The potential of using eye movements to identify markers of psychiatric, neurological and ophthalmic disorders is well researched (Trillenberg et al.2004; Clark et al.2019). Because different eye movement types are controlled by different brain regions and different neural circuits, examination of the...
The first instrument available to ophthalmologists for direct examination of the retina is a direct ophthalmoscope, which is still used today. This was first explained by Helmholtz at the end of the 19th century and has since not changed much. In its basic form, it is arranged by a light so...
“It can improve continuity of care by documenting serial exams,” she explained. “It also helps students identify what they are seeing on examination. Your student or ophthalmology resident can show it to your preceptor. Another advantage is that the images or a video can...
Older observers were recruited following attendance at the School of Optometry’s eye clinic, where they received a full eye examination to rule out any ocular pathology including macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, or other retinal or eye problems. Young observers were recruited through the Sc...
(i.e., Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment), study population (e.g., MCI, ADD) and sample size per group, ET device and technique, oculomotor paradigm, saccade task condition (e.g., gap, step, overlap), saccade parameters (e.g., mean latency, amplitude, gain,...
diabetes and body mass index ≤ 18 kg/m² and ≥ 30 kg/m², smoking, excessive alcohol ( > 14 units/week) or caffeine ( > 4 cups/day) and drug consumption, and cognitive status (Mini Mental State Examination score < 26, Mattis Dementia Rating Scale score...
Weather report data from the examination day were compared with the presenting symptoms and signs. Oslo's mean seasonal temperatures during spring, summer, fall, and winter were 6.4 °C, 15.6 °C, 9.3 °C, and − 2.1 °C, respectively. Dry eye severity level and self-reported symptoms ...
In addition, patients with higher income have been shown to have a higher likelihood of having an eye examination,14 suggesting that they may already have an established eye care professional for nonemergent problems, leading to ED use only for emergent conditions. When compared with patients with...
Our systematic examination of the current state of the literature shows that the number of chronic physical exercise studies96,118, 119, 120 is considerably lower than the number of studies investigating the influence of an acute bout of physical exercise.92,93,122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127,...
In each visit after treatment, the above- mentioned questionnaire and ophthalmic examination were repeated; the patients were also specifically questioned about the discomfort associated with the use of tacrolimus eye drop. Efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by assessing the changes in patients' ...
