(12) The significant difference found between early- and late-onset myopes is suggested as a possible reason for the inconclusive results of some previous studies.
(13) A 56-year-old myope developed a retinal detachment of the macular area and the temporal quadrants in his left eye that harbored a temporally-located pit of the optic nerve head.
(14) Both forms of contact lenses placed greater accommodative requirements on the myope than did spectacle correction, but no significant difference was found between the 2 types of contact lenses in this respect.
(15) We measured ocular dimensions and determined the crystalline lens powers in 19 myopes and 19 emmetropic subjects matched for age, gender, and ethnic origin.
(16) The items which discriminate in favor of the myopes are essentially those which require academic achievement and individual creative performance, whereas the items which are in favor of the nonmyopes are those which require business and selling skills as well as outdoor types of activities.
(17) In general myopes exhibited a personality pattern of introversion, whereas hypermetropes maintained a pattern described as extroverted.
(18) Contrast sensitivity values were taken on seven astigmatic (cylinder correction under 1.00 diopter) and eight spherical myopes using the Vistech VCTS 6500 System.
(19) Most myopes do not progress in young adulthood (about 20 to 25 years of age).
(20) Even when allowances were made for the inherent variability of measurement of the VOR gain, myopes tended to have lower gains and hyperopes higher gains.
Myopia
Definition:
(n.) Nearsightedness; shortsightedness; a condition of the eye in which the rays from distant object are brought to a focus before they reach the retina, and hence form an indistinct image; while the rays from very near objects are normally converged so as to produce a distinct image. It is corrected by the use of a concave lens.
Example Sentences:
(1) In the group of high myopia (over 20 D), the mean correction was 13.4 D. In the group with refraction between 0 and 6 D, 88% of the eyes treated had attained a correction between -1 and +1 D 3 months postoperatively.
(2) The third patient was using an extended-wear soft contact lens for correction of residual myopia.
(3) The yield of such studies may be high for an understanding of such diseases as myopia, retinal detachment, and keratoconus.
(4) Myopia ranged from -1.0 D to -9.0 D. Forty-two eyes (53%) achieved uncorrected visual acuity (VA) of 1.0 or better and 73 eyes (92%) better than 0.5.
(5) A 69-year-old patient with high myopia was treated with retrobulbar steroid injections.
(6) We have reported the development of 1.6 diopters of myopia in a group of patients exposed to reptitive oxygen breathing at two atmospheres absolute pressure.
(7) The X-chromosomal form is frequently associated with myopia.
(8) The progress of 108 children who were identified by the vision screening programme in school as having defective vision (excluding those with puberty onset myopia) was reviewed.
(9) Extraordinarily wide angles were observed in all cases and myopia was a common refractive error.
(10) The Houston Myopia Control Study is a 3-year randomized clinical trial in which each of 213 myopic children was placed in either a single vision (standard treatment) group, a +1.00 D add treatment group, or a +2.00 D add treatment group, on the basis of a randomized procedure.
(11) The term "instrument myopia" means an accommodative effort caused by the view into the microscope.
(12) During the first month the mean myopia gradually increased to 0.12 D more myopia and increased linearly to 0.50 D more myopia at 3 months.
(13) Expansion was not related to laser wavelength, patient age, SRNV size, or degree of myopia.
(14) Young adulthood myopia progression also appeared to be accompanied by a slight tendency toward a with-the-rule astigmatic shift.
(15) This association is comparable with subretinal neovascularization in high myopia, angioid streaks, choroiditis and choroidal ruptures.
(16) After prophylactic scleroplasty for high complicated myopia the patient developed bilateral detachment of the retina.
(17) The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to both current models of accommodation-vergence interaction and the etiology of late-onset myopia.
(18) To improve scleroplasty efficacy in children at a high risk of postoperative progress of myopia the authors have developed a new surgical method involving increase of the transplant size and its preoperative treatment with a foamy composition intended for filling the body cavities.
(19) In the present study, close ophthalmologic examinations were performed on 11 patients with FCMD, and we found myopia, weakness of the orbicularis oculi, congenital nystagmus, cortical blindness, optic atrophy, chorioretinal degeneration, etc.
