Article Abstract
: We evaluated visual acuity (VA) over 5 years in a subspecialty noninfectious uveitis population.: Retrospective data from 5,530 noninfectious uveitis patients with anterior, intermediate, posterior or panuveitis were abstracted by expert reviewers. Mean VA was calculated using inverse probability of censoring weighting to account for losses to follow-up.: Patients were a median of 41 years old, 65% female, and 73% white. Initial mean VA was worse among panuveitis (20/84) than posterior (20/64), intermediate (20/47), and anterior (20/37) uveitides. On average, mean VA improved by 0.62, 0.51, 0.37, and 0.26 logMAR-equivalent lines over 2 years, respectively (each < .001), then remained stable, except posterior uveitis mean VA worsened to initial levels.: Mean VA of uveitic eyes improved and, typically, improvement was sustained under uveitis subspecialty care. Because VA tends to improve under tertiary care, mean VA change appears a better outcome for clinical studies than time-to-loss of VA.

Purpose: To analyze the relationship between various visual function parameters (refractive status, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity) and macular pigment optical density (MPOD) values, as well as dietary intake of lutein and zeaxanthin in a pediatric population.
Methods: Thirty-six healthy White pediatric patients participated in this cross-sectional study conducted at the Optometry Clinic (Faculty of Pharmacy, Seville, Spain). MPOD values were measured using the MPSII (Macular Pigment Screener II).

Eye tracking has the potential to be used as a meaningful measure of the consequences of vision impairment (VI), yet a comprehensive test battery is lacking. In this study, we sought to evaluate the feasibility and validity of a test battery of eye movements as a tool to measure visual performance in individuals with VI. A test battery including fixation stability, smooth pursuit, saccades, free viewing, and visual search was administered to 46 athletes with VI and 10 control participants.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the focal relationship between choroidal thickness and retinal sensitivity in myopic eyes.
Methods: Participants underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging and microperimetry testing. Choroidal thicknesses were obtained by segmenting the SS-OCT scans using a deep-learning approach.
