However, the use of this technology may lead to visual symptoms and discomfort by disrupting the normal linkage between the accommodation and vergence systems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of playing 3D video games using VR-HMDs on different oculomotor functions (i.e., accommodation and/or vergence system parameters) and to quantify symptoms associated with playing games using VR-HMD technology. Methods: Twenty –six male and female young adults (age range 19–27 years) with normal binocular vision completed this study. Different clinical accommodative and vergence measurements were collected before and after playing 3D video games using a VR-HMD system for 45 minutes. In addition, visual- and non–visual-related symptoms were measured before and after the video game sessions using the standardized Simulator Sickness Questionnaire. Results: The majority of accommodative parameters—including negative relative accommodation, accommodative accuracy, and monocular and binocular accommodative facilities—were significantly affected after playing 3D video games. With respect to vergence system measurements, the horizontal negative fusional vergence range at near and vergence facility test outcomes were affected significantly after the 3D video game sessions. Significant increments in different types of symptoms (i.e., visual and nonvisual) were also observed after playing 3D video games using the VR-HMD system. Conclusions: Playing 3D video games using VR-HMD systems can lead to a deterioration of certain oculomotor functions (i.e., accommodative and vergence systems). Players can be expected to experience eyestrain and discomfort after just 45 minutes of playing.","PeriodicalId":14184,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ophthalmology & Visual Science","volume":"126 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80519471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Setting-Tertiary eye care hospital in South India. Design-Retrospective study. Methods-508 eyes that underwent simultaneous phacoemulsification with pterygium excision between 2011-2017 were included in the study. Exclusion criteria-Pre-operative astigmatism of > 2 D, grade 3 pterygia, recurrent or double head pterygia, traumatic or complicated cataract. Pre-operative evaluation-clinical examination, keratometry, IOL power calculation, retinoscopy and subjective refraction. Procedure-Phacoemulsification with foldable monofocal IOL followed by pterygium excision with conjunctival autografting using tissue glue. Post-operative follow up-Periodically up to 6 months. Results- Mean pre-operative best corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) was 0.41+/-0.46 with post-operative mean being 0.04+/-0.12 (p=0.001). Mean pre-operative and post operative astigmatism were -1.25+/-0.60 D and -0.73+/-0.58 D (p=0.001) respectively. Mean post-operative myopic spherical error was -0.85+/-0.48 D. 34.33% of the patients had a post-operative refractive error out of which 87.42% had myopia and 12.57% had a hypermetropic error (<1D). 63.27% of the eyes with myopic error had an error of < 1 D. Most commonly seen complication was sub conjunctival haemorrhage followed by graft retraction in 12 and 10 eyes respectively. Conclusion- The combined single step procedure of phacoemulsification with pterygium excision in indicated cases, is safe and effective with good visual outcomes. The post-operative myopic residual error can be anticipated and reduced by slightly under correcting the IOL power in patients with concurrent pterygium to optimize the visual outcome.","PeriodicalId":14184,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ophthalmology & Visual Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83137424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A stress rheometer was adapted to measure COF on a soft contact lens by custom fabrication of a rapid-mount sample stage for increased throughput. Five subjects were randomly assigned to wear daily disposable nesofilcon A and delefilcon A contact lenses bilaterally for 4 hours, after which time lenses were removed. Static and kinetic COFs of lenses worn on left eyes was measured, while lenses worn on right eyes were imaged in parallel by AFM in tapping mode. Root mean square (RMS) surface roughness was calculated for all lenses to determine the effect of wear on surface topography. Results: Both static and kinetic COFs measured on unworn delefilcon A silicone hydrogel lenses were greater than on nesofilcon A traditional hydrogel lenses. Static COF on nesofilcon A increased significantly after wear, while kinetic COF trended higher but did not change significantly. Similarly, static COF on delefilcon A also increased significantly after wear, and kinetic COF trended higher but did not change significantly, both remaining greater than on worn nesofilcon A. Parallel AFM analysis demonstrated that nesofilcon A lenses are smoother than are delefilcon A out of the package. Both lenses attracted deposits during wear, but the nesofilcon A surface was less altered by on-eye wear than was the delefilcon A surface. Conclusion: A system to rapidly measure static and kinetic COFs was successfully developed. Static and kinetic COFs measured on delefilcon A were greater than on nesofilcon A lenses. More deposits and greater surface roughness were observed after wear on delefilcon A relative to nesofilcon A. Parallel AFM images of worn and unworn lenses were not predictive of measured COFs, but increased roughness visible by AFM was consistent with observed increases in COF, although not all increases were statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":14184,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ophthalmology & Visual Science","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80424167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims was to investigate the effects of consanguineous marriages on the refractive errors of preschool-aged and adolescent patients. Two sample groups were recruited: the preschooler group (3–6 years; 335 participants) and the adolescent group (12–20 years; 998 participants). The required sample size was calculated using a sample size estimation software. Visual acuity was measured using the 15-line Lea symbols chart in the pre-school aged group and non-illuminated ETDRS VA chart in the adolescent group. Spherical equivalent refractive errors were noted with near-retinoscopy technique in young children and with the ARK-30 autorefractor in the adolescent group. In order to explore the impact of consanguineous marriages, the data were analyzed separately based on the age group using SPSS version 21 software. In the preschooler group, myopia was found in 4.2%, hyperopia in 8.1%, and astigmatism in 20%. Three children had high myopic scores (-10.00 D, -13.50 D and -17.50 D). In the adolescent group, 45.6% participants were myopic, 3.8% were hyperopic, and 22.3% were astigmatic. Despite the higher frequency of RE in those 15 years and older in the cousins group and the consanguineous parents of the three preschool-aged children with high myopia, there were no statistically significant (p>0.05) evidence that consanguineous marriages impact the refractive errors of their children.

A 31-year-old female patient with a one-month history of low visual acuity (VA) in the right eye (RE) was referred after no response to treatment of toxoplasmosis and acute retinal necrosis. She presented no comorbidities, but a history of recurrent paronychia, oral candidiasis and tinea capitis since childhood. Her parents were first-degree cousins. Visual acuity was 20/2000 in the RE and 20/20 in the left eye (LE). There was an elevated exudative lesion occupying the retinal posterior pole, associated with fluffy white cotton balls in the adjacent posterior vitreous. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed macular lesions with the \"rain cloud\" sign. Fungal endogenous endophthalmitis was hypothesized. Imaging and laboratory examinations discarded other infections and eliminated involvement of other organs. Diagnostic vitreous puncture was performed in addition to Amphotericin B injection and intravenous Fluconazole. As culture results were negative, a vitreous biopsy was performed, in which Candida albicans was grown, followed by a second Amphotericin B injection. As there was no improvement, pars plana posterior vitrectomy, with placement of silicone oil, was performed. In spite of infection control, VA remained 20/2000. Due to a severe ocular condition with no other invasive sites of infection, associated with superficial recurrent fungal infections, a primary fungal specific immunodeficiency was suspected, resulting in referral to Immunology. An immunogenetic panel was performed, demonstrating heterozygosity for two CARD9 gene mutations, a molecule related to familial candidiasis. Follow-up in Ophthalmology and Immunology was maintained and oral Fluconazole was proposed to be taken for at least 6 months. Three months later, she presented with an oral abscess secondary to Candida, managed by the Otorhinolaryngology team. Fungal endogenous endophthalmitis is an important cause of morbidity and low visual acuity, especially in the population of immunocompromised patients. Early ophthalmological diagnosis should preferably be performed in order to prevent lesions from increasing, affecting noble areas such as the macula, and reaching the vitreous. When the fundus exam presents signs of fungal endophthalmitis in immunocompetent, young and healthy patients, diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies should be considered.","PeriodicalId":14184,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ophthalmology & Visual Science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74209309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can appear clinically in childhood or adolescence. The juxta limbic location (on the temporal side and near the palpebral fissure) of the naevus is the most frequent. Its presence at the level of the lacrimal caroncula (inner angle of the eye) and the semi-lunar fold (outside the caroncula) is more rare. Their pigmentation varies with age. Thus, almost 25% of them are amelanotic (especially in children). The pigmentation varies according to several factors: the congenital character of these naevi; hormonal changes during pregnancy; intense exposure to the sun. In addition, a change in pigmentation can be observed in almost 25% of cases with inflammation, or in cases of intense activity of melanophages. The size of the naevi tends to increase with age.
