The influence of study habits on myopia in Jewish teenagers.

The prevalence and degree of myopia were measured in 870 teenagers, males and females. We found a statistically significant higher prevalence and degree of myopia in a group of 193 Orthodox Jewish male students who differed from the rest in their study habits. Orthodox schooling is characterized by sustained near vision and frequent changes in accommodation due to the swaying habit during study and the variety of print size. A possible myopic effect of this unique visual demand is postulated.

Removal of corneal foreign bodies following laser in situ keratomileusis.

PURPOSE: To report the outcome of uncomplicated removal of corneal foreign bodies in patients who previously underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: Nine eyes of eight patients presented with corneal foreign bodies after LASIK. RESULTS: In three patients, diagnosis of corneal foreign bodies was delayed due to reduced pain and symptoms. Removal of foreign bodies was performed with no flap-related complications. Corneal wound healing was normal. Final visual acuity was not decreased. CONCLUSION: Corneal foreign bodies can be removed safely and effectively from corneas after LASIK.
