Patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and subclinical corneal edema may have more visual impairment than patients with FECD and no subclinical corneal edema due to an increase in high-order aberrations (HOAs), according to a retrospective case series published in Cornea : The Journal of Cornea and External Diseases. Monitoring visual changes and disease progression in these patients can guide clinical decision making, the report suggests.

Patients with strabismus demonstrate a slower binocular reading speed, even in the absence of amblyopia, according to a study published in the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology (Canadian Ophthalmological Society). This impaired reading ability has the potential to significantly affect quality of life in these patients, according to the report.

A novel artificial intelligence (AI) model shows good accuracy for diagnosing Acanthamoeba keratitis based on in vivo confocal microscopy images, according to a retrospective cohort study published in The Ocular Surface. The model may be able to reduce the time needed for diagnosis and allow earlier intervention, the report suggests.

Patients with aqueous deficient dry eye have a tear film lipid layer that is thicker than the normal range (60-99 nm), but this value becomes significantly thinner following punctal plug instillation, according to a study published in Cornea : The Journal of Cornea and External Diseases (Cornea Society). This finding suggests that the lipid layer is affected by both meibum secretion and the aqueous tear component.

Competitive gaming increases the risk of computer vision syndrome (CVS) and significantly worsens visual performance, a cross-sectional study published in Clinical Optometry (Dove Medical Press) shows. The study also identified alcohol consumption, elevated stress levels, and exposure to high-intensity lighting as variables elevating CVS risk.
