This pivotal clinical trial is a multicenter, prospective, open label, non-randomized study being conducted in the United States, evaluating the effectiveness of the Technolas Teneo 317 (model 2) excimer laser in LASIK surgery for myopia or
myopic astigmatism.
The effect of slowing the
myopic progression with ortho-k is an unintended beneficial side effect.
A total of 32 normal eyes and 32
myopic eyes of guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups (16 eyes per group).
Fukala demonstrated benefit of this procedure in term of improved visual acuity in
myopic patients which enabled ophthalmologists widespread in Europe to carry out this surgery.
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa had met all guests at the groundbreaking ceremony of Kartarpur corridor, the ISPR had said while hitting out at what it said Indian media's
myopic view of the event.
Based on current trends it is estimated that almost 50 percent of the world population will be
myopic by 2050 or a staggering 5 billion people.
Myopia has a very high prevalence and is an independent and significant risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).[1] However, an anomalous optic nerve head (ONH) caused by myopia makes glaucoma screening and early diagnosis difficult in
myopic patients.[2],[3],[4] As a new type of glaucoma diagnostic tool, high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) can assist in the early diagnosis of glaucoma by quantitatively analyzing the ONH with excellent precision.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of refractive error and axial length on peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in
myopic, hypermetropic and emmetropic eyes by Topcon spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
Currently, 30-50% of adults in the USA and Europe are
myopic, with levels of 80-90% reported in school leavers aged 17 or 18 years in Singapore, South Korea, China and other high-income Eastern and Southeast Asian countries.
Currently, 30-50 percent of adults in the United States and Europe are
myopic, with levels of 80-90 percent reported in school leavers in some East Asian countries.
The researchers found that each additional year of education correlated with a more
myopic refractive error of −0.18 dioptres/year in conventional regression analyses of the observational data.
Objective: To investigate TGFB1 and LAMA1 gene polymorphisms in children with high myopia in order to determine the genetic basis of large
myopic shifts causing severe visual impairment and complications.
Since the end of the 1990s, several studies have shown that this procedure generates overestimation of total corneal power in patients with past history of
myopic correction and underestimation in those who have received hyperopic treatments (1, 2).
Objective: To compare of macular thickness between highly
myopic and normal children aged 5 to 8 years using optical coherence tomography.
'On reconsideration, the Court came up with the majority opinion, saying 'no.' And as I said, you cannot be
myopic about it; you cannot strangulate economic development because of
myopic views.'
