ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy \〖a multimedia visual training system uses the individualized PVEP(pattern visual evoked potential)sensitive spatial frequency parameters\〗 in children with amblyopia by comparing the differences in visual acuity and stereo acuity enhancement between the PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy and traditional therapy. <p>METHODS: A total of 38 children(54 eyes)with amblyopia who were treated in our hospital from April 2018 to January 2019 were randomly divided into two groups. Traditional therapy group(19 cases, 27 eyes; therapeutic methods contain refractive correction, patching/optical or drug suppress and precision eyesight training); PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group(19 cases, 27 eyes; therapeutic methods contain refractive correction, patching/optical or drug suppress and a multimedia visual training using the individualized P-VEP sensitive spatial frequency parameters). To study the clinic therapeutic effect, the best distance corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and near stereo acuity were measured at the enrollment visit and the final visit after 6mo treatment.<p>RESULTS: After 6mo treatment, both groups had an apparent BCVA improvement(both therapy effective rate≥85%). PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group were significantly better than traditional therapy group in BCVA lines improvement \〖3(2, 3)lines\〗, near stereo acuity therapy effective rate(89%)and near stereo acuity level improvement \〖2(1, 4)levels\〗(all<i> P</i><0.05). In amblyopic children older than 6y, PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group showed a significantly greater BCVA lines improvement(<i>P</i>=0.018). In mild amblyopia cases, PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group showed a significantly better clinical efficacy in near stereo acuity(<i>P</i>=0.048)and greater improvement in near stereo acuity level(<i>P</i>=0.029). In moderate amblyopia cases,the BCVA lines improvement(<i>P</i>=0.003)was significantly greater in PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group. <p>CONCLUSION:Both PVEP-CD comprehensive and traditional therapy can improve the BCVA in children with amblyopia and have a good clinical efficacy. Furthermore, the PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy could improve the BCVA and near stereo acuity level more obviously and help amblyopic children get a better binocular vision.

ABSTRACT
AIM:To assess the effect of press-on prisms in patients with acute-onset comitant esotropia and diplopia,focusing primarily on vision-related quality of life and binocular vision.METHODS:Retrospective case-series study.Totally 16 acute-onset comitant esotropia patients with diplopia who received treatment in the Huzhou Central Hospital were included in this study from March 2014 to March 2017.Vision-related quality of life before press-on prism correction and 1mo after press-on prism correction were performed with the Chinese version of the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (CHI-NEI-VFQ-25).In each time of follow-up,we made a minute examination,includes worth four dot test and stereo tests.Data was statistically analyzed with paired sample t test,Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test.RESULTS:Except the degree of eye pain,color vision and perimetry,the indicators from CHI-NEI-VFQ-25 table including general health status,overall vision,mental health,social role difficulties,social functional,near activities,distant activities,independency and driving of acute-onset comitant esotropia patients with diplopia were obviously significant improved 1 mo after press-on prism correction (P＜0.05).One month after press-on prism correction,the fusion function and stereo acuity were significant enhanced (P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Press-on prism correction may be helpful for binocular vision recovery in acute-onset comitant esotropia patients with diplopia,so as improve the vision-related quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Context: Children with learning disabilities might have difficulties to communicate effectively and give reliable responses as required in various visual function testing procedures. Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the testability of visual acuity using the modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) and Cambridge Crowding Cards, stereo acuity using Lang Stereo test II and Butterfly stereo tests and colour perception using Colour Vision Test Made Easy (CVTME) and Ishihara’s Test for Colour Deficiency (Ishihara Test) between children in mainstream classes and children with learning disabilities in special education classes in government primary schools. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 primary school children (50 children from mainstream classes and 50 children from special education classes) matched in age were recruited in this cross‑sectional comparative study. The testability was determined by the percentage of children who were able to give reliable respond as required by the respective tests. ‘Unable to test’ was defined as inappropriate response or uncooperative despite best efforts of the screener. Results: The testability of the modified ETDRS, Butterfly stereo test and Ishihara test for respective visual function tests were found lower among children in special education classes (P < 0.001) but not in Cambridge Crowding Cards, Lang Stereo test II and CVTME. Conclusion: Non verbal or “matching” approaches were found to be more superior in testing visual functions in children with learning disabilities. Modifications of vision testing procedures are essential for children with learning disabilities.
