Some reports have outlined many different treatment strategies for superior oblique myokymia (SOM) that attempt to reduce or eliminate patients’ symptoms of monocular oscillopsia and/or diplopia. Most treatment strategies have focused solely on oral medications or invasive surgery.

Abstract
Here, we systematically explore the size and spacing requirements for identifying a letter among other letters. We measure acuity for flanked and unflanked letters, centrally and peripherally, in normals and amblyopes. We find that acuity, overlap masking, and crowding each demand a minimum size or spacing for readable text. Just measuring flanked and unflanked acuity is enough for our proposed model to predict the observer's threshold size and spacing for letters at any eccentricity. ....

Br J Ophthalmol 2014;98:639-644 Suzanne W van Landingham, Sheila K West, Esen K Akpek, Beatriz Muñoz,Pradeep Y Ramulu Abstract Background/aims People with dry eye often complain of difficulty reading, but this perceived deficit has not been appropriately quantified. The purpose of this study is to determine if dry eye is associated with measurable reading deficits. Methods A cross-sectional study of 1981 participants in the Salisbury Eye Evaluation, a population-based study of the elderly. Dry eye symptoms were identified by questionnaire and clinically significant dry eye was defined as the presence of dry eye symptoms and positive Schirmer testing or ocular surface staining in either eye. Spoken reading speed was measured using short text passages. Subjects self-reported if they did not read or had difficulty reading newsprint.

Volume 34, Issue 3, pages 369–375, May 2014 Natasha Healey, Julie F. McClelland, Kathryn J. Saunders andA. Jonathan Jackson AbstractPurpose To explore the onset and progression of spherical refractive error in a population with infantile nystagmus syndrome. Methods
Retrospective refractive error data were obtained from 147 medical records of children with infantile nystagmus syndrome (albinismn = 98; idiopathic infantile nystagmus n = 49), attending a low vision clinic in Northern Ireland, over a 24 year period (1986–2010). Data were categorised by age to allow for comparisons with published studies. A prospective group of participants with Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) [n = 22 (albinism n = 18, idiopathic infantile nystagmus n = 4)] (aged 0–4) were also recruited. Cycloplegic streak retinoscopy was performed biannually, over a 3 year period. Spherical equivalent refractive error and most ametropic meridian were analysed.

Methods: All patients in both the treatment and control groups had persistent macular edema 3 months after ERM removal. The patients in the treatment group received three consecutive IVB in an interval of approximately 4 weeks.

Jan Johansson, Tony Pansell, Jan Ygge,and Gustaf Öqvist Seimyr J Vis May 14, 2014 14(5): 8; doi:10.1167/14.5.8 Abstract The binocular advantage in reading performance is typically small. On the other hand research shows binocular reading to be remarkably robust to degraded stimulus properties. We hypothesized that this robustness may stem from an increasing binocular contribution. The main objective was to compare monocular and binocular performance at different stimulus contrasts and assess the level of binocular superiority.
