Case Report: Microsporidial Endophthalmitis after Penetrating Eye Trauma
CONCLUSIONS
Microsporidia are an emerging cause of stromal keratitis. In the recent past, there has been an increase in microsporidial keratitis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. History of trauma especially in rainy season and exposure to soil are reported risk factors. This is a case report on microsporidia-causing endophthalmitis after corneal tear repair. Ophthalmologists and optometrists should be aware of the possibility of microsporidia as a potential pathogen causing stromal keratitis or endophthalmitis in a setting of ocular trauma. Early treatment can result in good visual recovery. (...

Longitudinal Trends in Case Histories and Rehabilitative Device Assessments at Low Vision Examinations
This study aimed to understand changes in patient priorities and patient care in low vision over the past decade.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective study of examination records (2009 to 2019, 3470 examinations) from two U.S. low-vision clinics. Automated word searches summarized two properties of the records: topics discussed during the case history and types of rehabilitative devices assessed. Logistic regression was used to model the effects of examination year, patient age, patient sex, and level of visual impairment.
RESULTS
Collapsing across all years, the most common topic discussed was reading (78%)...

Impact of Peripheral and Corneal Neuropathy on Markers of Ocular Surface Discomfort in Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease
CONCLUSIONS
The current study demonstrated that corneal nerve loss is greater in T2DM-CKD than in T2DM–no CKD. However, these changes do not impact ocular surface discomfort or markers of ocular surface homeostasis. (Source: Optometry and Vision Science)

Corneal Confocal Analysis after Scleral Lens Wear in Keratoconus Patients: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that scleral lens wearing improves the symptoms and increased the mean length nerves after 6 months of wear use in keratoconus patients. (Source: Optometry and Vision Science)

Association between Gestational Age, Birth Weight, Parental Age at Childbirth, Mode of Delivery, and Infantile Esotropia
This study investigated the potential perinatal risk factors associated with infantile esotropia in a Chinese population, including advanced parental age at childbirth and mode of delivery. The findings may be significant in developing better intervention strategies for infantile esotropia.
PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the associations between gestational age, birth weight, parental age at childbirth, mode of delivery, family history of strabismus, and infantile esotropia in the Chinese population.
METHODS
Ninety-nine patients with infantile esotropia and 117 control subjects were enrolled between ...

Case Report: Asymptomatic Skew Deviation Secondary to Chronic Ischemic Infarction of the Cerebellum
CONCLUSIONS
It can be challenging to identify skew deviations and their underlying causes. When clinically encountering a vertical deviation, appropriate tests (cover-uncover test, Parks-Bielschowsky three-step test, ocular torsion testing, and upright-supine test) are imperative to help make the correct diagnosis. Neuroimaging can then be pursued in hopes of identifying the underlying cause. (Source: Optometry and Vision Science)

Case Report: Optic Nerve Atrophy Secondary to Sjögren Syndrome
CONCLUSIONS
Optic nerve atrophy may be the initial manifestation of Sjögren syndrome. Therefore, optic neuropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome remains a diagnostic challenge. In these cases, specific antibodies such as anti-Ro and anti-La facilitate early diagnosis and can prevent vision-threatening complications. (Source: Optometry and Vision Science)

Case Report: Choriocapillaris Flow Voids in Acute Syphilitic Posterior Placoid Chorioretinitis
CONCLUSIONS
The flow voids seen on OCT-A imaging in this case of ASPPC suggest a possible inflammatory process with a primary location in the choriocapillaris. (Source: Optometry and Vision Science)

The Value of Eccentric Infrared Photorefraction in Evaluating Keratoconus
This study aimed to determine the profile of eccentric, infrared photorefraction in keratoconus as a prototypical disease model for distorted corneas and identify a parameter in this profile for differentiating such disease conditions from healthy controls.
METHODS
Photorefraction reflex of 75 eyes with forme fruste to advanced keratoconic cases and that of 75 eyes of controls with regular refractive errors (spherical equivalent, +0.50 to −11.75 D; astigmatism, −0.50 to −4.50 D across 0 to 180° axes) were obtained over their natural pupils under unaided viewing using a custom-designed photorefractor placed at...

Correction of Presbyopia Alone Does Not Adequately Protect against Digital Eye Strain from Handheld Devices
SIGNIFICANCE
The use of screen-enabled handheld devices has increased exponentially during the last few years among the older adults. Up until now, a general suggestion for preventing symptoms of digital eye strain with large screen use was to address any existing refractive error, including presbyopia. It is unclear whether this advice is of consequence in the case of smaller handheld devices.
PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to examine whether correcting presbyopia ameliorates the negative effect on digital screen use, examining handheld devices where these issues are expected to be more acute with presbyopic...

Solution-related in Vitro Dewetting Behavior of Various Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
This study aimed to determine the in vitro dewetting characteristics of various daily disposable CLs that were assessed using a noninvasive keratograph dewetting procedure (noninvasive keratograph dry-up time). In vitro dewetting data of the same CL materials soaked in saline solution and artificial tear solution (ATS) were measured to determine additional dewetting characteristics.
METHODS
Noninvasive keratograph dry-up time was measured for six different soft CL materials and three different test conditions, in their specific blister solution, after exposure to saline and an ATS. Twenty CLs of each solution/materi...
