  • Progressive binocular visual alterations associated with increasing myopic anisometropia in spectacle-corrected children. [Journal Article]
    Optom Vis Sci. 2026 Aug; 103(8):e70093.Dou N, Dong X, … Zhang YOV
  • CONCLUSIONS: Increasing myopic anisometropia was associated with a severity-dependent pattern of subclinical alterations in accommodative balance, ocular alignment, fusional vergence, sensory fusion, and stereoacuity in spectacle-corrected children with normal BCVA. These findings support a multifactorial interpretation involving accommodative, optical, vergence, and sensory factors; however, their relative contributions and causal sequence cannot be determined from this cross-sectional study. Longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms and clinical significance of these alterations.

  • Outcomes of wavefront-guided scleral lenses in keratoconus patients. [Journal Article]
    Optom Vis Sci. 2026 Aug; 103(8):e70092.Masoud OH, Chang CY, … Syed ZAOV
  • CONCLUSIONS: WFGSLs provide effective management for residual HOAs as evidenced by the significant reductions observed in HORMS and individual Zernike terms (Z7, Z8, Z11, Z17, and Z18) for various pupil sizes. Correspondingly, WFGSLs significantly improve BCVA and are preferred over traditional SLs by all patients in this cohort. Therefore, WFGSL provides a valid alternative vision rehabilitation solution to help diminish the need for surgery in keratoconus patients who do not achieve adequate visual outcomes via traditional SLs.

  • The longitudinal association between perceived stress and dry eye symptoms: A cross-lagged panel study. [Journal Article]
    Optom Vis Sci. 2026 Aug; 103(8):e70091.Ifrah R, Gantz L, Besser AOV
  • CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide suggestive, but not confirmatory, evidence of a small prospective association between earlier perceived stress and later dry eye symptom burden in a sample of predominantly young adult women. However, the finding should be interpreted cautiously given the modest sample size, the two-wave design, and its dependence on a directional one-tailed test. Further longitudinal studies are needed.

  • Global scope of glaucoma clinical practice for optometrists. [Review]
    Optom Vis Sci. 2026 Jul; 103(7):e70088.Denniss J, Barrett BT, … Flanagan JGOV
  • CONCLUSIONS: Optometrists are increasingly essential to patient access and sustainable glaucoma care delivery. Although educational and training standards continue to improve, significant barriers-including regulatory restrictions, inconsistent public funding, and resource limitations-must be addressed to optimize optometry's role in addressing the global burden of glaucoma.

  • Prediction of myopia progression in children wearing highly aspherical lenslet spectacles. [Journal Article]
    Optom Vis Sci. 2026 Jul; 103(7):e70089.Wang H, Ge YT, Xu YOV
  • CONCLUSIONS: This study developed practical predictive models to identify children at high risk of rapid myopia progression while wearing highly aspherical lenslet spectacles. These findings provide a clinically applicable, evidence-based tool for personalized myopia management, supporting early stratification and tailored intervention to improve myopia control outcomes in children. However, these results are population-specific and should be cautiously generalized to pediatric cohorts from other ethnic groups or regions.

  • Repeatability of SpotChecks contrast sensitivity test in macular disease. [Journal Article]
    Optom Vis Sci. 2026 Jul; 103(7):e70082.Sprague KB, Niu Y, … Cheng HOV
  • CONCLUSIONS: In adults with macular disease and good to mildly reduced visual acuity, SpotChecks demonstrated intra-visit repeatability comparable to Pelli-Robson and healthy individuals. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed comparable discriminative performance for SpotChecks and Pelli-Robson, both outperforming high-contrast logMAR acuity.
