitting require accurate estimation of the corneal thickness curvature. We found that any imaging devices used in this study can be to image a healthy myopic cornea, which is essential screen for ectasia.This aimed compare agreement repeatability radius measurements obtained using Scheimpflug (Pentacam HR), swept-source optical coherence tomography (Casia SS-1000), Placido-Scheimpflug (Topographic Modeling System,...
