Corneas from human donors are used to replace damaged tissue and treat corneal blindness, but there is a severe worldwide shortage of donor corneas. We conducted a phase 1 clinical study in which biosynthetic mimics of corneal extracellular matrix…

Eye-tracking applications are surveyed in a breadth-first manner, reporting on work from the following domains: neuroscience, psychology, industrial engineering and human factors, marketing/advertising, and computer science. Following a review of…

PURPOSE: To determine the risk factors of incident myopia in a school-based cohort study in Singaporean children. METHODS: A 3-year prospective cohort study was conducted in Singaporean school children aged 7 to 9 years in three schools at entry.…
-
AIMS: To compare the respective performances of digital retinal imaging, fundus photography and slit-lamp biomicroscopy performed by trained optometrists, in screening for diabetic retinopathy. To assess the potential contribution of automated…

Pupil responses triggered by specific stimulus attributes such as spatial structure, colour and light flux changes were measured in eight domestic fowl. Comparative experiments were also carried out in human subjects. The results were unexpected in…

Results are given of an empirical sampling study of the sensitivities of nine statistical procedures for evaluating the normality of a com- plete sample. The nine statistics are W (Shapiro and Wilk, 1965), V/bl (standard third moment), b2 (standard…
-
In order to complement previous studies of contrast detection, we have examined the effects of three stimulus variables (spatial frequency, retinal illuminance, retinal locus) and one visual disorder (amblyopia) on contrast discrimination. Although…

Purpose: The study was conducted to compare the accuracy of readings of the RMA-3000 autorefractometer (Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) with traditional retinoscopy as a means of determining the approximate subjective refraction in children after cycloplegia.…
-
Currently there is considerable debate as to the nature of the pathways that are responsible for the perception and motor performance. We have studied the relationship between perceived speed, which is the experiential representation of a moving…
-
BACKGROUND: A recent review found standardised patient (SP) methodology to be the gold standard method for evaluating clinical care. Alternative methods include record abstraction and computerised clinical vignettes. SPs were compared to clinical…
-
We discuss and contrast 2 methods for investigating the dimensionality of data from tests and questionnaires: the popular principal components analysis (PCA) and the more recent Mokken scale analysis (MSA; Mokken, 1971). First, we discuss the…
-
BACKGROUND: Many definitions of frailty exist, but few have been directly compared. We compared the relationship between a definition of frailty based on a specific phenotype with one based on an index of deficit accumulation. METHODS: The data come…
-
To develop a computerized method of visual acuity testing for clinical research as an alternative to the standard Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) testing protocol, and to evaluate its test-retest reliability and concordance…
-
A new method is developed for calculating corneal curvature based on the reflected image of a series of concentric rings (keratoscopy). Previous methods had the drawback that the calculated corneal power was discontinuous in that it changed abruptly…

In 2000, the UK's College of Optometrists commissioned a report to critically evaluate the theory and practice of behavioural optometry. The report which followed Jennings (2000; Behavioural optometry-a critical review. Optom. Pract. 1: 67)…

Counting outcomes such as days of physical activity or servings of fruits and vegetables often have distributions that are highly skewed toward the right with a preponderance of zeros, posing analytical challenges. This paper demonstrates how such…
-
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions, recommendations, and educational or informational materials of licensed Wisconsin optometrists on lutein and zeaxanthin and eye health. METHODS: A 20-item original survey with…
-
Deep brain simulation (DBS) is effective for the treatment of various diseases including Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. However, anatomical targeting combined with microelectrode mapping of the region requires significant surgical time.…

Virtual environments (VEs) allow safe, repeatable, and controlled evaluations of obstacle avoidance and navigation performance of people with visual impairments using visual aids. Proper simulation of mobility in a VE requires an interface, which…
