The purpose of this master thesis is to make a manual on cataracts so that optometrists in the Republic of Croatia have in one place everything about the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of cataracts. According to the World Health Organization cataract is one of the leading causes of vision impairment in the world. By properly diagnosing the type of cataract, we provide patients with a better quality of life and a visual aid with which they will achieve maximum visual acuity. This master’s thesis will summarize all the knowledge from the master's degree in Aalen in order to get a broader picture of the formation of cataracts. On daily basis optometrists encounter cataract pathology, the goal is to better understand what affects cataract formation, from drugs to systemic diseases, and to ultimately help the client see better after resolving cataract pathology.
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to evaluate the efficiency of state-provided eye exams as part of regular health check-ups for children aged between 6 and 18. This paper examines how capable these eye exams are at detecting reduced visual acuity and other vision related problems. It also investigates whether older children are better at noticing vision related problems then their younger peers. The results are obtained by a comprehensive questionnaire.
Ziele: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine funktionierende Software zu entwickeln, die es ermöglicht, aufgrund von verschiedenen Messungen, einen evidenzbasierten Therapievorschlag zur Behandlung des trockenen Auges zu generieren. Sie soll an das jeweilige örtliche Angebot von Mess- und Therapieoptionen anpassbar sein, um das große und oft unübersichtliche Angebot an Therapieoptionen effizienter und somit wirtschaftlicher nutzen zu können.
Ziel: Eine Analyse der aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Literatur zu Orthokeratologie bei Myopie. Es werden Studienergebnisse zu verschiedenen Aspekten der Orthokeratologie miteinander verglichen und auf ihre Übereinstimmung überprüft. Der Fokus wird auf die Veränderungen der visuellen Wahrnehmung und der kornealen Beschaffenheit während und nach der Anwendung von Orthokeratologie gelegt.
Telemedicine assisted non-mydriatic Fundus imaging for detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Colombia
(2022)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a well-recognized complication of diabetes mellitus where retinal function is compromised. It is considered a public health disease and is the fifth leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. But although the worldwide prevalence is continually increasing, little is known about the frequency of this disease in Colombia, South America. On the other hand, telemedicine is presented as a tool that has the potential to improve access to health care services, for remote or rural populations, and for those who have limited access due to physical or other disabilities. Recent technological advances in telecommunication and digital imaging, including fundus photography, telemedicine represents a valuable clinical aid for the documentation and diagnosis of ocular pathologies, and therefore helps to minimize adverse outcomes associated with chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus.
Comparing axial eye length to other physiological properties of the eye, body height and the head
(2022)
Purpose: To find, if there is any relationship between axial eye length and other physiological properties of the eye (horizontal corneal diameter, average corneal radius, central corneal thickness, objective spherical equivalent, pupillary distance), body height, and head size. Can any of these correlations eventually complement models in myopia progression or be the model for further research.
