Non-cycloplegic refraction cannot replace cycloplegic refraction when screening for refractive errors in children
Bjørset, Cecilie Onshuus; Pedersen, Hilde Røgeberg; Synstelien, Gro O.; Gilson, Stuart; Hagen, Lene Aarvelta; Langaas, Trine; Thorud, Hanne Mari Schiøtz; Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Baraas, Rigmor C.; Svarverud, Ellen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The purpose was to assess the differences in spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) between cycloplegic autorefraction (1% cyclopentolate), non-cycloplegic autorefraction, and non-cycloplegic retinoscopy measured by ... -
Normal saccades but decreased fixation stability in a population of children with dyslexia
Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Falkenberg, Helle Kristine; Mon-Williams, Mark; Riddell, Patricia; Langaas, Trine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Developmental dyslexia affects around 5-15% of the population and has a heterogeneous aetiology. Optometric disorders are more prevalent in dyslexic populations but the relationship be- tween eye movement control and ... -
Optically induced refractive errors reduces fixation stability but saccade latency remains stable
Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Langaas, Trine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of optically induced refractive errors on saccade latency and fixation stability. Sixteen healthy, young adults (two males), with normal visual acuity and normal ... -
Refractive Error Prevalence among School Children in Dadeldhura District of Nepal
Awasthi, Suresh; Pant, B. P.; Langaas, Trine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Uncorrected refractive error is the major cause of visual impairment worldwide. There is no data on refractive error prevalence among school children in hilly region of Far West Nepal. Objective: The prevalence ... -
Refractive errors in children aged 4-8 years in Skaraborg Hospital during 2020; Retrospective hospital-based study
Grozdanic, Haris (Master thesis, 2022)Purpose: The main objective of this study is to investigate the distribution of refractive errors in children aged 4 to 8 years old examined in Skaraborg Hospital. The secondary objectives are to investigate the occurrence ... -
Saccade latency and fixation stability: Repeatability and reliability
Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Langaas, Trine (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 ... -
Synsrelaterte læringsutfordringer i grunnskolen. Hvordan ivaretas barn med lese- og skrivevansker og synsutfordringer i norsk skole? En scoping review
Huset, Ann Tonje (Master thesis, 2022)Bakgrunn: Alle barn i norsk skole har rett på tilpasset opplæring etter opplæringsloven § 5-6. Elever uten tilfredsstillende utbytte kan ha rett på spesialundervisning. Utredningen av barnets styrker og behov er særs viktig ... -
Vision status of children aged 7–15 years referred from school vision screening in Norway during 2003–2013: a retrospective study
Falkenberg, Helle Kristine; Langaas, Trine; Svarverud, Ellen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Undetected vision problems is an important cause of reduced academic achievement, performance in everyday life and self-esteem. This receives little attention in national health care services in Norway even ... -
Visual acuity in children : the development of crowded and single letter acuities
Langaas, Trine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)Previous research has explored the development of visual acuity in babies and children, and it has been established that the measured visual acuity is dependent on the method used. In the present study developmental trends ...
