Summary: In patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who had previously undergone laser refractive surgery for myopia in a myopia epidemic area, younger age, male sex, and macular detachment were associated with poor visual outcome. It is recommended to provide more education about laser refractive surgery, myopia, and retinal detachment to prevent or early detect the occurrence of retinal detachment.

Summary: The quantitative evaluation of peripheral ocular optics is crucial for myopia research and studying visual performance in individuals with normal and compromised central vision. We have developed a widefield scanning wavefront sensor (WSWS) that can scan along any retinal meridian while maintaining natural central fixation. The WSWS utilizes a unique scanning method involving a motorized rotary stage and a goniometer to scan horizontally and vertically, allowing for the evaluation of four meridians within 5 seconds.

Summary: This study observed the association between regional peripheral refraction and myopia development in young Chinese individuals. Findings show that peripheral refraction error increased with eccentricity, and it varied significantly with myopia severity between 20 and 35 degrees of eccentricity. Additionally, axial length was positively correlated with peripheral refraction error.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the misconceptions and potential artefacts associated with measuring peripheral refractive error and eye length, and discusses their implications for determining retinal shape and myopia development. Several issues were identified, such as the relationship between peripheral refractive error and myopia development, and the accuracy of measuring peripheral eye length using an optical biometer. Some of these issues can be addressed, while others require further investigation.

Summary: The study compared retinal curvatures derived from OCT scans vs. PRX measurements, showing low correlation between the two methods. PRX tends to underestimate retinal radius, especially with increasing myopia.

Summary: This study investigated the longitudinal effects of myopic eye growth on each individual retinal layer. The results showed that myopia during the early stages of development had significant impacts on the inner retina, and changes in retinal thickness could potentially serve as early biomarkers of myopia progression and associated complications.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of retinal light stimulation of different wavelength ranges on contrast sensitivity (CS), as well as the reliability and repeatability of a newly developed CS test. Results suggest that using retinal illumination via LCD screens to increase CS is inconclusive.

Summary: The study found that retinal thickness correlated with refraction at all eccentricities except the fovea, and the retinal thickness in the high myopia group was significantly different from the other two groups. In contrast, choroidal thickness showed a significant correlation with refraction at the fovea, but only in high myopes. Correlation with refraction was also found at the nasal location, between emmetropic and high myopia groups.

Summary: This study found that form-deprivation myopia in CBA/CaJ mice is related to changes in retinal dopamine levels. Blocking melatonin receptors reduced the magnitude of form-deprivation myopia and prevented alterations in retinal dopamine levels, suggesting that melatonin-related changes in retinal dopamine contribute to the development of myopia.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel wide-angle refraction measurement method called Refraction Topography (RT), and evaluates its agreement with simulation results and expected refraction. RT utilizes a refraction algorithm on fundus images to measure refraction. Unlike traditional methods, RT requires the subject to stare at a stationary target. The study demonstrates the agreement between the test results obtained using RT, simulation results, and expected refraction on three test eyes.

Summary: Low-dose atropine can slow the progression of myopia in children, especially in the 'slow' progression group. However, rebound occurred in three-quarters of eyes after cessation of atropine. Adverse effects were observed in 69% of patients, with dilated pupils being more common in children with blue eyes.

Summary: The genetic variants that regulate eye size in emmetropic eyes are distinct from those that confer susceptibility to myopia, indicating that different biological pathways are involved in normal eye growth and myopia development.

Summary: The study found that retinal OFF-pathway stimulation enhanced choroidal thinning associated with accommodation, potentially indicating a mechanism involving accommodation and the OFF signaling pathway. This links near work and myopia.
