Detecting glaucomatous progression with infrequent visual field testing
ConclusionInfrequent visual field testing does not dramatically alter predictive values at 2 years, but does substantially delay when significant progression may first be detected. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Quality indicators in a community optometrist led cataract shared care scheme
ConclusionDirect cataract referrals from accredited community optometrists led to a majority of patients receiving a definitive clinical decision during first consultation. Postoperative community follow up reduced hospital visits and allowed for convenient consultation closer to home following uncomplicated cataract surgery. A service‐level agreement with an accreditation scheme measured against KPIs enhances the accountability of stakeholders involved in the cataract shared care scheme.

Predicted accommodative response from image quality in young eyes fitted with different dual ‐focus designs
ConclusionsDuring near viewing through dual‐focus CLs, image quality depends on the diameter of the most inner zone of the CL, while add power only affects the range of clear focus when focussing the image formed by the CL near optics. When only image quality gain is taken into consideration, medium and large IZ diameters designs are most likely to promote normal accommodative responses driven by the CL distance optics, while a smaller IZ diameter design is most likely to promote a reduced accommodative response driven by the dual‐focus CL near optics.

Foveal vision power errors induced by spectacle lenses designed to correct peripheral refractive errors
ConclusionOur results show the unavoidable errors introduced by RRG spectacles when used for dynamic foveal vision. The described method offers valuable information towards determining the best trade‐off between controlling power errors for peripheral and foveal vision.

Optical treatment of amblyopia in older children and adults is essential prior to enrolment in a clinical trial
ConclusionsImprovements from optical treatment resulted in one‐fifth of participants becoming ineligible for the main clinical trial. Studies investigating additional amblyopia therapies must include an appropriate optical treatment only phase and/or parallel treatment group regardless of patient age. Optical treatment of amblyopia in adult patients warrants further investigation. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

A basis for customising perimetric locations within the macula in glaucoma
ConclusionsWe demonstrated that it is effective to customise perimetric locations within the macula, guided by en face images of the RNFL bundles. The perimetric losses found with a 10‐2 grid demonstrated similar patterns as the damaged RNFL bundles observed on the en face images. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Analysing the ocular biometry of new ‐born infants
ConclusionThe eye undergoes a scaled growth until birth, at which time male and female infants have similar values. The models presented may serve as an early biometry reference. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Computer monitor pixellation and Sloan letter visual acuity measurement
ConclusionThe results show that grey‐scale filtering makes acuity measurement more resistant to the effects of pixellation. Based on a conservative interpretation of these findings, we make the recommendation that charts be constructed with, for filtered optotypes, a maximum pixel size of 0.6 x of the smallest MAR used and, for unfiltered optotypes, 0.35 x the smallest MAR used.

Prevalence of vision loss among hospital in ‐patients; a risk factor for falls?
ConclusionsVision loss has a high prevalence among patients in hospital medicine units, and is higher still among those who fall. Since vision loss may be a contributing factor to falls that occur in hospitals, implementing an assessment of vision at hospital admission would be useful to alert staff to those patients who are at risk for falls due to poor vision, so that preventative measures can be applied.
