(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Clinicians, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), contend with limited economic and healthcare resources in deciding appropriate and feasible care for their patients. Some of the LMICs affected by COVID-19 ... -
The Relationship Between Perifoveal L-Cone Isolating Visual Acuity and Cone Photoreceptor Spacing—Understanding the Transition Between Healthy Aging and Early AMD
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial degenerative disorder that can lead to irreversible loss of visual function, with aging being the prime risk factor. However, knowledge about the ... -
Repeatability of OCT-Based versus Scheimpflug- and Reflection-Based Keratometry in Patients with Hyperosmolar and Normal Tear Film
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: To compare the repeatability of keratometry between different instruments in patients with hyperosmolar tear film and a control group. Patients and Methods: Subjects with tear-film osmolarity of 316 mOsm/L or ... -
Role of stem cells in regenerative treatment of dry eye disease caused by lacrimal gland dysfunction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)An ageing population and increased screen use in younger people have contributed to a rise in incidence of dry eye disease (DED). Quality of life can be significantly affected by DED, with patients experiencing eye dryness, ... -
Saccade latency and fixation stability: Repeatability and reliability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This study aimed to investigate the repeatability and reliability of saccadic latency and fix-ation stability as a function of sighting-dominance and contact lens wear. Eye movements were recorded in 12 healthy adults who ... -
Screening of Diabetes Retinopathy in Optometry: Assessment of a Web-based Training Protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Diabetic retinopathy is a sight threatening complication of diabetes mellitus. Regular eye examinations by trained health professionals can help prevent this. Although ophthalmologists have screening responsibility in ... -
Sekundært glaukom som følge av sprettertskade: diagnostisert et halvt århundre senere
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Sekundært glaukom som følge av stumpt traume mot øyet forekommer relativt sjelden i optometrisk praksis. Denne typen glaukom kan oppstå etter korttid eller flere tiår senere. Kasuistikken presenterer en mann som i en alderav ... -
Sensitivity and specificity of Norwegian optometrists' evaluation of diabetic retinopathy in single-field retinal images - a cross-sectional experimental study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background In the working age group, diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment. Regular eye examinations and early treatment of retinopathy can prevent visual loss, so screening for diabetic retinopathy ... -
