A comparison of colour vision tests in the presence of contrast sensitivity loss

This study analyses the effect of contrast sensitivity (CS) loss on colour vision (CV) testing, using a variety of colour vision tests. The authors used a computer model for CS loss to determine its effect on CV testing scores for...

Impact on the corneal and anterior chamber characteristics after femtosecond laser cataract surgery

Femtosecond laser cataract surgery (FLACS) is being increasingly used in the preparation for cataract surgery. Benefits of circular capsulorrhexis and reduced phacoemulsification energy have been shown in the literature. This study was designed to assess the anterior chamber characteristics and...

PlusoptiX and SPOT screening

The goal of this study was to determine whether an instrument that uses referral criteria having a high specificity (plusoptiX S08) would fail to refer children who have significant amblyopia and who would have been detected by an instrument using...
