The equally dosed (atypical dietary ratio) Zx plus L group fared worse in terms of raising MPOD, presumably because of duodenal, hepatic-lipoprotein or retinal carotenoid competition. These results make biological sense based on retinal distribution and Zx foveal predominance.

Few myopic traction maculopathy cases have been studied with SDOCT. The time domain optical coherence tomography and SDOCT analysis suggests that the etiology of this condition may be secondary to preretinal and extraretinal traction exhibited in degenerative high myopia.

Wavefront-guided treatments are not required in most cases but should be considered if the magnitude of preoperative root-mean-square higher-order aberrations is greater than 0.35 μm. Wavefront-optimized aspheric corneal ablations attempt to avoid reducing the prolate eccentricity of the average cornea, and optimized treatments have shown improved visual outcomes compared with conventional LASIK treatments. A thorough knowledge of refractive surgery is important for any treating eye care practitioner to provide patients with the full range of options to correct all types of refractive error...

A laptop computer system for visual field screening could be a better method for visual field screening in the primary eye care setting.

The method can be useful as an important part of a routine examination and for directing further examinations.

In younger patients, it has been linked to a wide variety of other conditions. As with the more commonly occurring macular form of choroidal neovascular membranes, PSRNVM can also lead to severe vision loss. Therefore, clinicians must take care to avoid overlooking this event to provide appropriate management and treatment. Current knowledge of PSRNVM suggests the importance of regular examinations of the affected eye in both treated and untreated cases to watch for progression and recurrence, which are unpredictable, and also of the fellow eye because there is a high risk of bilateral...

One theory includes a back flow of porphyrin byproducts from PCT. This is exacerbated by a less-than-productive liver caused by high iron stores, chronic HCV, and a history of alcoholism, which prevents the normal filtering process to occur. We believe this is the first report of a case of presumed bilateral, geographic, peripapillary chorioretinal atrophy in a patient with PCT, complicated by high iron stores, HCV, and alcoholism.

Peripapillary vitreoretinal traction can cause optic nerve head elevation with the appearance of edema that must be distinguished from sight- or health-threatening etiologies. OCT is a valuable diagnostic tool in confirming peripapillary vitreoretinal traction.

While the retinal appearance normalizes soon after resolution of the acute lipid imbalance, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to obtain the desirable systemic outcome. Optometrists play a critical role in prompt referral of these patients for appropriate management of their lipids.

As the population continues to age, more patients will be seen with reduced vision caused by a myriad of ocular diseases, increasing the likelihood that more patients may present with CBS in the future. It is therefore prudent to become familiar with the syndrome so primary care optometrists can properly identify CBS and help their patients deal with it.

Here we show a methodical inspection of the cause of an atypical BRVO and, more specifically, consideration for hypercoagulable pathologies and their treatment in such patient encounters.

For those who contemplate surgery, had failed surgery, or require treatment of underlying disease, monocular partial/sector occlusion therapy can serve as an excellent adjunct. Also, it may be attempted in other incomitant strabismic deviations with bothersome diplopia limited to specific positions of gaze.

Its role as a natural lubricant and its excellent water-retaining properties make it well-suited for use in ophthalmic products. Many reports have been written describing the various uses of HA. The purpose of this report is to review the uses of HA in the anterior segment of the eye, more specifically, its use in the treatment of dry eye syndrome, and in contact lenses and contact lens care systems.

IT may be a key element in the future success of optometry practices in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Perceptions of high investment and training costs are barriers to further adoption. Optometrists may benefit from increased exposure to IT as part of their training.

Optometrists should keep in mind that an orbital metastasis may represent the initial manifestation of undiagnosed systemic cancer.

The incidence from prior reports ranges from 0.003% to 0.33%. However, a causal link cannot be disregarded and merits further study. Each patient undergoing LASIK warrants a thorough preoperative dilated fundus examination, including a thorough examination of the macula. This occurrence, albeit rare, should be considered for inclusion in the refractive surgery consent form.

It is well documented that primary tumors can originate in the ocular adnexa. Although not typical, the first sign in this case was a recurrent subconjunctival hemorrhage. The importance of a thorough ocular examination is paramount for a patient's ocular health and possibly the patient's life.

Learning the physiologic mechanisms behind this uncommon disorder can help the clinician correctly identify its cause. Although palinopsia itself is not a disease, it is indicative of a disease, and the symptoms of palinopsia may be a manifestation of a serious underlying systemic dysfunction that could warrant treatment. In addition, identifying the symptoms of palinopsia can put patients at ease with regard to the often disturbing visual symptoms.

Torpedo maculopathy, although benign, may be visually devastating if its neurosensory etiopatholgy involves the macula. Even so, it rarely requires intervention.

The optometrist can also participate in the management of ocular manifestations of myasthenia and should be familiar with the use of a ptosis crutch (in addition to prism spectacles or occlusion therapies if indicated) as a nonsurgical intervention for ptosis.

The eye care provider can play a crucial role in the early recognition of ocular manifestations of Fabry disease and decrease both the time to accurate diagnosis and the delay in the institution of disease-modifying therapy.

First, lack of pupil involvement in an incomplete palsy is not equivalent to pupil sparing in a complete palsy. Second, after initial diagnosis, if subsequent findings are no longer consistent, further investigation is warranted. Lastly, myasthenia gravis should be considered as a differential in apparent palsy cases.

Prompt referral to rule out TS or other systemic associations, particularly in young children, is important. Neuroimaging, along with other diagnostic tests, may ensure the proper management and rule out need for further evaluation. Spontaneous lesions without systemic association can initially be monitored closely to rule out possible progression. Once stability has been established, annual follow-up with a primary care eye practitioner is appropriate.

Definitive diagnosis is made by biopsy and histopathologic examination of the tissue. Plasmacytomas may be treated with external beam radiation, local excision, or radiotherapy after surgical excision. Long-term follow-up, including periodic systemic evaluation, is required to establish that orbital involvement is not an early manifestation of multiple myeloma.

With the expectation of at least 300,000 postdeployment veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan having PTSD, optometrists will be faced with these patients' vision problems. Complicating the diagnosis of PTSD is some overlap with patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The estimated range of patients with TBI having PTSD varies from 17% to 40%, which has recently led the Federal government to fund research to better ascertain their relationship and differences.
