Refractive changes in children in the Chicago area during the …
Nov 17, 2024 · Background Remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic caused behavioural changes such as increased screen time and decreased outdoor time. This study aimed to investigate myopia progression in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This was a retrospective observational study performed among 2064 patients ages 2–17 with cycloplegic refractions in the months of January 2019–March ...
Corynebacterium macginleyi: a conjunctiva specific pathogen
BACKGROUND Although non-diphtherial corynebacteria are ubiquitous in nature and commonly colonise the skin and mucous membranes of humans, they rarely account for clinical infection. METHODS AND RESULTS 10 patients with unilateral conjunctivitis are described in which Corynebacterium macginleyi was isolated. This species has only recently been reported to be exclusively isolated form ocular ...

Embracing generative AI in ophthalmology | British Journal of …
Ophthalmology has been at the forefront of research on artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. To some extent, this is due to the transparency of eye structures and the feasibility of detailed imaging, which lends itself to data extraction and high-quality databanks of digital images. Nor is that all: another reason for the pre-eminence of ophthalmology in AI …
Light exposure therapy for myopia control: a systematic review …
Aims To compare and rank the myopia control effects of different light wavelengths in children using a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis (Bayesian NMA). Methods The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and MEDLINE for relevant clinical and animal studies published as of 2 February 2023. We included studies comparing red, violet or full ...
Expansion of patient eligibility for virtual glaucoma clinics: a long ...
Aims The virtual glaucoma clinic (VGC) is a well-established diagnostic pathway for delivery of glaucoma care. Current UK national guidance recommends VGCs for patients with ocular hypertension, glaucoma suspects or early glaucoma. This study evaluates whether expanded eligibility criteria, including other glaucoma phenotypes and disease stages, can deliver safe and effective care with a ...
Foundation models in ophthalmology - British Journal of …
Foundation models represent a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence (AI), evolving from narrow models designed for specific tasks to versatile, generalisable models adaptable to a myriad of diverse applications. Ophthalmology as a specialty has the potential to act as an exemplar for other medical specialties, offering a blueprint for integrating foundation models …
Prevalence of refractive errors among school-going children in a ...
Study population. This prevalence study was conducted as part of Orbis International’s Refractive Errors Among Children (REACH) school vision screening and eye care service delivery programme.15 16 Data were collected between July 2016 and December 2019. In the area served by each partner hospital, one revenue district not previously covered by school vision screening was selected.
