Background: Long-term hyperopia shift is a rare complication following cataract surgery, presenting significant clinical challenges in analysis and management.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old female with a history of high myopia and laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery presented with decreased vision in her left eye at the very fifth year after cataract surgery. The spherical equivalent in her left eye had increased to + 6.63 D. After thorough evaluation, the patient underwent secondary piggyback intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the ciliary sulcus, resulting in high satisfaction.
Conclusions: This case of long-term hyperopia shift following cataract and LASIK surgeries provides valuable insights into potential etiologies and interventions for this uncommon complication.

Purpose: The majority of existing studies have focused on the progression of myopia, while an animal model for hyperopia has not yet been developed. This study aimed to evaluate whether blue light exposure can suppress emmetropization in a manner comparable to lens-induced hyperopia, thereby facilitating the development of an experimental animal model of hyperopia.
Methods: Five-day-old 24 guinea pigs were randomly assigned to different experimental groups based on light exposure conditions.

Clinical Relevance: Cycloplegic refraction remains crucial in young adults, where accommodative activity can obscure accurate refractive status. Autorefractor repeatability is essential for precise optical correction and refractive error categorisation in clinical and research settings.
Background: Cycloplegic autorefraction is recommended for individuals up to 20 years to prevent hyperopia underestimation and myopia overestimation.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of early ophthalmic referral for premyopic preschoolers on myopic spherical equivalent (SE) shift after school entry; and to identify risk factors for nonadherence to follow-up care.
Methods: A population-based longitudinal study followed 742 premyopic preschoolers (-0.5 D < SE ≤ +0.

Clinical Relevance: Accurate determination of refractive error is essential for optimal vision correction. However, the necessity of performing cyclo-refraction in adults remains a subject of ongoing debate..

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of lockdowns during COVID-19 pandemic on manifest refraction in a young adult population.
Methods: A retrospective, observational study of flight academy candidates evaluated between 2019 and 2023. Data collected included demographics, best corrected visual acuity, and manifest refraction.
