Tear meniscus height agreement and reproducibility between two corneal topograp...
Soares, Ivo; Ramalho, Eva; Brardo, Francisco M.; Nunes, Amélia FernandesClinical relevance: Tear meniscus height (TMH) is an important clinical marker in dry eye diagnosis and management. Purpose: To evaluate the reproducibility and agreement of TMH measurements in non-clinical participants using the Oculus Keratograph 5 M, Medmont Meridia, and Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Spectralis SD-OCT). Methods: Fifty-six participants (mean 43.8 ± 22.4 years) were recruited f...
Convergence insufficiency and accommodative insufficiency in children
Nunes, Amélia; Monteiro, Pedro; Brardo, Francisco M.; Nunes, AntónioPurpose: Convergence and accommodative insufficiency represent the main cause of complaints during close visual work and can reduce visual performance and comfort. Knowing their prevalence among schoolchildren is fundamental to define strategies for action. The purpose of this study was to estimate the frequency of these conditions in children in 5th and 6th school years in inland Portugal and to assess the imp...
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Adults With Amblyopia
Tuna, Ana Rita; Pinto, Nuno; Brardo, Francisco M.; Fernandes, Andresa; Nunes, Amélia; Patto, Maria Da Assunção VazThrough transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) it is possible to change cortical excitability of the visual cortex, and to influence binocular balance. The main goal of our study is to assess the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation, specifically theta burst stimulation (TBS), in a group of amblyopic volunteers measuring several visual parameters: visual acuity, suppressive imbalance, and stereoacuity.
