Clin Ophthalmol 2024; 18:1637-1650. [PMID: 38855012 PMCID: PMC11162624 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s459684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To determine if the changes in stereoacuity and aniseikonia, following bilateral implantation of presbyopia correcting intraocular lenses could be predicted from preoperative measurements of higher order aberrations (HOAs), axial lengths (AL), refractive errors (RE) and corrected visual acuities (CVAs). Patients and Methods Stereoacuity (Randot tests, @6m & 40cm, in steps of 20 arcsecs") vertical and horizontal aniseikonia (Awaya test @6m, in steps of 1%) with best correction and HOAs (Shack-Hartmann aberrometer) were measured before, 3 and 6 months after uncomplicated bilateral phacoemulsification. Twenty patients (I) underwent a mix-and-match procedure (Tecnis MF, ZKB00 in one eye and ZLB00 in the other), 17 (II) were implanted with a trifocal (AT LISA 839 triMP) and 18 (III) with a one-piece diffractive (Synergy OU) intraocular lens. The resultant aniseikonia (AR) of vertical and horizontal pairs of aniseikonia measurements was calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. Twenty untreated age/gender matched cases were recruited as controls (IV). Results The key results (p < 0.001) were a) stereoacuity at distance (SAD) and near (SAN) improved, AR reduced in groups I, II & III remaining unchanged in group IV; b) some significant intergroup differences in SAD, SAN & AR were detected at postop; c) at 6 months postop, changes (Δ=pre- minus postoperative value) correlated with preoperative values (x). Linear regression revealed, I ΔSAD=0.66x-57.47 [0.832, ±66.4], ΔSAN=0.96x-34.59 [0.821, ±16.9], ΔAR=0.93AR-2.12 [0.795, ±1.4] II ΔSAD=0.79x-62.91 [0.916, ±38.1], ΔSAN=0.96x-31.49 [0.892, ±8.0], ΔAR=0.91AR-0.91 [0.839, ±1.3] III ΔSAD=0.67x-35.50 [0.991, ±23.7], ΔSAN=0.88x-38.51[0.988, ±10.6], ΔAR=0.86AR-0.96 [0.900, ±1.3]. Figures in parentheses are the corresponding rs and ±limits of agreement between actual and estimated values. Definitive overarching associations connecting interocular differences in HOAs, AL, RE, and CVAs with SAD, SAN and AR were not found. Conclusion Changes in stereoacuity and aniseikonia can be predicted using preoperative values. ΔSAN can be predicted within ±1, and ΔAR within ±2, scale divisions. In group III ΔSAD can be predicted within ±1, and in group I ±3, scale divisions.

[PMID: 38242948 PMCID: PMC11126622 DOI: 10.1038/s41433-024-02931-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess height and weight as possible sex-specific risk factors for bilateral myopia among young adults. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study including 101,438 pre-enlisted young adult males and females, aged 17.4 ± 0.6 and 17.3 ± 0.5 years, respectively, and born during 1971-1994. Categories of BMI (body mass index) were defined according to sex-related percentiles for 17-year-olds following U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts, and subjects were divided into five height and weight categories according to sex-adjusted percentiles. Data included best-corrected visual acuity, diverse socio-demographic variables, anthropometric indices, and refractive errors, namely bilateral myopes and emmetropes. RESULTS The prevalence of bilateral myopia in males and females was 19.1% and 26.0%, respectively. Bilateral myopia displayed a J-shaped associated with BMI, achieving statistical significance only among males (p < 0.0001). Weight displayed a U-shaped association with bilateral myopia among both young males (p < 0.0001) and females (p < 0.005). A higher prevalence of bilateral myopia was observed only among males of the lower height category (p < 0.0001), even when controlling for BMI (from normal to obesity). In a multivariable regression model, obesity was associated with higher prevalence of bilateral myopia (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.07-1.38, p = 0.002), only among males. There were no interactions of BMI with height or weight. Bilateral myopia was also associated with prehypertension among males (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.15, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A higher risk for bilateral myopia was associated with either BMI solely or height and weight, as well as pre-hypertension, in males. The possible association with low height requires further research.

Abstract
Background Aniseikonia is a binocular vision disorder that has been associated with asthenopic symptoms. However, asthenopia has been evaluated with subjective tests that make difficult to determine the level of aniseikonia. This study aims to objectively evaluate the impact of induced aniseikonia at different levels on visual fatigue by measuring the orbicularis oculi muscle activity in the dominant and non-dominant eyes while performing a reading task. Methods Twenty-four collegiate students (24.00 ± 3.86 years) participated in this study. Participants read a passage for 7 minutes under four degrees of aniseikonia (0%, 3%, 5% and 10%) at 50 cm. Orbicularis oculi muscle activity of the dominant and non-dominant eye was recorded by surface electromyography. In addition, visual discomfort was assessed after each task by completing a questionnaire. Results Orbicularis oculi muscle activity increased under induced aniseikonia (i.e., greater values for the 10% condition in comparison to 0%, and 3% conditions (p = 0.034 and p = 0.023, respectively)). No statistically significant differences were observed in orbicularis oculi muscle activity for the time on task and between the dominant and non-dominant eyes. Additionally, higher levels of subjective visual discomfort were observed for lower degrees of induced aniseikonia. Conclusion Induced aniseikonia increases visual fatigue at high aniseikonia degrees as measured by the orbicularis oculi muscle activity, and at low degrees as measured with subjective questionnaires. These findings may be of relevance to better understand the visual symptomatology of aniseikonia.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the differences in accommodation and binocular vision in children with myopic anisometropia and determine the correlation with anisometropia. Method A total of 110 patients with myopia aged 8-15 years were recruited from June 2021 to February 2022 from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. Based on the interocular differences of spherical equivalent refraction, patients were divided into the isometropia (35 children), low anisometropia (LA group, 42 children), and high anisometropia (HA group, 33 children). The variables assessed were refraction, heterophoria, amplitude of accommodation (AMP), accommodative response (AR), gradient AC/A, positive and negative relative accommodation (PRA/NRA), and near stereopsis in the three groups. Pearson's correlation coefficient tests were used to investigate the possible association between each parameter and interocular differences (IODs). Results Among 110 subjects, there were 49 males and 61 females with a mean age of 11.39 ± 2.28 years. Compared with those in the isometropia group, AMP was lower and near stereopsis was higher in the LA group, and the distance and near heterophoria, PRA, AR, and near stereopsis were higher, and PRA, AMP, and gradient AC/A were lower in the HA group (all P < 0.05). Compared with those in the LA group, the near stereopsis, AR, and the near stereopsis were higher in the HA group, and the gradient AC/A was lower (all P < 0.05). However, no significant differences existed in the negative relative accommodation (P > 0.05). The distance and near heterophoria, AR, AMP, and near stereopsis were observed to be correlated with IODs, respectively (r = -0.259, p = 0.006; r = -0.201, p = 0.036; r = 0.306, p = 0.001; r = -0.315, p = 0.001; r = 0.535, p < 0.001). Conclusion Our results suggested that with the increase of anisometropia, distance and near heterophoria, AR, AMP, and near stereopsis had a tendency to get worse in children with myopic anisometropia.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The determination of aniseikonia tolerance may aid in developing optimal treatment plans for cataract surgery, refractive surgery, and refractive correction with glasses and contact lenses. PURPOSE This study aimed to measure aniseikonia tolerance. METHODS We included 33 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 28.9 ± 6.4 years; male/female, 12:21) with anisometropia ≤1.0 D and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity of 20/20 or more in both eyes, with no ophthalmologic disease other than refractive errors and no history of ocular surgery. The exclusion criteria were anisometropia >1.0 D, axial length difference >0.5 mm, corneal refractive power difference >0.5 D, astigmatism >3.0 D, stereoacuity threshold >100 arcsec according to the Titmus Stereo Test, and >0% aniseikonia according to the New Aniseikonia Test. Aniseikonia tolerance was assessed using Eyemark Hello, a haploscope using gaze detection technology. Although the optotype of one eye was enlarged or reduced at a speed of 2%/s, the patients were instructed to press a button on the controller to indicate blurring, flickering, and diplopia. The value at which the patient responded was considered the aniseikonia tolerance value and assessed thrice per eye, five times if the values were highly variable, and then averaged. RESULTS The mean aniseikonia tolerance was approximately 3%; the median value was approximately 2% (range, 1.0 to 11.5%; dominant eye, 3.3 ± 2.6%; nondominant eye, 2.9 ± 1.8%). No significant difference in aniseikonia tolerance between the dominant and nondominant eyes was observed for the enlarged optotypes. No case showed changes in the ocular alignment before discomfort occurred. No significant correlation was observed between aniseikonia tolerance and anisometropia, axial length difference, corneal power difference, and ocular deviation. CONCLUSIONS Aniseikonia should be maintained at <2% for a comfortable visual environment. Aniseikonia tolerance may be an important indicator for cataract surgery, refractive surgery, and spectacle correction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the effectiveness of the Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) in evaluating visual symptoms in young adults with convergence excess (CE). METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed based on a population of optometry students. Comprehensive binocular vision tests including cover test, near point of convergence, fusional vergence and accommodative amplitude, were performed. Participants were categorised into three groups: normal binocular vision (NBV), CE and CE + accommodative insufficiency (AI) (i.e., CE + AI). The CISS was administered to each participant. An analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction was performed to compare clinical measures among the three groups. A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the ability of CISS to differentiate CE from the NBV population. RESULTS A total of 181 participants were enrolled, including 96 in the NBV group, 66 in the CE group and 19 in the CE + AI group. A significant difference in CISS score was detected between the three groups (p < 0.001). Post-hoc tests showed significantly higher CISS scores in the CE group (16.7 ± 10.8) and the CE + AI group (19.7 ± 10.9) compared with the NBV group (12.2 ± 7.8) (p = 0.01 and p = 0.005, respectively), with no difference between the CE and the CE + AI groups (p = 0.52). The ROC curve showed the CISS poorly (but significantly) differentiated CE from NBV (area under the curve = 0.62, p = 0.01). The optimal cutoff value for a CISS score to differentiate CE was 16, with sensitivity and specificity of 52% and 72%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Young adults with CE had significantly higher CISS scores than those with NBV. Although using the CISS solely for diagnosing CE is not recommended, it can be used to provide a measure of symptoms in individuals identified as having CE based on clinical measurements.

Abstract
Objective To investigate anisometropia's prevalence and associated factors in school-aged children. Methods A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted in Shandong Province, China, including children aged 4 to 17 from 9 schools. Anisometropia was defined as the differences between the two eyes in spherical equivalent (SE) or cylinder degree of 1.00 diopter (D) or more [SE or cylindrical (CYL) difference ≥ 1.00 D] after cycloplegic autorefraction. The Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was used to analyze the effects of ocular parameters [the differences between eyes in axial length (AL), habitual visual acuity (HVA), and corneal astigmatism (CA)] and lifestyle parameters (time spent indoor near work and outdoor activities) on anisometropia. Results Total 4,198 (93.4%) of the 4,494 children were included in the statistical analysis. The mean difference in inter-eye SE was 0.42 ± 0.61 D. The prevalence of anisometropia was 13.2% (95%CI: 12.1 to 14.2%) (SE anisometropia's prevalence:10.3%; CYL anisometropia's prevalence: 4.1%), increased with older age (OR = 1.10, P = 0.002), the worse myopic eye (myopia vs. premyopia, OR = 1.87, P = 0.002), the worse hyperopic eye (hyperopia vs. premyopia, OR = 1.77, P = 0.013), larger difference in inter-eye AL (0.1-0.3 vs. ≤ 0.1, OR = 1.67, P = 0.008; >0.3 vs. ≤ 0.1, OR = 28.61, P < 0.001), HVA (>0.2 vs. ≤ 0.2, OR = 3.01, P < 0.001), CA (OR = 6.24, P < 0.001), the worse stereoacuity (>100 vs. ≤ 100, OR = 1.59, P = 0.001), longer indoor near work time per day on weekends (4-8 vs. <4, OR = 1.41, P = 0.038; ≥8 vs. <4, OR = 1.40, P = 0.131), and shorter outdoor activity time per day on weekdays (≥1 vs. <1, OR = 0.75, P = 0.046) in multivariable analysis. In the SE anisometropia group, the difference in inter-eye AL (>0.3 vs. ≤ 0.1, β: 0.556, 95%CI: 0.050 to 1.063), HVA (>0.2 vs. ≤ 0.2, β: 0.511, 95%CI: 0.312 to 0.710), and CA (β: 0.488, 95%CI: 0.289 to 0.688), stereoacuity (>100 vs. ≤ 100, β: 0.299, 95%CI: 0.110 to 0.488) had a positive impact on the difference in inter-eye SE. Conclusions Ocular parameters and lifestyle parameters are associated with the occurrence of anisometropia in children aged 4 to 17 years, including the difference in inter-eye AL, HVA, CA, stereoacuity, indoor near work time, and outdoor activity time. Preventing myopia and early treating anisometropic amblyopia may be effective ways to reduce the prevalence of anisometropia.

Abstract
Background Overall ocular magnification (OOM) and meridional ocular magnification (MOM) with consequent image distortions have been widely ignored in modern cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate OOM and MOM in a general situation with an astigmatic refracting surface. Methods From a large dataset containing biometric measurements (IOLMaster 700) of both eyes of 9734 patients prior to cataract surgery, the equivalent (PIOLeq) and cylindric power (PIOLcyl) were derived for the HofferQ, Haigis, and Castrop formulae for emmetropia. Based on the pseudophakic eye model, OOM and MOM were extracted using 4 × 4 matrix algebra for the corrected eye (with PIOLeq/PIOLcyl (scenario 1) or with PIOLeq and spectacle correction of the residual refractive cylinder (scenario 2) or with PIOLeq remaining the residual uncorrected refractive cylinder (blurry image) (scenario 3)). In each case, the relative image distortion of MOM/OOM was calculated in %. Results On average, PIOLeq/PIOLcyl was 20.73 ± 4.50 dpt/1.39 ± 1.09 dpt for HofferQ, 20.75 ± 4.23 dpt/1.29 ± 1.01 dpt for Haigis, and 20.63 ± 4.31 dpt/1.26 ± 0.98 dpt for Castrop formulae. Cylindric refraction for scenario 2 was 0.91 ± 0.70 dpt, 0.89 ± 0.69 dpt, and 0.89 ± 0.69 dpt, respectively. OOM/MOM (× 1000) was 16.56 ± 1.20/0.08 ± 0.07, 16.56 ± 1.20/0.18 ± 0.14, and 16.56 ± 1.20/0.08 ± 0.07 mm/mrad with HofferQ; 16.64 ± 1.16/0.07 ± 0.06, 16.64 ± 1.16/0.18 ± 0.14, and 16.64 ± 1.16/0.07 ± 0.06 mm/mrad with Haigis; and 16.72 ± 1.18/0.07 ± 0.05, 16.72 ± 1.18/0.18 ± 0.14, and 16.72 ± 1.18/0.07 ± 0.05 mm/mrad with Castrop formulae. Mean/95% quantile relative image distortion was 0.49/1.23%, 0.41/1.05%, and 0.40/0.98% for scenarios 1 and 3 and 1.09/2.71%, 1.07/2.66%, and 1.06/2.64% for scenario 2 with HofferQ, Haigis, and Castrop formulae. Conclusion Matrix representation of the pseudophakic eye allows for a simple and straightforward prediction of OOM and MOM of the pseudophakic eye after cataract surgery. OOM and MOM could be used for estimating monocular image distortions, or differences in overall or meridional magnifications between eyes.

Zhang KY, Lyu HB, Yang JR, Qiu WQ. Efficacy of long-term orthokeratology treatment in children with anisometropic myopia. Int J Ophthalmol 2022; 15:113-118. [PMID: 35047365 DOI: 10.18240/ijo.2022.01.17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM To explore the efficacy of the orthokeratology lens for anisometropic myopia progression. METHODS A retrospective study was performed. Cycloplegic refraction and axial length (AL) were collected from 50 children (10.52±1.72y) who visited Peking University Third Hospital from July 2015 to August 2020. These children's one eyes (Group A) received monocular orthokeratology lenses at first, after different durations (12.20±6.94mo), their contralateral eyes (Group B) developed myopia and receive orthokeratology as well. The data in 1-year of binocular period were recorded. AL growth rate (difference of follow-up and baseline per month) were compared between two groups by paired t test. Interocular differences of AL were compared by Wilcoxon test. RESULTS During monocular period, the AL growth rate of the Group A (0.008±0.022 mm/mo) was significantly slower than that of the Group B (0.038±0.018 mm/mo; P<0.0001). However, during binocular period, the AL growth rate of the Group A (0.026±0.014 mm/mo) was significantly faster than that of the Group B (0.016±0.015 mm/mo; P<0.0001). The AL difference between both eyes was 0.6 (0.46) mm, then significantly decreased to 0.22 (0.39) mm when started binocular treatment (P<0.0001). However, it was significantly increased to 0.30 (0.32) mm after a year (P<0.0001), but still significantly lower than baseline (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION The orthokeratology lens is efficient for control the AL elongation of monocular myopia eyes and reduce anisometropia. For the condition that the contralateral eyes develop myopia and receive orthokeratology lens later, there is no efficiency observed on control interocular difference of AL during binocular treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: To date, there is a number of debatable aspects of cataract phacoemulsification in the literature, one of which is the investigation of features of the surgery in patients with visually stressful work.
AIM: The aim is to investigate the dynamics of the best corrected distance visual acuity and quality of life in heavy visual workload patients with bilateral cataract before and after phacoemulsification.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We observed 32 heavy visual workload patients with binocular cataracts. All patients underwent standard phacoemulsification using Infiniti (Alcon, USA) or Constellation (Alcon, USA) devices according to the standard technique. The quality of life was assessed using the tested in refractive surgery QOL-25 questionnaire.
RESULTS: The high efficiency of phacoemulsification surgery was established, which is confirmed (14 days after the second procedure) by an increase in best corrected distance visual acuity to an average value of 0.920.95 relative units. Along with this, a certain quality of life dynamics of was revealed, which is manifested by a statistically significant deterioration (by 2.34.7%, p = 0.020.008) in the index in 14 and 21 days after the first surgical procedure compared to the data obtained at 7 days after first operation.
CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of binocular cataracts in heavy visual workload patients is based on earlier (in 710 days) surgery on the second eye or performing an immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery.

Abstract
This review presents the main pros and cons of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery versus delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery. The main arguments against immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery are the likelihood of postoperative bilateral endophthalmitis and refractive errors. At the same time, a careful selection of patients, implementation of safety recommendations and the use of intracameral antibiotics, combined with the improvement of formulas for calculating intraocular lenses, provide the advantages of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery associated with the rapid rehabilitation of patients after surgery and economic reasons.

Impact on binocular visual function of small-incision lenticule extraction for high myopia. J Cataract Refract Surg 2021; 47:430-438. [PMID: 33181628 DOI: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000000480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for high myopia reduces the binocular visual function assessed by stereoacuity, binocular visual acuity, binocular contrast sensitivity, and binocular summation. SETTING University hospital. DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS Patients with a myopic spherical equivalent of at least 6.00 diopters (D) scheduled for SMILE aimed at emmetropia were included. Psychophysical testing was performed with correction preoperatively but no correction postoperatively. Stereoacuity was assessed with the Randot Circles test and the near Frisby test, visual acuity (monocular and binocular) was assessed with high-contrast Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts, and contrast sensitivity (monocular and binocular) was assessed with the Pelli-Robson chart and the Freiburg Acuity and Contrast Test. Binocular summation was calculated by comparing the binocular score against the best monocular score. RESULTS A total of 138 eyes of 69 patients were included. The mean spherical equivalent changed from -7.46 D ± 1.06 (SD) to -0.23 D ± 0.40 postoperatively. Stereoacuity did not change significantly postoperatively; median change (interquartile range) was -0.32 (-6.21 to 1.55) seconds of arc with the Frisby test and 0.00 (-7.5 to 5.0) seconds of arc with the Randot test (P ≥ .06). Binocular postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity was not different from the preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (P = .40). Contrast sensitivity declined slightly monocularly with both tests of contrast sensitivity but was unaltered binocularly (P ≥ .08). Binocular summation for visual acuity and contrast sensitivity was unaltered following surgery (P ≥ .09). CONCLUSIONS SMILE for high myopia did not reduce the binocular function assessed by stereoacuity, binocular visual acuity, binocular contrast sensitivity, and binocular summation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluates current available endpoints for epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery and examine their correlation to patient reported outcomes (PRO). METHODS Retrospective study including 38 eyes of 38 patients who underwent cataract extraction and subsequent vitrectomy for idiopathic ERM. The fellow eye was phakic with good visual acuity. The registered outcomes were monocular and binocular visual acuity, stereoacuity, M-chart metamorphopsia score, aniseikonia and aniseikonia tolerance range (ATR). Two questionnaires were completed: the convergence insufficiency symptom survey and Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-39). RESULTS Median total aniseikonia was 11% (range 0-35). There was a statistically significant correlation between the mean total M-chart score of the study eye and VFQ-Near (Spearman rho: VFQ-Near: -0.54, p < 0.01). There was no correlation between the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the project eye, binocular BCVA, stereoacuity, ATR or mean total aniseikonia and PRO (Spearman p-values > 0.05). There was no correlation between mean total aniseikonia and mean total M-chart score (Spearman rho: 0.21 p = 0.26). There was a large variation between the mean total M-chart scores and questionnaire results. CONCLUSION The mean total M-chart score is currently the best end-points to predict PRO of ERM surgery; however, it is possible to have high M-chart values and have no visual complaints.

The Influence of COVID-19 Isolation on Physical Activity Habits and Its Relationship with Convergence Insufficiency. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17207406. [PMID: 33053701 PMCID: PMC7601297 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17207406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effects of confinement due to COVID-19 isolation on visual function, considering insufficient convergence as one of the possible effects of living the whole day in a reduced space. We pass a Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) among 235 people to detect their habits before and after 25 confinement days. The data collection protocol consisted on a Google forms questionnaire included two parts: the first with current data (isolation period) and a second with pre-isolation period data. Differences between the pre-isolation and isolation period were calculated using the related paired T-tests. When statistically significant differences were found, the effect size was estimated using the Cohen’s d index (d). The reduction in physical activity levels during confinement were related to the increase in total number of minutes of screen consumption from 433.49 min to 623.97 min per day (d = 0.67; 44.01%). The CISS scores were increased by more than 43% during confinement. The increase in convergence insufficiency was 100% after the studied isolation period of 25 days. The 92.19% increase in television use during 25 days of confinement is not responsible for the increase in convergence insufficiency. However, due to the increase in the use of PCs in this period, there is a notable increase in convergence insufficiency. Therefore, we can conclude that not all increases in tasks with electronic devices are responsible for the increase in convergence insufficiency.
