Refractive status of indigenous people in the northwestern Amazon region of BrazilFrank Thorn
New England College of Optometry, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
Optom Vis Sci 82:267-72. 2005..The purpose of this study was to investigate the refractive status of the illiterate indigenous people of the upper Rio Negro region of the Amazon rain forest in northwestern Brazil...
The association of wavefront aberration and accommodative lag in myopesJi C He
Myopia Research Center, New England College of Optometry Boston, 424 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Vision Res 45:285-90. 2005..45, p < 0.02) and approached significance in the distance-induced condition (r = -0.35, p = 0.07). No significant correlations were found for emmetropes. Possible reasons to account for these results are discussed...
Increased accommodation following adaptation to image blur in myopesFuensanta A Vera-Diaz
Department of Vision Science, The New England College of Optometry, Boston, MA 02115, USA
J Vis 4:1111-9. 2004..The refractive group differences in the accommodative response may be related to differences in the habitual response to image clarity between myopes and emmetropes under normal viewing conditions...
Wave-front aberrations in the anterior corneal surface and the whole eyeJi C He
Myopia Research Center, New England College of Optometry, 424 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis 20:1155-63. 2003..Our data suggest that the reported loss of internal compensation for anterior corneal aberrations in elderly eyes with large whole-eye aberrations [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 19, 137 (2002)] may also occur in young eyes...
Change in corneal shape and corneal wave-front aberrations with accommodationJi C He
Myopia Research Center, New England College of Optometry, Boston, MA, USA
J Vis 3:456-63. 2003..A significant mean change for the group in both x-axis coma and spherical aberration was found. The change in corneal surface with accommodation suggests an increase in peripheral curvature with flattening at the vertex...

New England College of Optometry, 424 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Optom Vis Sci 81:505-9. 2004..The purpose of this study is to further define the magnitude at which strabismus becomes socially significant according to lay observers...
