TL;DR: Citation information: Rosenfield M. Computer vision syndrome: a review of ocular causes and potential treatments.

TL;DR: The limits of agreement method was originally proposed by Altman and Bland in 1983 and is the statistical procedure of choice as discussed by the authors for agreement studies in optometry and ophthalmology, and its step-by-step use and practical considerations in relation to optometry, sample size considerations and statistical approaches to precision (repeatability or reproducibility) estimates.

TL;DR: Citation information: Howarth PA.

TL;DR: Vergence dysfunction in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is associated with atypical haemorrhaging in women androgen deprivation in men, according to a review of existing studies.

TL;DR: The role of perceptual, cognitive, and motor abilities in street‐crossing decisions of young and older pedestrians and their importance in decision-making in adulthood is investigated.

TL;DR: A comparison of symptoms after viewing text on a computer screen and hardcopy and on a hardcopy is compared to find out which method is more effective for treating eye problems.

TL;DR: The Aston Eye Study (AES) as mentioned in this paper is a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of refractive error and its associated ocular biometry in a large multi-racial sample of school children from the metropolitan area of Birmingham, England.

TL;DR: Arm et al. as mentioned in this paper provide some statistical advice for contributors to optometric and ophthalmic journals, to provide advice specifically relevant to clinical studies of human vision, and to recommend statistical analyses that could be used in a variety of circumstances.

TL;DR: Can perceptual learning be used to treat amblyopia beyond the critical period of visual development?

TL;DR: An exploratory study of visual search performance in glaucoma shows promising results in terms of precision, efficiency, and reproducibility.

TL;DR: Citation information: Mathew RS, Delbaere K, Lord SR, Beaumont P, Vaegan & Madigan MC, Depressive symptoms and quality of life in people with age‐ related macular degeneration.

TL;DR: The M4 muscarinic antagonist MT‐3 inhibits myopia in chick: evidence for site of action, and the mechanism of action is unclear.

TL;DR: A comparison of the effectiveness of two enhanced glaucoma referral schemes shows that one is more effective than the other, while the second is more efficient than the first.

TL;DR: Inferior visual field reductions are associated with poorer functional status among older adults with glaucoma and the likelihood of hospitalisation is higher among those with dementia.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the effect of the visual characteristics of obstacles on risk of tripping and gait parameters during locomotion may vary depending on the individual and the type of animal.

TL;DR: Citation information: Tsujimura S & Tokuda Y. Delayed response of human melanopsin retinal ganglion cells on the pupillary light reflex is described.

TL;DR: A national survey of diagnostic tests reported by UK community optometrists for the detection of chronic open angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Corneal biomechanical properties measured with the Ocular Response Analyser in a myopic population are measured to describe the response of the eye to tears and provide clues to the cause of blindness.

TL;DR: Citation information: Shah S, Murdoch IE, Shah S & Murdoch IE.

TL;DR: Assessment of referrals to the hospital eye service by optometrists and GPs in Bradford and Airedale found that more than half of patients referred to the service had never seen an optometrist before.

TL;DR: Evidence for a possible role for the peripheral retina in the control of refractive development is discussed, together with Howland's suggestion that signals to generate appropriate growth might be derived from ocular oblique astigmatism.

TL;DR: Citation information: Read SA, Collins MJ, Annis‐Brown T, Hayward NM, Lillyman K, Sherwin D & Stockall P. The short‐term influence of elevated intraocular pressure on axial length is studied.

TL;DR: Citation information: Page J, Bates V, Long G, Dawes P & Tipton M. beach lifeguards: visual search patterns, detection rates and the influence of experience, Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2011.

TL;DR: Optical and biometric characteristics of anisomyopia in human adults and their consequences in adults and children are studied in detail.

TL;DR: The influence of learning styles, enrolment status and gender on academic performance of optometry undergraduates and the results suggest that gender and learning styles play a role in the performance of students in the classroom.

TL;DR: Citation information: Wolffsohn JS, Sheppard AL, Vakani S & Davies LN.

TL;DR: In this article, the repeatability of lower-order and higher-order ocular aberrations measured in patients with keratoconus was explored using repeated-measures anova and Friedman analyses.

TL;DR: Decision making in chronic glaucoma – optometrists vs ophthalmologists in a shared care service is compared to avoid unnecessary surgery and improve quality of life for patients.

TL;DR: This virtual issue contains a collection of recent papers from Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics which relate to the prevalence and development of school-age myopia, and the refraction in the peripheral visual field is of importance.

TL;DR: How does the presence and duration of central visual impairment affect reaching and grasping movements in patients with severe visual impairment?
