Purpose. To characterize the changes occurring in choroidal thickness (ChT) across posterior pole during accommodation using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods. Forty participants (mean age 21 ± 2 years) had measures of ChT and ocular biometry taken to 0, 3, 6 diopter (D) stimuli, with Spectralis OCT Lenstar biometer. A Badal optometer cold mirror system was mounted on both instruments, allowing measurement collection while subjects viewed an external fixation...
Ambient light exposure is one environmental factor thought to play a role in the regulation of eye growth and refractive error development, choroidal thickness changes have also been linked longer term growth. Therefore this study we aimed examine influence 1-week period morning therapy upon thickness. Twenty two healthy young adult subjects had series macular measurements collected with spectral domain optical coherence tomography before, then following 7-day increased daily exposure....
Low concentration atropine is an effective treatment to slow myopia progression and axial elongation also reduces accommodation. On-axis ocular dimensions of the eye change during accommodation; hence, this study aimed quantify effect 0.025% drops on accommodation-induced changes in biometry. Twenty-eight myopic participants with a mean (SD) age 17.0 (6.0) years (range: 8.0-25.5 years) spherical equivalent refraction (SER) -2.03 (1.05) D -0.75 -4.38 D) were enrolled. Baseline biometry...
Optometry students are taught the process of subjective refraction through lectures and laboratory-based practicals before progressing to supervised clinical practice. Simulated leaning environments (SLEs) form part an emerging technology used in a range health disciplines; however, there is limited evidence regarding effectiveness simulators as educational tools.Forty optometry (20 fourth year 20 fifth year) were assessed twice by qualified optometrist (two examinations separated four eight...
Abstract Purpose This study compared in vivo crystalline lens shape measurements using B‐scan images from the IOLMaster 700 with phakometry. Methods Twenty‐four young adult participants underwent and phakometry under cycloplegia (1% cyclopentolate). The generated along six meridians 30° increments, which were analysed custom MATLAB software to determine surface radii of curvature. Phakometry obtained Purkinje reflected surfaces. Results image analysis method yielded a lower mean anterior...
