Lindstrom In dex . 539 Fo re w o rd For some authors of ophthalmology, writing or editing 50 book chapters is a size- able accomplishment over a lifetime, let alone a decade. This is not true for Professor Agarwal. Since 1998, Amar Agarwal has edited on average more than four books a year, which is an unprecedented and virtually unimaginable yearly number for any one person. His books span top- ics from diagnostics and imaging (such as aberrometry, angiography, topogra- phy, dry eyes, and neuro-ophthalmology) to therapeutics and surgery (including contact lenses, lasers, LASIK, strabismus, oculoplastics, cataracts, phako, and more), and many have been bestsellers. He has authored several comprehensive hand- books and textbooks of ophthalmology, and Color Atlas of Ophthalmology stands out as one of his best. In its 19 subspe- cialty chapters, this second edition illus- trates over 500 diagnostics and therapeu- tic conditions. The comprehensive and systematic format helps the reader find and view the facts about any condition in ophthalmology instantly, making it an essential resource for both the student and the practitioner in the field. Anyone who knows Professor Agarwal can tell you that he is a consummate innovator and teacher. As a professor of ophthalmology and internationally re- nowned lecturer, his experience and dedication to teaching speak for themselves. Over the years, I have participated in several American Academy of Ophthalmolo- gy and American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery courses with Professor Agarwal and have learned a great deal about microincision cataract surgery and the management of challenging LASIK cases from them. Personally, I look forward to reviewing and referring to the content of this book on a regular basis. I recom- mend that you do so as well! Ronald R. Krueger, MD, MSE Medical Director, Department of Refractive Surgery Co le Eye In st it u t e Clevela n d Clin ic Cle vela n d , Oh io ix Preface Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. Winston Churchill (1874–1965) What is an ophthalmologist? One who has graduated from medical school and is interested in the eye. One who has completed three years of specialized ophthal- mic training. One who has spent a further two years in sub-specialization. One who has mentored the next generation of ophthalmologists. One who has inno- vated and changed preferred practice patterns in ophthalmology. All these classes of ophthalmologists need solid knowledge combined with patient empathy to best serve patients. The purpose of this fully revised second edition of the successful Co lo r At la s o f Ophthalmology: The Quick-Reference Manual for Diagnosis and Treatment is to give you the knowledge needed to face with confidence the full range of patients’ oph- thalmic disorders.

  • Fundus Signs in Temporal Arteritis

McLEOD, E. 0. OJI, E. M. KOHNER, AND J. MARSHALL From Moorfields Eye Hospital and Institute of Ophthalmology, London SUMMARY A patient with temporal arteritis developed a variety of ischaemic lesions in the eyes. Infarction of the inner retina and optic nerve head was delineated on presentation by white swelling in the retinal nerve fibre layer. The role of interrupted axoplasmic transport in the production of this sign is discussed. Outer retinal infarction was also noted on presentation and subsequently gave rise to striking pigmented scars. Temporal arteritis often presents with visual loss, the central venous tributaries were of normal and necropsy examination in such cases shows wide- calibre and colour. No abnormality of the inner spread disease of the ophthalmic artery and the retina was noted in the territory of supply of the extraocular course of its ciliary and retinal branches central retinal artery.

  • Outer Retina Changes on Optical Coherence Tomography in Vitamin a Defciency Meghan K
    Berkenstock et al. Int J Retin Vitr (2020) 6:23 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40942-020-00224-1 International Journal of Retina and Vitreous CASE REPORT Open Access Outer retina changes on optical coherence tomography in vitamin A defciency Meghan K. Berkenstock, Charles J. Castoro and Andrew R. Carey* Abstract Background: Vitamin A defciency is rare in the United States and can be missed in patients with malabsorption syn- dromes without a high dose of suspicion. Ocular complications of hypovitaminosis A include xerosis and nyctalopia, and to a lesser extent reduction in visual acuity and color vision. Outer retinal changes, as seen on spectral domain optic coherence tomography (SD-OCT), in patients with vitamin A defciency have previously not been documented. Case presentation: We present two cases with symptoms of severe nyctalopia who were subsequently diagnosed with severe Vitamin A defciency and their unique fndings on SD-OCT of outer nuclear layer difuse thinning with irregular appearance of the interdigitating zone and the ellipsoid zone as well as normalization after vitamin A supplementation. Conclusions: Outer nuclear layer thinning and disruption of the outer retinal bands on SD-OCT are reversible with correction of vitamin A defciency. Improvement in visual acuity, color vision, and nyctalopia are possible with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Keywords: Vitamin A defciency, Optical coherence tomography, Nyctalopia Background reverse ocular complications prior to permanent vision Most commonly seen in regions with food insecurity, loss [16, 24, 25]. Only a few reports have described the nutritional defciencies, or restricted diets, vitamin A photoreceptor changes on spectral domain optical coher- defciency is rare in developed countries [1–9].

  • A Rare Cause of Bilateral Corneal Ulcers: Vitamin a Deficiency in the Setting of Chronic Alcoholism
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.7991 A Rare Cause of Bilateral Corneal Ulcers: Vitamin A Deficiency in the Setting of Chronic Alcoholism Raman J. Sohal 1 , Thu Thu Aung 1 , Sandeep Sohal 2 , Abha Harish 1 1. Internal Medicine, State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, USA 2. Internal Medicine, The Brooklyn Hospital Center, Brooklyn, USA Corresponding author: Raman J. Sohal, [email protected] Abstract Vitamin A deficiency is rarely encountered in the western world. When encountered, vitamin A deficiency is seen as a component of the malabsorption spectrum of disease. Given the infrequency of nutritional deficits in the developed world, vitamin A-associated ophthalmologic disease is rarely encountered. We report a case of a 56-year-old male with severe vitamin A deficiency in the setting of alcoholic liver cirrhosis. This case emphasizes two important points. First, it considers vitamin A deficiency as a cause of corneal ulceration in patients with chronic alcoholism. Second, it raises awareness of hepatotoxicity that can result after the supplementation of vitamin A in patients with chronic alcoholism. Although an uncommon diagnosis, it should be considered when other causes, such as infectious and autoimmune conditions, are ruled out. Categories: Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology Keywords: bilateral corneal ulcers, vitamin a deficiency, alcoholism, liver cirrhosis, nutritional deficiency Introduction Vitamin deficiency is not a commonly encountered cause of non-healing corneal ulcers. However, in cirrhotic patients when other differentials, such as infectious and autoimmune etiologies, have been excluded, vitamin A deficiency should be considered. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the deficiency stems from both decreased gastrointestinal absorption as well as decreased oral intake.
