Digital asthenopia: blue-blocking lenses and + 0,40D additional power in the near zone, for eye strain, accommodation and convergence functions

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluate blue-violet light filter and additional power of +0.40 D in the near zone ophthalmic lenses, on convergence, accommodative functions, and symptoms of digital asthenopia (DA). Methods Randomized study in cross-over design conducted on 49 volunteers (age, 29 ± 5.5 years; male...

Dysfunctional lens syndrome: a prospective review

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (5), 2021
ABSTRACT The term dysfunctional lens syndrome has gained acceptance in the field and encompasses natural changes due to aging of crystalline lens. The evolution of diagnostic devices has been a key factor in better staging, understanding and characterizing of these degenerative changes. Even with these t...

Multisectorial changes in the ciliary muscle during accommodation measured with high-resolution optical coherence tomography

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 82 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: To measure changes in the anterior ciliary muscle during accommodation at the nasal, superior, temporal, and inferior sectors by means of an anterior chamber optical coherence tomographer, and correlate them with vergence changes. Methods: Twenty-four subjects with healthy, phakic eye...

From the “small doll” until “prostitute’s pupil” through Argyll Robertson: the Argyll Robertson’s sign, one hundred fifty years from his findings (1869)

Rev. bras. neurol; 55 (1), 2019
A tiny structure, the pupil, attracts too much attention, since the antiquity. The pupil as part of the “‘window of/to the soul”, the eyes, it can demonstrate a clinical disorder sign, or simply a psychological expression. In this paper, it is studied the situation in which the pupillary reflex to...

Intermittent exotropia evaluation using the propedeutics proposed by Kushner: a 25-year study

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 82 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and surgical impacts of phenomena that could occur in intermittent exotropia. Methods: The medical records of intermittent exotropia cases from 1991 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent a series of measures, including a protocol to ass...

Assessing the accommodation response after near visual tasks using different handheld electronic devices

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the accommodation response after short reading periods using a tablet and a smartphone as well as determine potential differences in the accommodation response at various stimulus vergences using a Hartmann- Shack aberrometer. Methods: Eighteen healthy subjects with astigmat...

New concepts in accommodation and presbyopia

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 70 (5), 2011
The authors conducted a review of classical and conflicting theories of accommodation and presbyopia. They make a critical comparison with the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that have been developed in recent decades. Based on these studies, formulates a new approach on the subject, shiftin...

Estudio de la función visual en el trabajo con computadoras
[Visual function study in work with computer]

Medicina (B.Aires); 62 (2), 2002
This investigation searched for the relationship between amount of nearwork, asthenopic symptoms and visual function, in a group of office workers engaged in telemarketing. Phoria, monocular accommodative facility with +/- 2 lens flippers and near point of convergence were measured in 100 office workers ...
