Efficacy of vision therapy in children with learning disability and associated binocular vision anomalies
Conclusion Children with specific learning disorders have a high frequency of binocular vision disorders and vision therapy plays a significant role in improving the BV parameters. Children with SLD should be screened for BV anomalies as it could potentially be an added hindrance to the reading difficulty in this special population. (Source: Journal of Optometry)

Influence of refractive error on pupillary dynamics in the normal and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) populations
Conclusions Over a range of dynamic and static pupillary parameters, the PLR was influenced by refractive error in both populations. In cases of high refractive error, the PLR parameters may need to be compensated for this factor for proper categorization and diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Optometry)

Audio –visual interaction in visual motion detection: Synchrony versus Asynchrony
Conclusion We find a clear but complex pattern of partly synergistic and partly inhibitory audio–visual interactions. It seems that asynchrony plays only a positive role in audiovisual motion while incongruence mostly disturbs in simultaneous abstract configurations but not in concrete configurations. As in speech perception in hearing-impaired patients, patients suffering from visual deficits should be able to benefit from acoustic information. (Source: Journal of Optometry)

The effect of letter string length and report condition on letter recognition accuracy
Conclusions Higher-level visual memory functions (memory load and decay) play a role in letter sequence recognition accuracy. There is also suggestion of additional delays imposed on memory encoding by crowded letter elements. (Source: Journal of Optometry)

Accuracy of Cirrus HD-OCT and Topcon SP-3000P for measuring central corneal thickness
Conclusion OCT and UPS offered highly comparable results, whereas NCSM offered lower mean CCT values compared to the other two methods. Therefore, NCSM should not be considered a reliable method for measuring CCT and should rather be considered for assessing longitudinal changes in the same patient. (Source: Journal of Optometry)

Changes in stimulus and response AC/A ratio with vision therapy in Convergence Insufficiency
Conclusions Stimulus and response AC/A ratio increased following VT, accompanied by clinically significant changes in vergence and accommodation parameters in subjects with convergence insufficiency. This represents the plasticity of the AC/A crosslink ratios that could be achieved with vision therapy in CI. (Source: Journal of Optometry)

A Review of Mitochondrial Optic Neuropathies: From Inherited to Acquired Forms
Publication date: Available online 28 December 2016 Source:Journal of Optometry Author(s): Yasmine L. Pilz, Sherry J. Bass, Jerome Sherman In recent years, the term mitochondrial optic neuropathy (MON) has increasingly been used within the literature to describe a group of optic neuropathies that exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Interestingly, MONs include genetic aetiologies, such as Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and dominant optic atrophy (DOA), as well as acquired aetiologies resulting from drugs, nutritional deficiencies, and mixed aetiologies. Regardless of an inherit...

Analysis of cataract surgery induced astigmatism: Two polar methods comparison
Conclusion SIA value is independent of the polar method used to its calculation and slight variations in the incision position could be accepted without clinical relevant impact in SIA magnitude. Both methods [Method #1: KP (90)/KP (135) and Method #2: AKP/AKP (+45)] are useful to calculate SIA with superior incisions at 120°. (Source: Journal of Optometry)
