Purpose
To evaluate the relationship between myopia and potential "myopiagenic" digital habits (excessive screen time, near face-device distance or low ambient light level).
Methods
82 university students (21 ± 3 years) underwent a comprehensive optometric examination, including subjective refraction and axial length (AL) measurements. Digital habits were objectively measured using a mobile application (app) capturing screen time, face-device distance, ambient light level and number of interruptions larger than 20″ per day (called "events").
Results
The collection of 40 M data points showed mean values: 57 ± 40 min of daily screen time, 355 ± 67 mm of face-device distance, 305 ± 215 lux of ambient light level and 52 ± 32 events. No correlation was found between spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and digital habits. Particularly, SER was more negative for greater screen times, nearer face-device distances, lower light levels or more events. AL was inversely correlated with SER decrease. Correlation coefficients were very weak (R < 0.14) in all cases.
Conclusions
The app quantified smartphone-based digital habits in a university population. The study revealed weak correlations between digital habits and myopia, indicating that longer-duration studies in a greater population are needed to obtain powerful correlation coefficients.

Purposes
To investigate the 12–month effectiveness of Diverse Segmented Defocus Optics (DSDO) and Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) spectacle lenses in a real–world clinical population in myopic and pre–myopic Chinese children.
Methods
About 364 subjects prescribed DSDO or DIMS were enrolled. Axial length (AL) and cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) changes over 12 months were measured. The subjects were further divided into age sub–group (6–9; 10–14) and SER sub–group (+0.75D≤SER<–0.50D; –0.50D≤SER<–2.00D; –2.00D≤SER<–4.00D; SER≤–4.0D). Contrast sensitivity and visual experience were also reported. The rate of myopia progression was compared with historical single–vision spectacles (SVS) lenses data to evaluate the effectiveness of the regime.
Results
317 subjects were analyzed. At 12–month, AL changes in the DSDO and DIMS group were 0.16±0.16 mm and 0.21±0.22 mm, respectively (P = 0.0202). DSDO spectacle lenses had better control effect in +0.75D≤SER<–0.50D and SER≤–2.0D sub–groups. The proportion of participants had no greater than 0.20 mm AL elongation was 65.00% and 55.41% of in DSDO and DIMS group separately. Myopia control effect in DSDO group was 47%–69% and 33%–62% in DIMS group compared to historical SVS lenses.
Conclusions
Both DSDO and DIMS spectacle lenses retarded AL elongation. DSDO showed more stable myopia control effect comparing to DIMS, especially in groups of SER≤–2.0D sub–groups and older patients. DSDO showed initial potential myopia prevention effect in pre–myopic children compared with historical SVS lenses data. However, the small sample and no control group in pre–myopes of this study are key limitations. Further research is needed to confirm and understand DSDO's role for pre–myopic children.

Background
The maximum accommodative range is a useful indication of visual function. It decreases with age, but the exact cause of this decrease is not fully understood. It is associated with the increasing rigidity of the lens and changes to the lens shape, as well as the geometry of the zonular attachments. This work aims to determine the relationship between the accommodative range and lens shape in a group of healthy young adults.
Methods
This study includes 40 emmetropic participants between 20 and 30 years of age. They filled in a questionnaire and underwent accommodation measurements using the RAF Convergence Rule and the Negative Lens Test. After a drop of Tropicamide 0.5 % and Cyclopentolate 1 %, participants underwent measurements with autorefractor, Scheimpflug tomography (Pentacam HR, Oculus), anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomography and optical biometry.
Results
The accommodative range did not correlate significantly (p>0.05) with any of the lenticular or ocular parameters considered, such as lens thickness, lens radii of curvature, axial length, or corneal power.
Conclusion
The crystalline lens shape does not affect the accommodative range of the eye. This may be due to the smaller deformation required to bring a thicker lens to the same level of accommodation as a thinner lens. The amount of force on the zonular fibres may therefore be similar, in all lenses, regardless of the lens shape.

Purpose
This study aims to compare the results of the Finger Count Test (FCT) for “Counting fingers” (CF) and “Hand movement” (HM) with the visual acuity (VA) obtained from the Berkeley Rudimentary Vision Test (BRVT) in low vision patients with different pathologies.
Methods
Uncorrected visual acuity was estimated using BRVT and using the corresponding CF or HM in 38 low vision patients (VA range between 1.40 and 3.50 logMAR). Detailed ocular pathologies were recorded for each patient. Patients were categorized into two groups: one with severe visual field defects (constrictions of the central visual field or central scotomas) due to any cause and a general group which included all other ocular pathologies.
Results
The mean age was 67 years, with an age range from 26 to 92 years. The General group revealed a median VA of 2.00 logMAR for CF and 2.60 logMAR for HM (p < 0.001). This study showed a large variation of VA from BRVT in the Visual field group and considerable overlap with the VA results for CF and HM; with a median VA of 2.10 logMAR for CF and 2.30 logMAR for HM (p = 0.824).
Conclusion
The VA found in this study for CF confirmed values from earlier studies, while VA for HM was found to be slightly worse. These findings allow a translation of older VA data of CF and HM to logMAR for proper statistical analysis. Patients with central visual field defects showed a large variation of measured VA with BRVT.

Purpose
To evaluate the repeatability of corneal epithelial thickness measurements using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and a posterior segment OCT adapted with an anterior module, in subjects with keratoconus and healthy controls.
Methods
A spectral domain AS-OCT (MS-39) and a posterior segment OCT (HS-100) with ASA-1 adaptor were used to measure the corneal epithelial thickness in healthy and keratoconic eyes. Three measurements per participant were taken, and the repeatability was described using the repeatability limit (Rlim), calculated from the within-subject standard deviation.
Results
81 eyes of 81 controls and 80 eyes of 52 keratoconus subjects (43 % cross-linking, and 13 % contact lens users) were included. For the MS-39, the central sector showed the best repeatability for both groups, with Rlim never exceeding 5 μm in any sector. For the HS-100, the best repeatability was obtained for the central sector, with the Rlim never exceeding 7 μm in any of the sectors for the control group and all but one (outer-inferior) in the keratoconus group. The Rlim for the keratoconus group varied <1 μm between contact users/non-users or between eyes with/without a history of CXL. Differences in Rlim were larger than 2 μm in the peripheral horizontal sectors between each sub-group with the HS-100.
Conclusions
Both OCTs showed good epithelial thickness measurement repeatability in all groups, though the repeatability of the HS-100 was mildly lower for keratoconic eyes. Contact lens use and crosslinking history did not affect repeatability. These OCTs effectively measure epithelial thickness in keratoconus patients, which could be helpful in monitoring keratoconus progression.

Objective
The digital transformation of daily routines has increased visual demands, especially at intermediate and near distances. The Devil multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) design was developed to enhance intermediate visual performance. This design is a novel trifocal intraocular lens inspired by the fractal structure known as the 'Devil's staircase'. The aim of this research is to evaluate the visual performance of the Devil MIOL design in real patients.
Methods
The visual acuity defocus curve was obtained from 25 eyes of healthy volunteers using the Visual Adaptive Optics Simulator (VAO, Voptica SL, Murcia, Spain). Additionally, images of optotypes simulating those seen through the Devil MIOL design were captured to qualitatively illustrate optotype perception at different vergence values.
Results
Mean visual acuity values of the evaluation were 0.03 logMAR at 0.00 D vergence, 0.10 logMAR at +1.50 D vergence, and 0.11 logMAR at +3.00 D vergence, corresponding to far (optical infinity), intermediate (66.7 cm), and near foci (33.3 cm), respectively. The experimental outcomes were indeed slightly better than numerical results obtained previously in a model eye.
Conclusions
The Devil MIOL design provides satisfactory visual acuity across three primary foci and produces extended depth of focus between the intermediate and near foci.

Purpose
The aim of the study was to verify the hypotheses that vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) induced with head-mounted device (HMD) could cause symptoms in relation to changes in the accommodative-vergence system. In order to test this hypothesis, the Virtual Reality (VR) exposures were carried out in two types of VAC: VACsmall and VAClarge.
Method
Eighteen females, with a mean age of 22.5 ± 2.0 years, participated in two 30-minutes sessions with VR, which were separated by at least one week. Two sessions were differentiated by intensity of VAC presented in the VR system (VACsmall and VAClarge). Visual parameters were measured such as associated and dissociated phoria, accommodative response, the near point of convergence (NPC), fusional vergence ranges (FVR) and subjective complaints were measured using Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ). The parameters were measured immediately before (Pre-test) and after (Post-test) the VR exposure.
Results
The subjective symptoms as nausea, oculomotor disorders and disorientation increased significantly after 30-minutes of exposure on VAClarge (P<0.05). The associated and dissociated phoria, lag of accommodation, FVR and the NPC did not significantly change after the VR exposure (P>0.05).
Conclusion
Short-term use of HMD (30-min) did not significantly affect accommodative-vergence functions regardless of the size of VAC (VACsmall and VAClarge). However, the level of symptoms increased after VR sessions, which was probably related to inappropriate oculo-vestibular relationship.
