TLDR
Three new methods of determining Littmann's factor q become available: simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; and ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas.Abstract:
Littmann's formula relating the size of a retinal feature to its measured image size on a telecentric fundus camera film is widely used. It requires only the corneal radius, ametropia, and Littmann's factor q obtained from nomograms or tables. These procedures are here computerized for practitioners' convenience. Basic optical principles are discussed, showing q to be a constant fraction of the theoretical ocular dimension k′, the distance from the eye's second principal point to the retina. If the eye's axial length is known, three new methods of determining q become available: (a) simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; (b) constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; (c) ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas. Results of all these evaluations for 12 subjects of known ocular dimensions are presented for comparison. Method (a), the simplest, is arguably the most reliable. It shows good agreement with Littmann's supplementary procedure when the eye's axial length is known.read more

Structural consequences of arrested foveal development in preterms with persisting signs of immaturity
TL;DR: A marked retardation of displacement was demonstrated for all IRL within the immature fovea of preterms with decreased areal and volume magnification and reduced space available for synaptic communication coupled to the degree of immaturity.

TL;DR: This goal is to describe methodology that will increase concordance across laboratories, so that the broader research community is able to cross‐validate findings in parallel, accumulate large databases with normative data across the cognitive aging spectrum, and progress the application of technology from the discovery stage to the validation stage in the search for sensitive and specific retinal biomarkers in AD.

Ocular morphology in people with Down's syndrome
TL;DR: In spite of abnormal ocular parameters, refraction in people with DS appeared to be determined by a similar correlation between those parameters as in controls, and there was no significant difference in the correlation of axial length and refraction between DS children and controls.

TL;DR: A method is described which allows the real diameter of an object on the fundus to be determined by means of a system of curves which are the result of trigonometrical calculations and which give an approximate value.

Determining the true size of an object on the fundus of the living eye
TL;DR: The result was represented by curves which enable factors used in calculating the true diameter to be determined, but instead of the curves a quadratic equation is used to produce the same factors.
