The effect of blue ‐light blocking spectacle lenses on visual performance, macular health and the sleep‐wake cycle: a systematic review of the literature
ConclusionsWe find a lack of high quality evidence to support using BB spectacle lenses for the general population to improve visual performance or sleep quality, alleviate eye fatigue or conserve macular health. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Optimal orientation for angularly segmented multifocal corrections
ConclusionsThe optical aberration distributions for our population of physiologically normal eyes demonstrated improved performance for some lens design orientations (i.e., left‐right segments for 2‐zone bifocals). Taking into account the HOAs of healthy patients, with special attention to coma and spherical aberration, will increase the optical quality of angularly divided multifocal solutions.

Recommendations for analysis of repeated ‐measures designs: testing and correcting for sphericity and use of manova and mixed model analysis
This article surveys current practice in the analysis of designs incorporating different factors in research articles published in three optometric journals, namely Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics (OPO), Optometry and Vision Science (OVS), and Clinical and Experimental Optometry (CXO), and provides advice to authors regarding the analysis of repeated‐measures designs. Recent findingsOf the total sample of articles, 66% used a repeated‐measures design. Of those articles using a repeated‐measures design, 59% and 8% analysed the data using RM‐anova or manova respectively and 33% used MMA. The use of MMA relative t...

Myopia progression control lens reverses induced myopia in chicks
ConclusionsMyopia progression control lens designs can reverse lens‐induced myopia in chicks. The effect is primarily due to axial length changes. Different lens designs produce different effects indicating that lens design is important in modifying refractive error. (Source: Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics)

Myopes have significantly higher serum melatonin concentrations than non ‐myopes
ConclusionThis study reports for the first time in humans that myopes exhibit higher serum Mel concentrations than non‐myopes. This may indicate a role for light exposure and circadian rhythm in the human myopic growth mechanism. Further research should focus on younger cohorts exhibiting more dynamic myopic progression and explore the profile of these neurochemicals alongside evaluation of sleep patterns in myopic and non‐myopic groups.
