(1) A future research agenda is proposed, including a controlled clinical trial of pharmacologically sustained ocular hypotension in young progressive myopes.
(2) Eleven eyes, including six high myopes, were treated using this method and sustained reattachment was achieved in eight eyes (73%).
(3) In phakic patients, retinal detachments due to atrophic holes were most common in young myopes.
(4) Horizontal ovalness or cyclotorsion, oblique insertion of the optic disc, and bean pot disc were more common in the high myopes.
(5) Patients included myopes, hyperopes, aphakes, and keratoconic and astigmatic patients; the latter patients were fit with bitoric designs for large amounts of corneal astigmatism or front toric designs for residual astigmatism.
(6) On the NR-1000F the spherical and cylindrical components and spherical equivalents skewed towards more minus (or less plus), especially so in emmetropes, low hypermetropes, and low myopes.
(7) The results showed that emmetropes, late-onset myopes (LOM's), and early-onset myopes (EOM's) can adapt to prism-induced phorias at distance and at near.
(8) A sample population of myopes with an initial correction of 2 DS or more is extracted from the longitudinal sample of ametropes reported by Saunders (1986).
(9) Further analysis demonstrated that results of unaided acuity and proximity to emmetropia were much better for low (< -2.87 D) and moderate (-3.0 to -5.87 D) than for high (> -6.0 D) myopes.
(10) There were significantly more myopes among persons with IOPs of more than 20 mm Hg than with lower IOPs.
(11) Chart rating depended on the subject's refractive status with more myopes preferring the Snellen chart and more hyperopes rating the grating chart higher.
(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.
Myopy
Definition:
(n.) Myopia.
Example Sentences:
(1) The authors have examined the effect of ultrasonic irradiation on myopy.
(2) When myopy was accompanied by astigmatism, this also decreased or even disappeared.
