Ocular Component Development during Infancy and Early Childhood
Donald O. Mutti, Loraine T. Sinnott, G. Lynn Mitchell, Lisa A. Jordan, Nina E. Friedman, Sara L. Frane, and Wendy K. Lin
Our author's findings provide insights into mechanisms for emmetropization and guidance on intraocular lens power calculations for the human eye from 3 months to 7 years. Clinicians will find this normative data useful for benchmarking normal ocular growth.

Parametric Co-Variability in the Standard Model of the Saccadic Main Sequence
Claudio Busettini and Jennifer Braswell Christy
Analyzing saccadic ocular motion is challenging. These research findings suggest a novel 3-step method to analyze ocular saccadic dynamics and provide normative data for a reference population.

The Area Under the Main Sequence as an Alternative Method to Measure Saccadic Dynamics
Claudio Busettini and Jennifer Braswell Christy
Traditional approaches to analyzing saccadic dynamics assess peak velocity of the movement and size of the movement. Here the authors propose an alternative model, area under the main sequence, as a viable clinical alternative saccadic analysis. This alternative model enables a simplified approach that can be useful for analyzing a wider variety of clinical eye movement data.

Cornea Full-field Displacement and Strain Measurement In Vivo Using 3D Digital Image Correlation
Xueyong Zhang, Qing Wang, Like Wang, Hong Xiao, Daming Zhang, Rongfeng Liao, and Yongping Zheng
The authors of this study demonstrate a new method to quantify corneal biomechanics based on full-field measurements. This technique may advance other studies of corneal structure.

Predictive Potential of Eyelids and Tear Film in Determining Symptoms in Contact Lens Wearers
Jaya Sowjanya Siddireddy, Ajay Kumar Vijay, Jacqueline Tan, and Mark Willcox
Clinical signs such as
meibomian gland secretions and lid morphology, tear evaporation, lid parallel conjunctival folds and palpebral conjunctival health
maybe useful predictors of contact lens discomfort.

Presbyopic PC Work: A Comparison of Progressive Addition Lenses for General Purpose and Personal Computer Work
Oliver Kolbe and Stephan Degle
The authors show that progressive addition lenses that are specific for computer use are preferred over general purpose lenses when working on visual display units.

Can Applications Designed to Evaluate Visual Function Be Used in Different iPads?
M. Dolores de Fez, Mª José Luque, Mª Carmen García-Domene, Mª Teresa Caballero, and Vicente Camps
Color vision testing apps were compared across different Apple devices and the authors report that there is high degree of error when testing across devices that may lead to compromised diagnostic reliability.

Unwanted Astigmatism and High Order Aberrations One Year after Excimer and Femtosecond Corneal Surgery
Maja Bohac, Mateja Koncarevic, Adrijana Dukic, Alma Biscevic, Vesna Cerovic, Maja Merlak, Nikica Gabric, and Sudi Patel
The authors of this study report residual refractive error and higher order optical aberrations following the small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) refractive surgical procedure and compare the results to femtosecond LASIK for the correction of spherical myopia and astigmatism.

Case Series: Bilateral Homonymous Visual Field Defects Due to Bilateral Ischemic Strokes
Eleni Papageorgiou, Nikolaos Anthis, Theodora Stathi, Evangelia Tsironi, and Ioannis Asproudis
The authors present a series of cases illustrating bilateral ischemic strokes, a relatively rare condition. Their findings will help clinicians by identifying these cases and provide appropriate management.

Case Report: Penetrating Corneal Injury Under an Intact LASIK Flap
Sarah Maki and Joshua H. Hou
This case report illustrates that an excellent visual outcome is possible following a penetrating corneal foreign body in patients who are post-LASIK.
