Purpose: To investigate changes in the prevalence of visual impairment in an Italian population from 1988 to 2000. Methods: Standardized ophthalmologic examinations were administered to citizens of Ponza, Italy aged 40–87 years in 1988 and 2000. Visual Acuity (VA) was measured using a standard logarithmic chart. Visual fields (VF) were tested in all subjects with diagnosed or suspected glaucoma or hereditary degenerative retinopathy. Visual impairment was classified as blindness (VA > 1.3 LogMAR or VF < 10° around central fixation) or low vision (VA > 0.5 to 1.3 LogMAR or VF < 20° to 10°) according to WHO criteria. Results: The prevalence of binocular total visual impairments decreased significantly among 64–75 year-olds (from 6.7% to 2.6%, p = 0.045), and almost significantly among 40–51 year-olds (from 2.4%, 95% CI 1.1–5.3, to 0.0%, 95% CI 0.0–1.3). By 2000, visual impairment was no longer significantly associated with female gender, and age 64–75 years; the mean age of subjects with vision-impairing cataract, diabetic retinopathy, or age-related macular degeneration had risen significantly. Conclusions: A decline in the prevalence of visual impairment, particularly in cataract-associated visual impairment was found in the middle-aged groups. The progression of age-related eye diseases seems to have slowed in this population possibly due to improvements in the life expectancy and socio-economic conditions. 相似文献

Thresholds were measured in 15 subjects for 2-Hz oscillations of size and for 2-Hz oscillatory motion in the frontal plane using test squares of side lengths 0.5°, 1.0° and 2.0°. Size-oscillation thresholds were lowest (i.e. sensitivity was greatest) for the 2.0° square while thresholds were highest (i.e. sensitivity was least) for the 0.5° square in 28 of 34 tests. Frontal plane motion thresholds, on the other hand, did not generally depend on square size. Equal-threshold contours in the visual field were roughly elliptical in 10 of 13 subjects for both types of oscillation. None of 13 subjects had visual field defects for oscillating-size or frontal plane motion, in contrast with the known incidence of stereo-motion scotomata. One subject was known to be selectively “blind” to stereoscopically-oscillating disparity in some areas of the visual field, but oscillating-size sensitivity was normal in these regions, thus preserving an alternative basis for motion-in-depth judgments. 相似文献

Purpose: To examine whether alcohol drinking status and drinking pattern are associated with self-reported visual impairment.Methods: We used data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a state-based telephone health survey conducted by random-digit dialing among non-institutionalized US adults. The Visual Impairment and Access to Eye Care module was implemented among 42, 713 adults aged 50 years and older in 2005 and 2006. Visual impairment was defined as any degree of difficulty experienced in recognizing a friend across the street or reading print in newspaper, magazine, recipe, menu, or numbers on the telephone with usual correction. Drinking patterns included drinking quantity (drinks per drinking day), frequency (drinking days in the past month), and binge drinking.Results: After adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, smoking status, Body Mass Index, history of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and eye diseases, current drinking status was not associated with distance and/or near vision impairment. However, drinking more than 1 drink per drinking day (odds ratio [OR], 1.21; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.09–1.35) and binge drinking (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.14–1.53) were associated with visual impairment among current drinkers.Conclusion: Among current drinkers, drinking patterns were significantly associated with near and distance vision impairment. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm whether drinkers who drink beyond drinking guidelines, especially binge drinkers, are at higher risk of visual impairment than those who drink at lower levels. 相似文献

PurposeTo compare the characteristics of the pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP) in patients with severe visual loss and normal controls, and to demonstrate the range of PVEP parameters in normal Koreans.MethodsThe patients were divided into three groups according to visual acuity: group 1, ranging from no light perception to less than 0.02; group 2, ranging from 0.02 to 0.1; and group 3, ranging from 0.125 to 0.25. Group 4 was established as a healthy control group. The 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the PVEP parameters were calculated for group 4. The PVEP parameters were compared among these four groups, and the amplitudes were evaluated with respect to the 95% CIs. We used the area under the curve to integrate the sensitivity and the specificity of the PVEP parameter quantitative values (7.01 to 9.57 µV and 6.75 to 10.11 µV).ResultsA total of 101 eyes were investigated. The 95% CIs of the P100 and N135 amplitudes of group 4 were 7.01 to 9.57 µV and 6.75 to 10.11 µV, respectively. The amplitudes of P100 and N135 were significantly higher in group 4 (p < 0.001). The P100 and N135 amplitude were below the 95% CI in all group 1 patients. The area under the curve of the P100 amplitude was the highest (0.789).ConclusionsNo legally blind patient in the present study exhibited a value within the 95% CI of the controls. The P100 amplitude may be the best parameter for defining blindness in patients. 相似文献

Objective Methamphetamine (MAP) is an indirect dopamine agonist that can temporarily increase cognitive performance. However, its long-term
abuse may cause dopamine depletion and consequent cognitive and attentional impairment. The worsening of visual functions
in Parkinson’s disease and their improvement after levodopa administration implicates the role of dopamine in the physiology
of vision. This provides the rationale for the investigation of visual functions in abstaining MAP abusers. Methods We investigated changes in visually evoked potentials (VEPs) to pattern-reversal and motion-onset stimuli. Such changes serve
as indices of visual information processing in the primary and associative areas in a group of recently abstaining MAP abusers
(5 females, 18 males, MAP abuse 5.3 ± 2.8 years) and in 23 age- and gender-paired controls. Results We did not find differences between the groups in visual acuity. In the group of MAP abusers we observed an attenuation of
the early responses around 80 ms and a prolongation of the P1 peak latency after the reversal of high spatial frequency checkerboards
(10 and 20 arcmin checks). Furthermore, an attenuation of the latter positive response (170–250 ms) was observed among all
the stimuli in parieto-frontal derivations for the MAP abusers. Conclusions This is the first report suggesting a slowing and attenuation of VEP responses during visual processing in abstaining methamphetamine
abusers. 相似文献

Multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEPs) have demonstrated good diagnostic capabilities in glaucoma and optic neuritis. This study aimed at evaluating the possibility of simultaneously recording mfVEP for both eyes with dichoptic stimulation using virtual reality goggles and also to determine the stimulus characteristics that yield maximum amplitude. ten healthy volunteers were recruited and temporally sparse pattern pulse stimuli were presented dichoptically using virtual reality goggles. Experiment 1 involved recording responses to dichoptically presented checkerboard stimuli and also confirming true topographic representation by switching off specific segments. Experiment 2 involved monocular stimulation and comparison of amplitude with Experiment 1. In Experiment 3, orthogonally oriented gratings were dichoptically presented. Experiment 4 involved dichoptic presentation of checkerboard stimuli at different levels of sparseness (5.0 times/s, 2.5 times/s, 1.66 times/s and 1.25 times/s), where stimulation of corresponding segments of two eyes were separated by 16.7, 66.7,116.7 & 166.7 ms respectively. Experiment 1 demonstrated good traces in all regions and confirmed topographic representation. However, there was suppression of amplitude of responses to dichoptic stimulation by 17.9±5.4% compared to monocular stimulation. Experiment 3 demonstrated similar suppression between orthogonal and checkerboard stimuli (p = 0.08). Experiment 4 demonstrated maximum amplitude and least suppression (4.8%) with stimulation at 1.25 times/s with 166.7 ms separation between eyes. It is possible to record mfVEP for both eyes during dichoptic stimulation using virtual reality goggles, which present binocular simultaneous patterns driven by independent sequences. Interocular suppression can be almost eliminated by using a temporally sparse stimulus of 1.25 times/s with a separation of 166.7 ms between stimulation of corresponding segments of the two eyes. 相似文献

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of a visual virtual reality training system and a traditional method for amblyopia in children. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study. A total of 90 children (146 eyes) from 3 years to 12 years of age underwent treatment for amblyopia for the first time. They were divided into an experimental group (45 cases, 74 eyes) and control group (45 cases, 72 eyes). Children in the experimental group had treatment with a visual virtual reality training system, and the control group had conventional integrated therapy. Visual tests were conducted every month, and a stereopsis examination was conducted after 3 months. The efficacy and safety of the visual virtual realitytraining method was evaluated by comparing the effects for the two groups. Data were analyzed using t test, rank sum test, Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: The total effective rate for the experimental group was 87%, and was 68% for the control, and the difference was significant (χ2 =7.086, P=0.008). The results were significantly different for the patients in the 3 to 6 age group (91% vs. 74%, χ2 =4.652, P=0.031). For mild amblyopia, the effective rate was 92% in experimental group, which was significantly better than the 75% in control group (χ2 =2.908, P=0.018). For anisometropic children the effective rate in the experimental group was significantly better than the rate in the control group (85% vs. 57%, χ2 =3.840, P=0.045). When the effective rates for the two treatments were compared at 1, 2 and 3 months, the effective rates in the experimental group (43%, 54% and 87%) were significantly better than the rates in the control group (24%, 40% and 68%) (χ2 =6.308, P=0.012; χ2 =2.779, P=0.016; χ2 =7.086, P=0.008). When stereopsis was compared after 3 months, stereopsis in the experimental group (72%) was better than that in the control group (61%)(χ2 =8.214, P=0.004). Conclusions: The efficacy of visual virtual reality training is better than traditional treatment, especially for children 3 to 6 years of age and for anisometropia amblyopia. Visual virtual reality training cannot only improve visual acuity, it helps to improve stereopsis as well. 相似文献

Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate completed cognitive screens in stroke survivors with and without visual impairment to explore whether the presence of visual impairment impacts on completion of cognitive screening.Materials and methods:Cognitive screening assessment was undertaken using the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS). Data from visual function assessments (inclusive of visual acuity, visual fields, eye movements and visual perception evaluation) were analysed to determine whether presence and/or type of visual impairment impacted on cognitive screening scores achieved. Covariates, including glasses use, gender, age at stroke onset and stroke type, were used to assess confounding impacts on scores attained during cognitive screening.Results:1500 stroke admissions were recruited. One hundred ninety-seven who completed the OCS, were identified from the IVIS study database. Those who reported visual symptoms performed worse statistically on all cognitive tasks except the recall recognition (p = 0.232) and executive tasks (p = 0.967). Visual symptoms did not prevent participants from completing every section of the OCS (p = 0.095). In certain tasks, those not wearing their required glasses performed worse, including the executive function (p = 0.012), broken hearts and sentence reading tasks.Conclusions:Many tasks within cognitive screening assessment are impacted by presence of visual deficits, and adjustments, where possible (e.g. good lighting, large print) should be used to facilitate completion of cognitive screening. It is important to ensure required reading correction is worn during screening. 相似文献

A carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm often causes ocular symptoms and signs not only because of subarachnoid haemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm but also because of the anatomical location, a proximity to the optic apparatus and ophthalmic artery. In addition, the permanent vision loss may be developed by direct injury to optic nerve and ophthalmic artery after surgical treatment. Recently, endovascular treatments such as coil embolisation have been frequently used for this aneurysm with a decreased complication. However, coil embolisation may rarely cause acute and delayed visual deterioration due to thromboembolism and perianeurysmal inflammation. The authors report two patients who early or immediately developed visual field defects following an uncomplicated coil embolisation of a carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm. 相似文献

Purpose
Epidemiologic evaluation and investigating the causes of visual impairment in any society is a matter of concern and has a direct effect on the country''s health care planning. In this study we describe causes of low vision and blindness in Iranian patients referred to rehabilitation clinics for taking vision aids.Methods
In this cross-sectional study, visual acuity was classified based on best-corrected visual acuity in the better eye according to the World Health Organization definition (blindness, visual acuity [VA] < 20 / 400; severe visual impairment, VA < 20 / 200-20 / 400; mild to moderate visual impairment, VA < 20 / 60-20 / 200). The causes of blindness and low vision were determined using the 10th version of International Classification of Diseases based on the main cause in both eyes. To describe data, we used mean ± SD and frequency.Results
The study included 432 patients, 65% male, with a mean age of 43.6 ± 25.5 years (range, 3 to 92 years). Mild to moderate visual impairment, severe visual impairment and blindness were present in 122 (28.8%), 196 (46.4%) and 105 (24.8%) of the patients, respectively. The main causes of visual impairment were retinal and choroidal diseases (74.5%), optic nerve and optic tract diseases (9.8%), vitreous and globe disorders (5.3%), congenital cataract (3.1%), and glaucoma (2.6%). The distribution pattern of the causes was similar in all age subgroups.Conclusions
Diseases of the retina and choroid are the main cause of visual impairment among patients referred to an academic visual rehabilitation clinic in Iran. 相似文献14.
Purpose: To report a case of Wernicke encephalopathy after gastric bypass surgery resulting in vision loss, ophthalmoplegia, and ataxia, all of which reversed with a single dose of IV thiamine. Methods: Observational case report. Results: A 34-year-old woman presented with decreased vision and intermittent diplopia after gastric bypass surgery. She was found to have bilateral limitation of horizontal gaze, decreased vision with bilateral central scotoma and mild disc edema OU. Her cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal. A presumptive diagnosis of Wernicke encephalopathy was made. The patient was admitted, and a single dose of IV thiamine reversed the ophthalmoplegia and vision loss within 24 hours. Conclusion: Wernicke encephalopathy should be considered in patients with vision loss after gastric bypass surgery. The classic triad of confusion, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia may not be present and, although uncommon, the findings of optic disc edema and vision loss should not deter the clinician from making the diagnosis. Replacement thiamine if given promptly may rapidly reverse the findings. 相似文献

The need for precision in visual acuity assessment for low vision research led to the design of the Bailey–Lovie letter chart. This paper describes the decisions behind the design principles used and how the logarithmic progression of sizes led to the development of the logMAR designation of visual acuity and the improved sensitivity gained from letter-by-letter scoring. While the principles have since been adopted by most major clinical research studies and for use in most low vision clinics, use of charts of this design and application of letter-by-letter scoring are also important for the accurate assessment of visual acuity in any clinical setting. We discuss the test protocols that should be applied to visual acuity testing and the use of other tests for assessing profound low vision when the limits of visual acuity measurement by letter charts are reached. 相似文献

To determine whether categorical search is guided we had subjects search for teddy bear targets either with a target preview (specific condition) or without (categorical condition). Distractors were random realistic objects. Although subjects searched longer and made more eye movements in the categorical condition, targets were fixated far sooner than was expected by chance. By varying target repetition we also determined that this categorical guidance was not due to guidance from specific previously viewed targets. We conclude that search is guided to categorically-defined targets, and that this guidance uses a categorical model composed of features common to the target class. 相似文献

Effects of practicing on feature search tasks (a 2 degrees square target amid 1 degrees square distracters) for 5 days were compared between 45 visually impaired (VI) subjects with severe to profound low vision and 23 age-matched normal controls (NV). Search accuracy and speed improved in both groups. VI subjects had larger training gains than NV subjects, but their proportional gains were similar to that of NV subjects. There were no significant differences in training effect at different set sizes in both groups. Search performance on a 40 degrees field improved more than that on a 10 degrees or 20 degrees field in VI subjects, but not in NV subjects. No significant change was found between day 5 and 1-month follow-up. The fact that feature search training is equally efficient in VI and NV subjects encourages development of general purpose perceptual training protocols for low vision rehabilitation. 相似文献

A 50-year-old man had undergone lumbar vertebral surgery and was confined to bed in the supine position for three months. When he sat up from the prolonged supine position, he showed clinical signs of orthostatic hypotension and reported decreased vision in both eyes. He also had underlying anemia. Ophthalmologic findings suggested bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) as the cause of the visual loss. Although there are numerous reports of ION in the setting of hemodynamic compromise, such as systemic hypotension, cases of ION-associated orthostatic hypotension are very rare. 相似文献

Background:Given the impact of visual acuity results on diagnosis and management, it is essential that the test is accurate, determined by factors such as test-retest variability. Standardisation improves accuracy, which can be performed via a computerised staircase methodology. Standard clinical tests with scoring of 0.02 per optotype implies an incremental score per optotype despite optotype size remaining constant on each line. The aim of this study is to establish if near continuous incremental optotype display and scoring improves test-retest variability compared to current testing methods.Methods:A computerised three up, one down adaptive staircase was used to display Kay Picture optotypes on an LCD monitor. Three methods of visual acuity assessment were undertaken: ETDRS, Kay Pictures and computerised Kay Pictures. Tests were performed twice under standard clinical conditions.Results:One hundred nineteen adults were tested. Test-retest variability for computerised Kay pictures was 0.01 logMAR (±0.04, p = 0.001). Good levels of agreement were observed for computerised Kay pictures in terms of test-retest variability, where the test had the smallest mean bias (0.01 logMAR compared to 0.03 and 0.08 logMAR for Kay Pictures and ETDRS respectively) and narrowest limits of agreement. Participants performed better in computerised Kay pictures than Kay Pictures by 0.03 logMAR, and better in ETDRS than computerised Kay pictures by 0.1 logMAR.Conclusion:Computerised Kay pictures exhibited a low test-retest variability, demonstrating it is reliable and repeatable. This repeatability measure is lower than the test-retest variability of the ETDRS and Kay Pictures tests. 相似文献
