Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:05:39 +0100 Performance of 'energy efficient' compact fluorescent lamps http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3233837&cid=s_32291_30_f&fid=32291&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1444-0938.2010.00462.x Conclusion: CFLs generally comply with the standards set. The basis on which equivalent wattages are claimed needs to be included in the Australian and New Zealand standard because this is the measure most likely to be relied on by the public. Due to the differences in luminous intensity distribution, CFLs may not necessarily be a direct replacement for incandescent sources without some consideration.

An interocular difference outside the normal range should alert the clinician to examine for other parameters that are more predictive of post-refractive surgical ectasia.

Few complications of lens wear were reported, probably due to the comparatively small number of patients fitted and the limited wearing time that they achieved. Delayed disclosure of lens dimensions handicapped the development of a fitting technique. An acceptable visual acuity was attained in selected cases, while reduced acuity may sometimes have been due to uncorrected astigmatism or to poor lens quality. The most serious disadvantage was the very low oxygen transmissibility that could result in marked corneal oedema.

Influenza A(H1N1), commonly called 'swine flu', is a novel influenza virus made up of porcine, avian and human genes, and preferentially infects younger people. Although Influenza A(H1N1) does not appear to be likely to cause as many fatalities as previous influenza pandemics, attempts to contain it are necessary because people whose health is already compromised through underlying chronic medical conditions are at risk of death if they contract the virus. In addition, pregnant women who become infected are at increased risk of complications. This paper provides figures on the number of cases of Influenza A(H1N1) and deat...

Red-green colour vision defective observers rely on S-cones in reading the plates. Some normal trichromats can read the hidden digit plates because they can extract S-cone differences efficiently despite the distraction from the L/(L + M) axis.

Fourth-order aberrations showed less effect of contact lens wear. Therefore, verification of the performance of lenses with aspheric optics on eye is feasible. Accurate assessment of higher-order aberrations is more difficult when a contact lens is worn. Both contact lens wear and time from blink increase variability in aberrations, which suggests a role for the tear film in increased aberrations with soft contact lens wear.

Results show that subjects' best logMAR HCVA occurs with the presence of positive residual SA. When designing the actual test lens, the targeted change in aberrations for each subject will likely be better achieved by first measuring the aberrations of a template lens on the eye and then compensating for unique subject dependent eye-lens interactions.

This effect is sustained for at least one minute and its magnitude appears to be related to the viscosity of the tear formulation.

When central image quality is good, the off-axis aberrations will have a powerful effect on peripheral image quality. When central image quality is poor, the additional effect of off-axis aberrations will be minor.

Single measurements of HO WFE become less predictive of true HO WFE with increasing measurement variability. Multiple measurements reduce the variability. Even with proper fixation and instrument alignment, pupil centre location uncertainty in HO WFE measurements is a non-trivial contributor to measurement variability.

Effects considered include blur effects on detected spot size, spot differential movement due to local wavefront curvature and source size effects. Examples are given, using a full diffractive treatment of the spot intensity patterns, to illustrate that the maximum range values found using the method of this paper result in neighbouring spot intensity patterns that are at the limit for resolution.

Optical quality metrics predictive of visual performance in normal eyes, for example, visual Strehl, lack the dynamic range to represent visual performance in highly aberrated eyes with keratoconus. Optical quality outcomes for keratoconus could be reported using many different metrics, but pupil fraction metrics, for example PFWc, perform best for highly aberrated eyes.

The typical approach is first to reconstruct wavefront phase errors from measurements of wavefront slopes obtained by a wavefront aberrometer. This paper applies a new method to this clinical problem that does not require wavefront reconstruction. Instead, we base our analysis of axial wavefront vergence as inferred directly from wavefront slopes. The result is a wavefront vergence map that is similar to the axial power maps in corneal topography and hence has a potential to be favoured by clinicians. We use our new set of orthogonal Zernike slope polynomials to systematically analyse d...

We attribute the myopic shift for larger pupils to the eye's spherical aberration. The repeatability of the Zernike terms measured with the Zywave was acceptable for the second-order and spherical aberration terms but for other higher-order terms, the variation between sessions may exceed the variation between subjects indicating unacceptable repeatability. This may have important ramifications for wavefront-guided LASIK.

With all aberrations and even-order aberrations inverted, the number of incorrect directional responses to outward moving stimuli increases, suggesting that aberrations are important in determining the initial path of stepwise accommodative responses.

The ability to measure the wavefront aberrations (WA) of an individual eye has greatly improved our understanding on the optical properties of the human eye. The development of wavefront sensors has further generated an intensive effort to revise methods to correct vision. Wavefront sensors have offered the promise of a new generation of visual correction methods that can correct high order aberrations beyond defocus and astigmatism, that is, the wavefront-guided excimer laser platforms and adaptive optics, thus improving visual performance or fundus imaging at unprecedented spatial resolution. On the other hand, current wavefront technologies suffer from som...

The results suggest that tear-film fluctuation might play a role in determining dynamic wavefront aberration and VA, however, contributions from other factors should not be overlooked. For dry eye, dynamic change in VA depends on blink rate.

It is of relevance in corneal surgery and for understanding the effect of corneal opacities and lesions on vision. Gaussian optics is used in this paper to obtain explicit equations for the geometry of the effective corneal refractive zone for a simplified eye, when spectacle and contact lenses are worn. The theory shows that lenses of positive power increase the diameter of the effective corneal refractive zone and lenses of negative power decrease the diameter. For axial object points the diameter of the effective corneal refractive zone increases by about 0.015 mm per dioptre increase in the power of t...

The results suggest that after capsulotomy, there is no significant difference in objective or subjective photic phenomena between monofocal and multifocal silicone lenses.

An improved understanding of the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the genesis of choroidal neovascular membranes has led to the creation and use of intravitreous anti-VEGF antibodies (bevacizumab and ranubizumab) and an aptamer (pegaptanib) in the treatment of these lesions. These new intravitreous injections for AMD have supplanted previous treatments in both efficacy and safety and are now the standard of care for neovascular AMD. We discuss the biochemistry of the anti-VEGF pathway.

Despite a normal sized optic nerve head, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a hypoplastic intraorbital and intracranial left optic nerve in the absence of a septum pellucidum. She was subsequently diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia with sectoral optic nerve head hypoplasia.

Further studies are needed to evaluate how different visual abnormalities will affect fixation stability during RFT testing.

Irrespective of spectacles worn, when fixating a visual target positioned at ground level, postural stability was better in the 'head flexed-gaze down' condition compared with the 'head neutral-gaze down' condition. A useful strategy to reduce falling in the older person might be to advise multifocal and distance single-vision spectacle-wearers to flex their heads rather than just lower their eyes when looking downwards.
