Spatial frequency of environments and myopia: a systematic review on associated...
Li, Dan-Li; Lança, Carla; Zhang, Xiu-Juan; Grzybowski, Andrzej; He, Xian-Gui; Pan, Chen-WeiPurpose: Previous animal studies have found a relationship between spatial frequency and myopia. New research in humans suggests that reduced high spatial content of the visual environment may be a contributing factor to myopia development. This study aims to review the literature and elucidate the potential biological mechanisms linking spatial frequency and myopia. Methods: A systematic search was conducted a...
Controversies in myopia control treatment: what does it mean for future research?
Lança, Carla; Repka, Michael X.; Grzybowski, AndrzejPurpose: Treatment of myopia has been informed by more than 3 decades of clinical trials and other observations. However, controversies regarding myopia control remain, such as when to stop treatment and what is the long-term efficacy of treatment. This perspective aims to describe clinically relevant and current controversies regarding myopia treatment. Design: Perspective. Methods: We reviewed clinical trial ...
Validation of binocular vision and ocular surface assessment tools in digital e...
Barata, Maria João; Aguiar, Pedro; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Lança, Carla; jMoreira-Rosário, AndréBackground: To understand if binocular vision disorders are associated with Digital Eye Strain Syndrome (DESS), a study protocol is needed to ensure consistency across observational studies. This study aims to test the feasibility of a protocol to assess DESS, screen time, binocular vision, and dry eye. Methods: DESIROUS is an observational cross-sectional study among Polytechnic students at the Lisbon School o...
Predicting children’s myopia risk: a Monte Carlo approach to compare the perfor...
Artiemjew, Piotr; Cybulski, Radosław; Emamian, Mohammad Hassan; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Jankowski, Andrzej; Lança, Carla; Mehravaran, ShivaThis study presents the initial results of the Myopia Risk Calculator (MRC) Consortium, introducing an innovative approach to predict myopia risk by using trustworthy machine-learning models. The dataset included approximately 7,945 records (eyes) from 3,989 children. We developed a myopia risk calculator and an accompanying web interface. Central to our research is the challenge of model trustworthiness, speci...
Myths in myopia epidemiology and treatment
Lança, Carla; Repka, Michael X.; Grzybowski, AndrzejPracticing evidence-based medicine requires constant effort to acquire, assess, and implement new knowledge that improves our care. Since 2013, more than 1000 publications per year have discussed myopia,1 many challenging existing medical beliefs. As in other areas of medicine, ophthalmologists are expected to translate new knowledge into their clinical practice as well as manage their demanding clinical schedu...
Prevalence of anisometropia and its associated factors in school-age children
Hashemi, Hassan; Khabazkhoob, Mehdi; Lança, Carla; Emamian, Mohammad Hassan; Fotouhi, AkbarPurpose: To determine the prevalence of anisometropia and the associated demographic and biometric risk factors in children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the elementary school children of Shahroud, east of Iran, in 2015. All rural students were recruited, while multistage cluster sampling was used to select the students in urban areas. All children underwent optometric examinations inclu...
Visual acuity in high astigmatic eyes in Salta, Argentina
Danza, Rubén D.; Szeps, Abel; Iribarren, Rafael; Lança, CarlaPurpose: To identify factors that affect uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in highly astigmatic eyes. Methods: This clinical study was performed at an Ophthalmology Clinic in the Northwest region of Argentina. The study population consisted of all consecutive patients, aged between 10 and 40 years, with bilateral astigmatism higher than 2 dioptres (D) in at least one eye. The protocol included the following test...
Longitudinal changes in crystalline lens thickness and power in children aged 6...
Hashemi, Hassan; Khabazkhoob, Mehdi; Azizi, Elham; Iribarren, Rafael; Lança, Carla; Grzybowski, Andrzej; Rozema, Jos J.; Emamian, Mohammad HassanObjectives: To determine the three-year changes in crystalline lens power (LP) and thickness (LT) in children and their associated factors. Methods: Schoolchildren aged 6-12 years living in Shahroud, northeast Iran were examined in 2015 and 2018. The Bennett formula was used to calculate LP. Multiple generalized estimating equations (GEE) analysis was used for data analysis. Results: Among the 8089 examined eye...
Biomarkers: promising tools towards the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of ...
Ruamviboonsuk, Varis; Lança, Carla; Grzybowski, AndrzejThe prevalence of myopia, especially high myopia, continues to increase in several parts of the world. Thus, using biomarkers for early myopia detection would be highly valuable for clinical practice aiding in the prevention and myopia control management. Identifying biomarkers that can predict the risk of myopia development, severity of myopia, and treatment response are of paramount significance. In this revi...
