Tomás-Juan J, Larrañaga AMG., Hanneken L. (2014). Corneal Regeneration After Photorefractive Keratectomy: A Review. Journal of optometry.
Abstract Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) remodels corneal stroma to compensate refractive errors. The removal of epithelium and the ablation of stroma provoke the disruption of corneal nerves and a release of several peptides from tears, epithelium, stroma and nerves. A myriad of cytokines, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteases participate in the process of corneal wound healing. Their balance will determine if reepithelization and stromal remodeling are appropriate. The final aim is to achieve corneal transparency for restoring corneal function, and a proper visual quality. Therefore, wound-healing response is critical for a successful refractive surgery. Our goal is to provide an overview into how corneal wounding develops following PRK.

Doucette LP, Rasnitsyn A, Seifi M, Walter MA. (2015). The interactions of genes, age, and environment in glaucoma pathogenesis. Survey of ophthalmology.
Abstract Glaucoma, a progressive degenerative condition that results in the death of retinal ganglion cells, is one of the leading causes of blindness, affecting millions worldwide. The mechanisms underlying glaucoma are not well understood, although years of studies have shown that the largest risk factors are elevated intraocular pressure, age, and genetics. Eleven genes and multiple loci have been identified as contributing factors. These genes act by a number of mechanisms, including mechanical stress, ischemic/oxidative stress, and neurodegeneration.

Abstract Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared complications after cataract surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of intracameral and topical antibiotics on the prevention of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. A systematic literature review in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases revealed one randomized trial and 17 observational studies concerning the prophylactic effect of intracameral antibiotic administration on the rate of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. The effect of topical antibiotics on endophthalmitis rate was reported by one randomized trial and one observational study.

Armstrong R, Kergoat, H. (2015). Oculo‐visual changes and clinical considerations affecting older patients with dementia. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 35(4), 352-376.
Purpose Dementia is associated with various alterations of the eye and visual function. Over 60% of cases are attributable to Alzheimer's disease, a significant proportion of the remainder to vascular dementia or dementia with Lewy bodies, while frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson's disease dementia are less common. This review describes the oculo-visual problems of these five dementias and the pathological changes which may explain these symptoms. It further discusses clinical considerations to help the clinician care for older patients affected by dementia.

EUROPA PRESS. 09.07.2015 El Colegio de Ópticos-Optometristas de la Región de Murcia (COORM), recomienda usar alta protección solar para niños y adultos, para prevenir los efectos nocivos del sol sobre los ojos porque "los desplazamientos a espacios al aire libre y la exposición a un mayor número de aguas como mecanismo de refresco durante la época estival, multiplican los riesgos para la salud ocular". Ampliar foto El incremento de las radiaciones solares y mayor tiempo al aire libre "pueden ocasionar daños irreversibles en la visión y en los párpados en riesgo de desarrollar ciertas enfermedades oculares por la multiplicación, debida a las altas temperaturas, de distintos microorganismos patógenos".

Kuriki I. (2015). Effect of material perception on mode of color appearance.Journal of vision, 15(8), 4-4.
Abstract The mode of color appearance (mode) is a concept suggesting that variations in a medium that emits, transmits, or reflects light can cause differences in color appearance. For example, the same light beams that appear brown (or gray) when reflected from a given object surface may appear orange (or white) when emitted from a light source. The present study investigated the relationships between material perception and perceived mode, especially in terms of luminosity. In the experiment, a rotating
