Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition with approximately 1–2 per cent prevalence in the population. The condition has lifelong effects for the individual and family, and early intervention and management helps maximise quality of life and outcomes. Many studies of vision in ASD have attempted to link the behavioural and sensory deficits in ASD with underlying visual processing. From this work, it is clear that individuals with ASD ‘see’ and process the world differently, but there remain gaps in our understanding. This review will summarise our current knowledge of key aspects of v...

Does the temperature of an artificial tear affect its comfort?
ConclusionThere is no advantage, with respect to patient perceived comfort, in refrigerating the Systane Ultra (Alcon Laboratories) AT for mild to moderate DE. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Optometry)

Optometry ‐facilitated teleophthalmology: an audit of the first year in Western Australia
ConclusionTeleophthalmology is a valuable adjunct to regional outreach ophthalmology services, providing patients with increased access to specialist care for a wide range of ophthalmic conditions, and more efficient access to surgical care. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Optometry)

Optical treatment of amblyopia: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionEffect sizes were always moderate to large, whether participants were younger or older children, or whether the aetiology was refractive or strabismic. Thus, optical treatment of amblyopia should be considered prior to other treatment in those with refractive error. Improved acuity before initiating other treatment would presumably make occlusion or penalisation less onerous and may improve compliance with further treatment.

Glaucomatous progression in the retinal nerve fibre and retinal ganglion cell ‐inner plexiform layers determined using optical coherence tomography‐guided progression analysis
ConclusionsThe most common characteristic of RNFL and GCIPL progression determined using OCT‐GPA was localised thinning in the inferotemporal area. Progression was more frequently found in the RNFL than in the GCIPL, and diffuse‐type progression was more frequent in the GCIPL than in the RNFL. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Optometry)

Stereopsis: are we assessing it in enough depth?
The assessment of stereoacuity is an integral part of the ophthalmic assessment, with the responses used to inform clinical management decisions. Stereoacuity impacts on many aspects of life, but there are discrepancies reported where people without measurable stereoacuity report appreciating 3‐D vision. This could be due, in part, to the presentation of the stimuli. A literature review was undertaken to evaluate current assessment techniques, how they relate to patient outcomes, identify the limitations of current tests and discuss how they could be improved. Recent evidence has been collated on currently available test...

Changes in retina and choroid after haemodialysis assessed using optical coherence tomography angiography
ConclusionIn optical coherence tomography angiography, the retinal thickness became thinner and the vascular density in the outer retina decreased after haemodialysis in patients with end‐stage kidney disease. The change of subfoveal choroidal thickness showed no significance after haemodialysis. The decreased volume in the retinal vascular bed and deficient choroidal autoregulatory control of ocular blood flow might be involved in the mechanism of these changes.

Static and dynamic pupillometry data of healthy individuals
ConclusionsThe current study presents population‐specific normative data on static and dynamic pupillometry values in different age groups and the effect of age on pupillary characteristics. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Optometry)

Investigation of attributes which guide choice in cataract surgery services in urban Sydney, Australia
ConclusionsFindings suggest individuals prioritise attributes which consume time or incur costs when accessing care (wait time, cost and travel time). They also consider factors associated with the outcome of their cataract surgery (surgeon experience and institutional reputation). Similar to other decision‐making processes, patients are likely to trade between these different attributes depending on their personal preferences and circumstances.

In vitro and in vivo effects of ophthalmic solutions on silicone hydrogel bandage lens material Senofilcon A
ConclusionThe in vivo results demonstrate minor effects of the ophthalmic solutions on the worn lenses. These results do not support the building up of preservatives and drugs on the contact lenses as the cause of pain or discomfort experienced by some patients, which is encouraging for the use of bandage lenses in combination with ophthalmic solutions.
