Summary: This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy and agreement of the spot vision screener (SVS) in screening preschool children for vision-related disorders. The findings showed that SVS demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy and agreement in identifying possible vision-related disorders in preschool children.

Summary: This study in Australia found that one in ten preschool children failed visual screening, and a 'hybrid' method combining failed NVAS and SVS had the highest predictive value in identifying ARFs and/or decreased visual acuity.

Summary: Predicting the need for cycloplegic assessment and the refractive state under cycloplegia in school-age children based on non-cycloplegic ocular parameters. A machine learning model was established to effectively predict the refractive status of school-age children. This study provides a theoretical basis and supporting evidence for epidemiological research on myopia and accurate analysis of vision screening data.

Summary: In preschool Chinese children, the Spot Vision Screener tended to underestimate the spherical value of hyperopia without cycloplegia, especially in cases of high hyperopia. Adjustment of the instrument referral criteria might improve its performance, but should be guided by experts.

Summary: The study compared the efficiency of conventional screening and SVS-based screening in detecting potential cases of amblyopia during the VTYOS. Results showed that SVS-based screening had higher success rates and positive predictive value, suggesting the addition of SVS-based screening to VTYOS.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between uncorrected refractive errors and distance visual acuity in children, finding that higher myopic and/or astigmatic refractive errors led to reduced distance visual acuity. Although distance acuity may be useful in detecting myopic spherocylindrical refractive errors, it is not effective in detecting hyperopia, and alternate procedures are needed for this.

Summary: This passage discusses the structural changes in chromophores of photoactive proteins that initiate biological responses, with an ultrafast relaxation of the molecular framework occurring before isomerization. Using time-resolved photoelectron imaging, the motion of an isolated model chromophore is captured, showing a spectral shift and change in photoelectron anisotropy. Electronic structure calculations allow for quantitative assignment of the geometric and electronic structure changes to a planar intermediate, facilitating the subsequent primary step.

Summary: This study investigated the accuracy of measuring refractive errors using the Spot Vision Screener (SVS) under cycloplegic conditions. The results showed that using an autorefractometer instead of SVS was more preferable for accurate measurements.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the Spot Vision photoscreener in detecting exotropia in preschool children. The results showed that the photoscreener had low sensitivity and should not be used alone for assessing exotropia in this population.

Summary: This study conducted a community-based vision screening program for 3.5-year-old children in Japan, and introduced photorefraction as an additional method to detect eye diseases. The results showed that photorefraction had higher accuracy in detecting eye diseases, and visual acuity testing was still necessary even with the introduction of photorefraction.

Summary: Early behavioral markers for autism include differences in social attention and orienting, as well as body movements and motor abilities. This study evaluated the correlation between objective measures of autism-related behaviors obtained from an app (SenseToKnow) and standardized caregiver-report and clinician administered measures. The findings support the validity of the SenseToKnow app in identifying autism-related behaviors and associated clinical profiles.

Summary: This paper introduces a multi-species photo-identification model based on ArcFace classification head, which is a state-of-the-art method in human facial recognition. The model achieved high predictive performance on the test set by jointly classifying species and identities. It is currently freely available and can be used for noninvasive research in animal ecology.

Summary: The relationship between refractive errors and academic performance in school-aged children was investigated in this pilot study. Visual examination conducted on 252 children showed no significant differences in refractive state based on academic performance, but children with a negative spherical equivalent demonstrated better academic performance. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to validate these findings and explore strategies for reducing myopia progression in schools.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare biometric measurements and different formulas for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power using the Lenstar LS900 biometer before and after cycloplegia induction in adults. In a cross-sectional study, 168 healthy volunteers aged 40-86 years were included. The results showed no significant differences in most biometric measurements before and after cycloplegia induction. Furthermore, there were no significant changes in IOL power calculations using various formulas before and after cycloplegia induction.
