Acetic and Acrylic Acid Molecular Imprinted Model Silicone Hydrogel Materials for Ciprofloxacin-HCl Delivery
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2012-01-02)Contact lenses, as an alternative drug delivery vehicle for the eye compared to eye drops, are desirable due to potential advantages in dosing regimen, bioavailability and patient tolerance/compliance. The challenge has ... -
Agreement in dry eye management between optometrists and general practitioners in primary health care in the Netherlands
(Elsevier, 2015-04-18)Purpose: To investigate the agreement in dry eye care management between general practitioners (GPs) and optometrists in the Netherlands. Methods: A web-based survey was used to investigate the agreement in symptoms ... -
Application of a new grading scale for tear ferning in non-dry eye and dry eye subjects
(Elsevier, 2014-09-14)Purpose: To apply the Masmali tear ferning (TF) grading scale on non-dry eye (NDE) and dry eye (DE) subjects to test the validity of the grading scale in practice, and to describe the grading scale range for NDE and DE. ... -
Are high lags of accommodation in myopic children due to motor deficits?
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Children with a progressing myopia exhibit an abnormal pattern of high accommodative lags coupled with high accommodative convergence (AC/A) and high accommodative adaptation. This is not predicted by the current models ... -
Atomic force microscopy analysis of the effect of plasma treatment on gas permeable contact lens surface topography
(Elsevier, 2019-02-23)Purpose: Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate anterior surface topography (AST) in worn and unworn, plasma surface-treated (PST) and untreated (UT) gas permeable (GP) lenses, and influence of surface topography ... -
Atomic force microscopy and Langmuir–Blodgett monolayer technique to assess contact lens deposits and human meibum extracts
(Elsevier, 2015-07)Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the differences in meibomian gland secretions, contact lens (CL) lipid extracts, and CL surface topography between participants with and without meibomian ... -
Binocular Adaptation to +2 D Lenses in Myopic and Emmetropic Children:
(Wolters Kluwer, 2009-06)Purpose. To compare vergence adaptation to +2 D addition lenses in myopic and emmetropic children and to evaluate the influence of the accommodative-vergence crosslink (AC/A ratio) on this adaptation. Methods. Nine ... -
Binocular adaptation to near addition lenses in emmetropic adults
(Elsevier, 2008-05)Near addition lenses are prescribed to pre-presbyopic individuals for treatment of binocular motor problems such as convergence excess and to control the progression of myopia. To date, no investigation has looked at the ... -
Binocular treatment of amblyopia using videogames (BRAVO): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2016-10-18)Amblyopia is a common neurodevelopmental disorder of vision that is characterised by visual impairment in one eye and compromised binocular visual function. Existing evidence-based treatments for children include patching ... -
The blood compatibility challenge. Part 3: Material associated activation of blood cascades and cells
(Elsevier, 2019-08)Following protein adsorption/activation which is the first step after the contact of material surfaces and whole blood (part 2), fibrinogen is converted to fibrin and platelets become activated and assembled in the form ... -
Branching and size of CTAB-coated gold nanostars control the colorimetric detection of bacteria
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)Rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria is challenging because conventional methods require long incubation times. Nanoparticles have the potential to detect pathogens before they can cause an infection. Gold nanostars have ... -
Can current models of accommodation and vergence predict accommodative behavior in myopic children?
(Elsevier, 2014-08)Investigations into the progression of myopia in children have long considered the role of accommodation as a cause and solution. Myopic children show high levels of accommodative adaptation, coupled with accommodative lag ... -
Comparison of a new portable digital meniscometer and optical coherence tomography in tear meniscus radius measurement
(Wiley, 2013-10-07)Purpose: Non-invasive measurement of tear meniscus radius (TMR) is useful in the assessment of tear volume for dry eye diagnosis. This study investigates the agreement between a new, portable, slit-lamp mounted, digital ... -
Comparison of super-resolution algorithms applied to retinal images
(Society of Photo Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2014-05-01)A critical challenge in biomedical imaging is to optimally balance the trade-off among image resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and acquisition time. Acquiring a high-resolution image is possible; however, it is either ... -
Composition of incubation solution impacts in vitro protein uptake to silicone hydrogel contact lenses
(Molecular Vision, 2012-02-04)Purpose: To determine the impact of incubation solution composition on protein deposition to silicone hydrogel (SH) contact lenses using a simplistic and a complex model of the tear film. Methods: Three SH materials – ... -
Contact lens physical properties and lipid deposition in a novel characterized artificial tear solution
(Molecular Vision, 2011-12-24)Purpose: To characterize various properties of a physiologically-relevant artificial tear solution (ATS) containing a range of tear film components within a complex salt solution, and to measure contact lens parameters and ... -
Controlling “chemical nose” biosensor characteristics by modulating gold nanoparticle shape and concentration
(Elsevier, 2015-09)Conventional lock-and-key biosensors often only detect a single pathogen because they incorporate biomolecules with high specificity. “Chemical nose” biosensors are overcoming this limitation and identifying multiple ... -
