Studies using concentric ring bifocal and peripheral add multifocal contact lenses to slow myopia progression in school ‐aged children: a meta‐analysis
ConclusionsBoth concentric ring bifocal and peripheral add multifocal soft contact lenses are clinically effective for controlling myopia in school‐aged children, with an overall myopia control rates of 30~50% over 2 years. Concentric ring bifocal soft contact lenses seem to have greater effect than peripheral add multifocal soft contact lenses. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

High myopes have lower normalised corneal tangent moduli (less ‘stiff’ corneas) than low myopes
ConclusionsHigh myopes had lower normalised corneal tangent moduli than low myopes, which indicated that their corneas were less stiff. This is the first in vivo study comparing elastic moduli of the cornea in different refractive groups. Further studies are warranted to understand whether a less stiff cornea is a cause for or an outcome from myopia development. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Cases of advanced visual field loss at referral to glaucoma clinics – more men than women?
ConclusionsA large number of patients with glaucomatous visual field defects are estimated to have advanced loss in at least one eye on referral to secondary care in England; risk for men more likely presenting with late disease is slightly greater than for women.

Prevalence, types and awareness of glaucoma in a multi ‐ethnic population in rural China: the Yunnan Minority Eye Study
ConclusionsSignificant ethnic difference in the prevalence of POAG was observed in this study. The low awareness of glaucoma highlights the pressing need to increase public awareness of this potentially blinding condition in rural China. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

The effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration on the lag of accommodation and depth of field
ConclusionThe longitudinal chromatic aberration causes a dioptric shift of the monochromatic accommodation response. The study did not reveal this shift to depend on the accommodative demand or to have an effect on the DOFi. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

The effect of interrupted defocus on blur adaptation
ConclusionsIntervening periods of clear vision cause minimal disruption to improvements in defocused visual acuity after adaptation, indicating that blur adaptation is a robust phenomenon. However, when the exposure to clear vision exceeds the defocused periods, adaptation is inhibited. This gives insight into the effects of real‐world tasks on adaptation to blur.

Temporal changes in contact lens comfort over a day of wear
ConclusionsIn our study, changes in contact lens comfort over a day were independent of lens material but not symptoms. Symptomatic lens wearers reported a progressive decrease in comfort, whereas asymptomatic wearers did not. Therefore, asymptomatic wearers should not be used when measuring contact lens comfort in clinical studies. The exclusion of asymptomatic lens wearers would likely increase the sensitivity of comfort ratings as a measure in contact lens research. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Collaborative care of non ‐urgent macular disease: a study of inter‐optometric referrals
ConclusionsMore widespread adoption of intermediate‐tier optometric eye‐care referral pathways in macular disease (following opportunistic primary care screening) has the potential to reduce the number of cases with non‐specific diagnoses and to increase those with a diagnosis of normal aging changes or no apparent disease. The majority of cases seen under this intermediate‐tier model required ongoing optometric care only and did not require face‐to‐face consultation with an ophthalmologist.

A sloped piecemeal Gaussian model for characterising foveal pit shape
ConclusionsThe SPG is a new parsimonious mathematical model that improves upon other models by accounting for wall asymmetry and flat pit bottoms, providing an excellent fit and more faithful characterisation of typical foveal pit shapes and their known variations. This new model may be helpful in distinguishing normal foveal shape variations by refractive status as well by other characteristics such as sex, ethnicity and age.
