The authors present a case of acute IOIS, atypical because of its presentation in the absence of pain. In addition, a review of the literature is conducted to identify predominant clinical and radiologic characteristics of IOIS along with current accepted and proposed treatment options. Differentials are discussed to distinguish this disease from systemic immunologic and inflammatory conditions such as syphilis, sarcoidosis, and Wegener's granulomatosis as well as potentially fatal neoplastic conditions.

An empirically derived, conceptual model of human blur perception and related retinal defocus patterns has been extended to determine the effect of NITM on the relative contributions of myopic and hyperopic retinal defocus during distance viewing. Under the normal hyperfocal refractive condition during distance viewing with isolated stimulus conditions, there is very small myopic defocus ( approximately 0.25 diopters), and no hyperopic defocus, present. After sustained nearwork generating NITM, a moderate increase in this myopic defocus contribution takes place. In the normal isolated distance viewi...

Meningitis and complications of spinal anesthesia, although rare, need to be considered in patients who have recently given birth. However, other causes of increased intracranial pressure, including subdural hemorrhage secondary to trauma, also have to be considered, even if the patient denies any history of trauma. Abused patients often deny trauma.

Although statistically insignificant, the results indicate that students who fail the vision screening in grade 1 tend to be more at risk for poorer academic performance on standardized testing in grade 3.

Although there are different etiologies of abraded corneal epithelium, current clinical management for most corneal abrasions involves a bandage contact lens, use of topical antibiotics, and cycloplegics. Large and central corneal abrasions, however, warrant a consultation with a corneal specialist.

Screening with the Lea symbol chart found borderline sufficient sensitivity and specificity for the test to be used for screening in this population. The better sensitivity and specificity of the CVA, if adjusted normative values are utilized, appear to make this test sufficient for testing Down syndrome children for identifying both refractive errors and ocular pathology.

It was not until the 1800s, however, that specific connections between the hypothalamus and the vision system were discovered. With a fuller elaboration of the autonomic nervous system in the early to mid 1900s, many more pathways were discovered. The more recently discovered retinohypothalamic tracts show the extent and influence of light stimulation on hypothalamic function and bodily processes. The hypothalamus maintains its myriad connections via neural pathways, such as with the pituitary and pineal glands; the chemical messengers of the peptides, cytokines, and neurotransmitters; and ...

Because the differences between Orbscan and either Galilei or Pentacam were not within clinically acceptable levels, they are not interchangeable in every clinical situation. However, the differences among anterior chamber depth values measured with Galilei and Pentacam were within clinically acceptable levels. Thus, these 2 systems can be regarded as interchangeable.

The understanding of VMT and its role in the pathophysiology of various macular conditions may facilitate diagnosis and management of these conditions.

Visual deficits can arise from both the aggressive nature of craniopharyngiomas as well as the therapeutic intervention. Patients treated for craniopharyngiomas are at risk for recurrence and need to be followed up on a long-term basis.

Yet many do not seek out the necessary care to address their visual health. Many older adults want to age in places that require a supportive environment to compensate for changes in abilities and to promote healthy aging and quality of life. The Elder's Right to Sight Collaborative (ERTS) was established to gain insight into the role of the environment in maintaining the functional independence and safety of older adults with visual impairment and to understand the barriers to obtaining the necessary eye care services. The ERTS provides education, screening, environmental assessments, and simple tools to complete...

The residual esotropia was treated with compensatory prisms and vision therapy more than 1 year after Arnold-Chiari malformation surgery. The esotropia was resolved after approximately 3.5 months of treatment. Five years later, the patient continued to maintain fusion without compensatory prism.

The primary proposed explanations for discordance include (1) visual field sampling and test selection limitations (i.e., the SS24-2 samples only axons that are anatomically connected to photoreceptors in the central retina, whereas the GDx samples virtually all axons) and (2) GDx measurement limitations in the papillo-macula bundle (i.e., the GDx has difficulty differentiating the normally thin RNFL from the pathologically even thinner RNFL). Tests of both structure and function are recommended in glaucoma suspects and patients, as neither mode is capable of identifying all glaucomatous deficits.

There were abnormalities of binocular function in both the VMH and vestibular dysfunction groups compared with the control group. Individuals with VMH were unable to maintain stable gaze and inhibit eye movements to background motion. The large number of subjects with diagnosis of fluctuating vestibular function in the VMH group compared with the vestibular dysfunction group may indicate that VMH is a maladaptation of the system.

There is a paucity of epidemiologic data on EOM cancer, and clinical characteristics are derived only from a selection of case reports in the literature. Thus, the predominant features of global orbital metastatic cancer versus primary inflammation are highlighted in this presentation. This case shows that the variable characteristics of each process prohibit identification of any clinical feature that would prove pathognomonic for either disorder. The varied practice philosophies and standard of care regarding the proper time to biopsy are reviewed. This case shows the importance of early referral for orbital biopsy, even in ...

Optometrists, as primary eye care practitioners, should be aware of the inheritance, pathophysiology, and current treatment options for RP as well as treatments in development so that they can best care for their patients with inherited retinal disorders.

Ligation of small sections of the varix, as appropriate, may achieve the desired cosmetic effect and improve patient comfort. The varix usually does not recur after removal. Venography is used to evaluate the extent and supply of the varix before surgery. Cavernous hemangioma, a similar presentation, should be differentiated as it carries significant visual morbidity. Careful differential diagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography is essential with a new-onset or spontaneous varix.

Although most cases of temporal visual field loss from TDS do not respect the vertical hemianopic line and are not true quadrantanopsias, there are instances in which this does occur, likely caused by the testing modality used. It is essential that patients with suspected intracranial pathology undergo immediate neuroimaging, even in the face of TDS.

They are also typically taking 1 or more neuropsychotropic medications that are frequently associated with undesirable visual side effects. Individuals with MI and DD should report numerous complaints associated with the medications they take and the oculo-visual anomalies they exhibit during the initial case history and the review of systems. The data from this study suggest that this is not the case and that only about 50% of those who should have complaints actually report them.

The mean SimK and Axial radii were within the tolerance for GP base curve radius, 0.05 mm, cited in ANSI Z80.20-2004 and ISO 18369-2:2006. Thus, the clinical feasibility of this prototype BC attachment to support measurement of spherical base curve radii for GP lenses by a corneal topographer was demonstrated.
