Article Abstract

There is a lack of normative data for children tested with the electronic Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy Study (E-ETDRS) protocol. In the current cross-sectional study, the mean best-corrected normal and 95% lower tolerance limit for E-ETDRS visual acuity by year in children 7-12 years of age was measured. Our objective was to provide a large normative data set for E-ETDRS visual acuity in children for use in clinical management and clinical trials.

Topic: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate best-corrected visual acuity (VA) outcomes following transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in patients with refractory glaucoma.

Clinical Relevance: TSCPC is typically reserved for cases of refractory glaucoma, due to apprehension of negative affects on VA. Prior studies have reported the VA outcomes from TSCPC, but no comprehensive review of the literature has yet been conducted.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the association between anthropometric parameter and myopia in children and adolescents.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Embase, CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data, and VIP databases were searched from inception to June, 2025. We collected cross-sectional studies on the association between anthropometric parameter and myopia in children and adolescents aged 0-25 years, including body mass index (BMI) and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI).
