Longitudinal assessments of corneal and tear film characteristics after lasik versus continued contact lens wear
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 1999)Changes in oxygen availability, exerted mechanical force or even surgical manipulation are all factors known to influence corneal characteristics, yet detailed information about the changes such influence may induce is ... -
Fargede filtre gir ikke rød-grønne fargesvake normal fargebedømmelse
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Fargede filtre har i over 200 år blitt utprøvd for å bedre fargediskriminering hos rød-grønne fargesvake. Fargesvake som får kjennskap til slike filtre, kan få urealistiske forventninger til effekten disse kan ha på ... -
Visual acuity in children : the development of crowded and single letter acuities
(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 ... -
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 ... -
A Demonstration of 'Broken' Visual Space
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)It has long been assumed that there is a distorted mapping between real and ‘perceived’ space, based on demonstrations of systematic errors in judgements of slant, curvature, direction and separation. Here, we have applied ... -
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 ... -
An intervention designed to improve sensory impairments in the elderly and indoor lighting in their homes: an exploratory randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Vision and hearing impairments in the elderly (aged over 80 years) and poor indoor lighting conditions in a home-care setting are risk factors for functional decline, reduced social participation, withdrawal, ... -
A cross-sectional study on person-centred communication in the care of older people: the COMHOME study protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This paper presents an international cross-sectional study on person-centred communication with older people receiving healthcare (COMHOME). Person-centred care relies on effective communication, but few studies have ... -
The Three Paralogous MicroRNA Clusters in Development and Disease - miR-17-92, miR-106a-363, and miR-106b-25
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) form a class of noncoding RNA genes whose products are small single-stranded RNAs that are involved in the regulation of translation and degradation of mRNAs. There is a fine balance between deregulation ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of Equivalent Keratometry Readings Obtained by Pentacam HR (High Resolution)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)PURPOSE: To assess the repeatability of Equivalent Keratometry Readings (EKRs) obtained by the Pentacam HR (high resolution) in untreated and post-LASIK eyes, and to compare them with the keratometry (K) values obtained ... -
Older persons’ worries expressed during home care visits: Exploring the content of cues and concerns identified by the Verona coding definitions of emotional sequences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Objective Little is known about how older persons in home care express their concerns. Emotional cues and concerns can be identified by the Verona coding definitions of emotional sequences (VR-CoDES), but the method gives ... -
Optically induced refractive errors reduces fixation stability but saccade latency remains stable
(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 ... -
Communication self-efficacy in optometry: the mediating role of mindfulness
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between optometry students’ communication self-efficacy and their level of mindfulness and empathy. The study had a cross-sectional design. The sample included qualified ... -
Transcriptome Analysis of Cultured Limbal Epithelial Cells on an Intact Amniotic Membrane following Hypothermic Storage in Optisol-GS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying activation of cell death pathways using genome-wide transcriptional analysis in human limbal epithelial cell (HLEC) cultures following ... -
Mobile radiography services in nursing homes: a systematic review of residents’ and societal outcomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Demographic changes are leading to an ageing population in Europe, and predict an increase in the number of nursing home residents over the next 30 years. Nursing home residents need specialised healthcare ... -

Optometriske berømtheter i Krona (3) : Kjell Inge Daae
(Others, 2017)Hvem skjuler seg bak romnavn i optikerutdanningens nye lokaler? Alle norske optikere vet hvem Kjell Inge Daae er. Men for noen få som har fullført sin utdanning de siste årene, og unge studenter som fortsatt er under ... -
Multimodal imaging of small hard retinal drusen in young healthy adults.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Small hard macular drusen can be observed in the retina of adults as young as 18 years of age. Here, we seek to describe the in vivo topography and geometry of these drusen. Methods Retinal images were acquired ... -
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 ...
