Purpose: To determine the contribution of spherical aberration and coma to the total ocular high order aberration before and after femto laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis using an aspheric ablation profile. Methods: This is a prospective interventional study that was conducted on 34 eyes of 17 patients in the interval between January 2021 and June 2021. Patients did a preoperative aberrometry and corneal tomography. They underwent FS-LASIK surgery using an aspheric ablation profile. The total ocular aberrometry and corneal tomography were repeated one month postoperatively. Results: The mean preoperative contribution of coma to total ocular HOA was 52.16 % with SD of ± 25.59% which declined to 49.48 % with SD of ± 22.53 % postoperatively. The mean preoperative contribution of SA to total ocular HOA was 38.91 % with SD of ± 15.35 % which increased significantly to 51.25 % with SD of ± 16.55 % postoperatively. Conclusion: Post-operative contribution of corneal spherical aberrations to total ocular HOA showed a statistically significant increase compared to pre-operative. However, there was no significant change in coma contribution.

Objective: To assess the normal range of interocular asymmetry in retinal and choroidal thickness in healthy emmetropic (as a control group) and ametropic subjects and to describe its relationship with anthropometric attributes. Methods: A Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) was performed on 586 patients to measure the thickness of the retina and choroid at the fovea as well as at 1, 2 and 3 mm nasally, temporally, superiorly, and inferiorly. In 95% confidence intervals, absolute interocular differences were calculated to determine the normal range of asymmetry and its relationship to Body Mass Index (BMI). Results: There was a statistically significant interocular difference in the choroidal thickness at 3 mm distance from the center inferiorly (Standardized Mean Difference (SMD): -17.33, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): -29.60 to -5.07 µm, P < 0.001) in the control group, and in the macular thickness at 2 mm distance from the center superiorly (SMD: -9.76, CI: -17.40 to 2.13 µm, P = 0.01) in the myopic group between underweight and overweight individuals. Conclusion: The expanded range of retinal and choroidal thickness asymmetry found in subjects with different BMI grades in the absence of disease is of relevance when exploring these patients for early signs of ocular pathology.

Background: Contrast sensitivity, is defined as the ability to detect the lowest lumination difference between an object and the background. It is one of the main requisites for good quality vision as the eye works by perceiving an object by comparing the difference between the target and the background contrast difference. Aims and Objectives: To assess patterns of contrast sensitivity functions in patients in different types of refractive errors using Pelli Robson chart and also to measure the severity of refractive error within each group and compared the contrast sensitivity function with severity in different types of refractive errors. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 500 patients (Age range from 10 to 80 years) who presented with chief complaint of refractive errors mainly myopia and hypermetropia. Patients who had previous history of ocular surgery and other ocular co- morbidity were excluded from study. Selected patients were enrolled for the study after taking a written informed consent. The patterns of contrast sensitivity function in different types of refractive errors were recorded on a prescribed proforma with respect to: Visual acuity, type of refractive error, severity of refractive error, duration of refractive error, age of the patient, fundus examination and Contrast sensitivity. Statistical analysis was undertaken with P<0.05 significant. Results: A mild decrease in contrast sensitivity was recorded in majority of patients i.e 250 patients (50%). Maximum decrease in contrast sensitivity was seen in 31-60 years age group. A statistically significant direct correlation (P<0.05) was observed between duration and variation in contrast sensitivity. Both the refractive error showed definite decrease in contrast sensitivity and compound astigmatism showed severe decrease in contrast sensitivity. Conclusion: Despite having BCVA of 6/6, patients showed reduced contrast sensitivity, even without any retinal pathology, making it an essential part of a routine ophthalmic examination.

Background: Ocular trauma represents an important part of the pathology observed in ophthalmologic emergencies, since it represents about 20% of the reasons for consultation. Ocular damage in cranio-orbital trauma is frequent and constitutes a major but avoidable cause of acquired monocular blindness and poor vision in adults.Thus, the aim of this work is to study the epidemiologic, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this clinical entity. Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical aims; retrospective over 3 years (January 1, 2019 to June 1, 2022) on 170 files of patients admitted to the ophthalmological emergency department, hospital 20 August 1953 of Casablanca, Morocco, for craniofacial trauma with orbito-ocular damage. Results: The frequency of ocular involvement was 38.6%. The average age was 27.95 years, with a male predominance (72.3%). Lesions of the anterior segment were more frequent than those of the posterior segment (16.5% versus 4.8%). The prognosis was much better in patients with closed globe trauma (96% without sequelae). Despite this, patients may still have anatomical and functional sequelae. Conclusion: Cranio-facial-orbital trauma is a public health problem in our context and affects mainly young people. It is urgent to strengthen prevention actions at various levels.

Purpose: To assess patient’s awareness of their ophthalmic conditions following their clinic visits with the aim of improving communication between patients and health practitioners and enhancing care. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional quantitative survey carried out in subjects over 18 years of age, attending the Guinness Eye Centre Clinic (Lagos University Teaching Hospital) over a four week period in 2019. Results: A total of 250 subjects were surveyed. Male:Female 1:1.7 Age range 41-80 years. 42.4% had at least tertiary education. Although the majority of subjects (>70%) had enough time to ask questions from their doctors/nurses, 76.8% did not know the diagnosis of their ophthalmic conditions, 43.8% didn’t know their treatment options, and 62% did not know the names of their eye drops. 95.2% of subjects, however agreed that a simple information leaflet explaining their ophthalmic condition and treatment will increase their understanding. Patients with tertiary education or higher are three times more likely to have knowledge of the condition and treatment compared with patients with lesser education. Odds ratio 3.07 CI:1.82 to 5.19 P < 0.0001. Conclusion: Clinics should have counsellors who can spend more time to discuss with patients about their ophthalmic conditions. Information leaflets (in different languages) on different common medical conditions which include; Cataract, Glaucoma, Pterygium, should be printed in the simplest of language for patients to not only hear but also read to assimilate and enhance awareness in patients.
目的:评估患者就诊后对自身眼科状况的认知，以改善患者与医护人员之间的沟通，提高护理水平。方法:对2019年在吉尼斯眼科中心诊所(拉各斯大学教学医院)就诊的18岁以上受试者进行了为期四周的医院横断面定量调查。结果:共调查250名受试者。男:女:1:7 .7年龄范围41-80岁。42.4%至少受过高等教育。尽管大多数受试者有足够的时间向他们的医生/护士询问问题，但76.8%的人不知道他们的眼科疾病的诊断，43.8%的人不知道他们的治疗方案，62%的人不知道他们的眼药水的名称。然而，95.2%的受试者同意，简单的信息单张解释他们的眼科状况和治疗将增加他们的了解。与受教育程度较低的患者相比，受过高等教育或更高教育的患者了解病情和治疗的可能性是其三倍。优势比3.07 CI:1.82 ~ 5.19 P < 0.0001。结论:诊所应该有咨询师，他们可以花更多的时间与患者讨论他们的眼科状况。关于不同常见疾病的资料单张(不同语言)，其中包括:白内障，青光眼，翼状胬肉，应以最简单的语言印刷，使患者不仅能听到，而且能阅读，以吸收和提高患者的认识。

Background: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a common problem among students, with very little conducted research about it on Saudi users. The aim of this study was to determine the awareness, prevalence and risk factors of CVS among medical students at the University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the students registered in the faculty of medicine at the University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Two hundred thirty-four students were asked to fill out a predesigned online questionnaire covering sociodemographic characters, frequency of using computers, the associated symptoms and the relieving strategies. Results: The participation rate was 87.5% (n=196), of which males formed 78.1% (n=153) and females 21.9% (n=43). The age ranged from 18 to 27 years, with a mean ± SD of 21.3 ± 2.1. Participants spent variable hours using their computers with a mean ± SD of 5.1 ± 1.37. Most respondents experienced diverse symptoms (92.1%), including neck pain, headache, eye strain, redness of the eyes, dry eyes, backache and shoulder pain. Significant relationships were confirmed between the average time spent on computers daily, the onset of symptoms, the awareness of bad effects and the different symptoms encountered. Conclusion: Symptoms of computer vision syndrome are widely distributed among medical students at the University of Bisha, especially headaches which might be misinterpreted. Students’ awareness is acceptable but needs more persuasion to relieve eye stress by taking short, frequent breaks.

Introduction: It has been almost a year since our journal talked about ophthalmology conferences under the COVID-19 era [1]. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing throughout 2022, scholars and academics are finding their ways out for scientific exchange of knowledge and research advances [2]. Virtual conferences were mostly turning into hybrid form to cater for delegates from around the world both physically and electronically [3]. Going through the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) official website’s meeting calendar page, recent international conferences are 40th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) held on 16-20 September 2022; American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2022 held on 30 September to 3 October 2022, and 15th Asia-Pacific Vitreo-Retina Society (APVRS) Congress held on 18-20 November 2022. These are all conducted in hybrid formats. There are few similarities, but also differences, across these hybrid conferences.

Virtual conferences were mostly turning into hybrid form to cater for delegates from around the world both physically and electronically [3].\u0000\u0000Going through the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) official website’s meeting calendar page, recent international conferences are 40th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) held on 16-20 September 2022; American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2022 held on 30 September to 3 October 2022, and 15th Asia-Pacific Vitreo-Retina Society (APVRS) Congress held on 18-20 November 2022. These are all conducted in hybrid formats. There are few similarities, but also differences, across these hybrid conferences.","PeriodicalId":348405,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114919488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Aim: This study investigated visual outcomes and factors that impact vision in children receiving secondary Intraocular Lens (IOL) implants. Methods: Children who had traumatic or congenital cataracts and underwent secondary lens implantation for aphakia at Drashti Netralaya between 2000 and 2019 were retrospectively examined. We included all the eyes with secondary implants for aphakia correction with placement either in the bag or sulcus or through scleral fixation. We obtained data from electronic medical records and analyzed using SPSS 22 through descriptive analysis, cross tabulation and t test. We evaluated visual outcomes among different patients. Results: Our cohort consisted of 84 eyes (mean age: 7.88 ± 6.07 years). Of the 84 eyes, 24 (28.6%) and 60 (71.4%) were female and male patients, respectively and 32 (38.1%) had traumatic cataract. We observed significant improvements in vision following lens implantation (p=0.000). Those with nontraumatic cataracts exhibited better outcomes that did the traumatic cataract group (p=0.004). Corneal opacity caused comorbidities in the traumatic group (14/52, 14.29%). Visual outcomes significantly improved in young patients and were not affected by other variables. Conclusion: Secondary lens implantation significantly improved vision in aphakic children. Young patients and those with nontraumatic cataracts demonstrated more favorable visual outcomes.
