Summary: The study found that both soft contact lens wearers and non-contact lens wearers commonly experience eye fatigue symptoms when using digital devices, with differences in frequency and severity of certain symptoms between the two groups. Principal component analysis revealed distinct patterns of eye fatigue symptoms.

Summary: This study aims to summarize the relevant evidence on the association between eye exercises and myopia in children and adolescents in China. The results of the meta-analysis showed that eye exercises can reduce the risk of myopia by 24%. However, considering the negative effects of incorrect performance and attitude toward eye exercises, more standardized eye exercises are needed to prevent the progress of myopia in the long term.

Summary: This cohort study examined the changes in ocular surface signs and symptoms before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that the prevalence of diagnosed dry eye did not increase during the pandemic compared to before, despite potential factors such as frequent masking and increased screen time. However, the prevalence of eye fatigue, blurring, and photophobia decreased during the pandemic.

Summary: The effectiveness of vision therapy (VT) in treating patients with chronic presumed refractory dry eye disease (DED) and concurrent nonstrabismic binocular vision anomalies (NSBVAs) was evaluated in this study. A total of 32 patients were prospectively evaluated and showed significant improvement in binocular vision parameters and symptoms after VT. It is important to diagnose and treat NSBVAs in patients with DED to ensure complete relief of symptoms and patient satisfaction.

Summary: This paper provides a systematic review of recent findings on the association between vitamin D and different ocular diseases, including myopia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (DR), dry eye syndrome (DES), thyroid eye disease (TED), uveitis, retinoblastoma (RB), cataract, and others. Evidence suggests a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and myopia, AMD, DR, and DES, but limited evidence is available for the association with other ocular diseases such as glaucoma, TED, and RB.

Summary: The study found that during embryonic development, the eyes of Anolis sagrei undergo dynamic changes in shape, initially spherical, then elongating in the foveal regions of the retina before retracting back to a spherical shape. This pattern of elongation and retraction was also observed in the veiled chameleon, supporting the idea that areas of high photoreceptor packing occur in regions where the ocular globe asymmetrically elongates and retracts during development.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various interventions for eye strain related to computer use, but did not find high-certainty evidence supporting any of the therapies analyzed. However, low-certainty evidence suggested that oral omega-3 supplementation may reduce dry eye symptoms in symptomatic computer users.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the posterior ocular contour and myopia progression in children. Baseline measurements showed a correlation between posterior ocular contour and axial length and spherical equivalent refraction (SER), with more myopic eyes tending to have a more prolate contour. The difference between the RPE and CSI contours was found to be associated with the subsequent progression of myopia, suggesting a potential avenue for further research on myopia development.

Summary: Research shows that immersion in virtual reality can cause symptoms of visual fatigue, with a visual fatigue likelihood metric derived through biomechanical analysis showing significant correlation with changes in vergence angle. This metric is also found to be related to subjective feedback during immersion.

Summary: Eye strain caused by tasks in a digital environment can lead to discomfort and lower productivity and quality of life. Digital eye strain, characterized by recurrent ocular symptoms and/or signs related to digital device screen viewing, is highly prevalent due to lack of agreed definition and limitations of current questionnaires. Objective signs like blink rate or critical flicker frequency changes are not diagnostic. Reduced blink rate, refractive errors, binocular vision anomalies, and differences in task demands and visual stimuli contribute to ocular surface disease exacerbation. There is no well-established intervention, but full refractive correction, improving blinking, optimizing the work environment, and taking regular breaks may help. Blue-light blocking interventions are not effective, while artificial tears, secretagogues, warm compress, humidity goggles, ambient humidifiers, and nutritional supplementation like omega-3 fatty acids and berry extracts show promise. More clinical trials are needed for accurate evaluation.

Summary: This study found relatively low myopic refractive change and myopia incidence among Chinese rural children aged 6-17 years. Children's refraction and paternal refraction were associated with both myopic refractive change and myopia incidence, providing helpful information for further comparisons in other rural versus urban areas of China and other countries.

Summary: The aim of the study was to assess the distribution and factors related to intraocular pressure (IOP) in a Chinese children's population in Northern China. The results showed that the mean IOP in healthy rural Chinese children aged 6-18 years is about 14 mmHg and it slightly increases with age, with age and central corneal thickness being the major independent factors associated with IOP.

Summary: This study explored the perception of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) among physicians and patients and the acceptance of using SLT as a first-line treatment for glaucoma. It found that SLT has advantages in terms of safety and repeatability, but concerns about the durability of its effect were raised by both physicians and patients. Factors such as practice preference, personal motivation, and patient characteristics may influence treatment choice. Lack of knowledge and high expectations were observed among most patients. Physicians reported insufficient evidence supporting the use of SLT as first-line therapy and called for locally relevant guidelines. The study suggests that SLT could be a recommended first-line treatment for glaucoma, but barriers to its adoption should be addressed.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the predictive effects of illness perceptions on vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) in Chinese glaucoma patients. The results showed that patients with stronger illness perceptions and those who perceive themselves as having more glaucoma symptoms are likely to experience worse VRQoL. Chronic comorbidities, the type of glaucoma, visual acuity, visual field defect, and illness perceptions were identified as critical predictors of VRQoL. The findings highlight the importance of addressing illness perceptions in glaucoma patients and the need for further research on cognitive interventions to improve VRQoL.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the occurrence, progression, and regression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a population of type 2 diabetes patients in northeastern China. The results showed that the incidence, progression, and regression rates were 5.8%, 26.8%, and 10.0%, respectively. Additionally, it was found that retinal vessel diameters, along with blood glucose control, play a role in the development of DR.

Summary: This study investigated whether quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) metrics of the superficial/deep macular retina are associated with the development of visual field (VF) loss in the fellow eyes of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. The results showed that decreased deep capillary plexus (DCP) in the fellow eyes was significantly associated with future VF progression.
