RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Sarah Zaher Addeen, Iyad Shaddoud
BACKGROUND: We would assess the efficacy of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide IVTA combined with standard phacoemulsification on the central subfield macular thickness (CSMT), the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and the corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA) in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: In this prospective single-blinded randomized clinical trial we recruited patients with type 2 diabetes who were eligible for cataract surgery...

A statistical model of the aberration structure of normal, well-corrected eyes was developed previously (Opthal. Physiol. Opt22, 427-433, 2002.) from wavefront aberrations measured for 100 normal eyes (J. Opt. Soc. Am. A.19, 2329-2348, 2002.). The model is capable of generating an unlimited number of wavefront aberration functions for virtual eyes drawn randomly from a multivariate Gaussian distribution of Zernike aberration coefficients. This report provides evidence that monochromatic retinal image quality in virtual eyes, as quantified by 31 different image quality metrics (J...

The parietal cortex may be important in sustaining attention toward visual stimuli in peripheral space whereas the frontal cortex may mediate selective attention through habituation to peripheral stimuli. To test this hypothesis, patients with focal lesions of either the parietal or frontal cortex or both and normal controls were studied using a paradigm known as Troxler fading. Accordingly, if one fixates on a centrally located stimulus and attends to a stationary stimulus in peripheral vision, the peripheral stimulus quickly fades from awareness (i...
