Purpose
To evaluate the association between visual symptoms and use of digital devices considering the presence of visual dysfunctions.
Methods
An optometric examination was conducted in a clinical sample of 346 patients to diagnose any type of visual anomaly. Visual symptoms were collected using the validated SQVD questionnaire. A threshold of 6...
Purpose:
To analyse the scientific evidence about the efficacy of Syntonic phototherapy for producing changes in visual function.
Material and methods:
A systematic review was performed to obtain studies on the effects of Syntonic phototherapy on vision. A search in health science databases (Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and PsycINFO) for stud...
Purpose:
To assess psychometric properties of the Symptom Questionnaire for Visual Dysfunctions (SQVD) questionnaire, including accuracy, validity, and reliability, in a clinical sample of patients having any type of visual dysfunction.
Methods:
A clinical sample of 306 patients self-administered the SQVD. Rasch analysis was performed to analyze...
To develop the Symptom Questionnaire for Visual Dysfunctions (SQVD) and to perform a psychometric analysis using Rasch method to obtain an instrument which allows to detect the presence and frequency of visual symptoms related to any visual dysfunction. A pilot version of 33 items was carried out on a sample of 125 patients from an optometric clini...
To analyse what eyecare clinicians think about which symptoms are associated with refractive, accommodative and binocular dysfunctions, and which of them should be used in a questionnaire of visual symptomatology. A Delphi method was developed, using a coordinating group and a group of experts, and the process was conducted in three rounds. In the...
Purpose:
To establish whether the cover test and von Graefe methods are interchangeable in a non-presbyopic and presbyopic population.
Methods:
We performed a prospective study on a sample of 127 non-presbyopic subjects between 20 and 45 years old and 56 presbyopic between 40 and 78 years old. Distance and near vision phoria were measured using...
Background:
The aim was to analyse the prevalence of symptomatic accommodative and non-strabismic binocular dysfunctions in a randomised population of university subjects.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted with a randomised sample of 175 university students aged between 18 and 35 years. All subjects were given a visual examination i...
Purpose
. To characterize the symptomatology of refractive, accommodative, and nonstrabismic binocular dysfunctions and to assess the association between dysfunctions and symptoms.
Methods
. 175 randomised university students were examined. Subjects were given a subjective visual examination with accommodative and binocular tests, evaluating their...
Purpose:
To determine the symptoms associated with accommodative and non-strabismic binocular dysfunctions and to assess the methods used to obtain the subjects' symptoms.
Methods:
We conducted a scoping review of articles published between 1988 and 2012 that analysed any aspect of the symptomatology associated with accommodative and non-strabis...
Background: Refractive error is defined as the inability of the eye to bring parallel rays of light into focus on the retina, resulting in nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (Hyperopia) or astigmatism. Uncorrected refractive error in children is associated with increased morbidity and reduced educational opportunities. Vision screening (VS) i...
Purpose. To analyze the diagnostic validity of accommodative and binocular tests in a sample of patients with a large near exophoria with moderate to severe symptoms. Methods. Two groups of patients between 19 and 35 years were recruited from a university clinic: 33 subjects with large exophoria at near vision and moderate or high visual discomfort...
To analyze the diagnostic criteria used in the scientific literature published in the past 25 years for accommodative and nonstrabismic binocular dysfunctions and to explore if the epidemiological analysis of diagnostic validity has been used to propose which clinical criteria should be used for diagnostic purposes.
We carried out a systematic revi...
Purpose: To determine the scientific evidence about the prevalence of accommodative and nonstrabismic binocular anomalies.
Methods: We carried out a systematic review of studies published between 1986 and 2009, analysing the MEDLINE, CINAHL, FRANCIS and PsycINFO databases. We considered admitting those papers related to prevalence in paediatric and...
The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific evidence available on the nonsurgical treatment of accommodative and nonstrabismic binocular dysfunctions, identifying the types of treatment used and their efficacy.
A systematic review of reports published from 1986 to 2007 was completed using several health science databases: FRANCIS, Medline,...
To examine the relationship between relative accommodation and general binocular disorders and to establish their importance in the diagnosis of these anomalies.
We analyzed data of negative relative accommodation (NRA) and positive relative accommodation (PRA) in 69 patients with nonstrabismic binocular anomalies.
Statistical analysis showed that...
To determine which are the most sensitive tests, together with accommodative amplitude, to classify accommodative insufficiency (Al), we analyzed the relation between monocular estimated method (MEM) dynamic retinoscopy, monocular and binocular accommodative facility (MAF, BAF), and positive relative accommodation (PRA) with or without the presence...
The accommodative response in 34 patients with accommodative and binocular disorders was assessed with two different techniques of dynamic retinoscopy used in clinical practice: monocular estimate method (MEM) and Nott retinoscopy. The data obtained by both techniques were compared, evaluating the correlation and agreement between them. Results sho...
The purpose of this paper was to study the prevalence of nonstrabismic accommodative and binocular dysfunctions in a clinical population. We examined 265 symptomatic patients who were chosen from an optometric clinic. We performed several tests to diagnose any form of refractive, accommodative or binocular dysfunction. Of the 265 subjects examined,...
This study was designed to evaluate the relation between accommodative facility and accommodative and binocular dysfunctions. We determined whether failure to achieve 8 cycles per minute of binocular accommodative facility or 11 cycles per minute of monocular accommodative facility tends to be associated with these dysfunctions. Forty eight subject...
The aim of this study was to compare MEM dynamic retinoscopy with the Nott method, to discover whether there were different results in the accommodative response and whether a relation exists between the two techniques.
We performed MEM and Nott dynamic retinoscopy in 50 visually normal university students. Both methods were performed first on the...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare MEM dynamic retinoscopy with the Nott method, to discover whether there were different results in the accommodative response and whether a relation exists between the two techniques. METHODS: We performed MEM and Nott dynamic retinoscopy in 50 visually normal university students. Both methods were perfo...
