INTRODUCTION: Modern intraocular lens (IOL) designs for cataract treatment can be broadly classified into three focal range categories; monofocal, extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) and multifocal IOLs.Monofocal IOLs allow spectacle independence for one focus, typically distance. In contrast, EDOF IOLs provide a greater range of vision, extending spect...

Christians reading Ezekiel 40–48 may well struggle to understand the City/Temple described in this vision. Is it literal? If so, when will it be built? How does it relate to the church, which is God’s Temple according to the New Testament? How does it relate to Revelation 21–22? How does Ezekiel’s Temple fit into the Bible’s plot structure and narr...
When processing a moving object, the visual system uses several anticipation mechanisms to compensate the delay induced by the photo-transduction [1,2]. On one hand, retinal gain control advances the peak in sensory cells response. On the other hand, due to the lateral connectivity, the activity begins to raise before the moving stimulus enters in ...

To determine axial length (AL) elongation profiles in children aged 3-6 years in an Asian population. Eligible subjects were recruited from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes birth cohort. AL measurement was performed using IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) at 3 and 6 years. Anthropometric measurements at birth, cyclop...

This research aims to generate normative values of hyperopia reserve and refractive progression as effective tools to estimate the risk of myopia. A 1-year follow-up study was conducted among Chinese children and adolescents aged 3-16 years selected from schools and kinder gardens using cluster sampling. All participants underwent examinations incl...

The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is increasing and treatment options are expanding, often without accompanying safety data. We aimed to define a minimal, patient-centred data set that is feasible to collect in clinical practice and can be used collaboratively to track and compare outcomes of ROP treatment with a view to improving p...
Playing two-dimensional video games has been shown to result in improvements in a range of visual and cognitive tasks, and these improvements appear to generalize widely1,2,3,4,5,6. Here we report that young adults with healthy vision, surprisingly, showed a dramatic improvement in stereo vision after playing three-dimensional, but not two-dimensio...

To prevent ocular pathologies, new generation of dietary supplements have been commercially available. They consist of nutritional supplement mixing components known to provide antioxidative properties, such as unsaturated fatty acid, resveratrol or flavonoids. However, to date, few data evaluating the impact of a mixture mainly composed of those c...
