Ramulu, MD, PhD1 1Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland 2Department of Ophthalmology, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado Abstract Objective—To determine the accuracy of patient-physician communication regarding topical ophthalmic medication use based on bottle cap color, particularly amongst individuals who may have acquired color vision deficiency from glaucoma. Design—Cross-sectional, clinical study. Participants—Patients ≥ 18 years old with primary open-angle, primary angle-closure, pseudoexfoliation, or pigment dispersion glaucoma, bilateral visual acuity of 20/400 or better, and no concurrent conditions that may affect color vision. Methods—One hundred patients provided color descriptions of 11 distinct medication bottle caps. Patient-produced color descriptors were then presented to three physicians. Each physician matched each color descriptor to the medication they thought the descriptor was describing. Main Outcome Measures—Frequency of patient-physician agreement, occurring when all three physicians accurately matched the patient-produced color descriptor to the correct medication. Multivariate regression models evaluated whether patient-physician agreement decreased with degree of better-eye visual field (VF) damage, color descriptor heterogeneity, and/or color vision deficiency, as determined by Hardy-Rand-Rittler (HRR) score and the Lanthony D15 testing index (D15 CCI). -

Theoretical Part Eye Examinations 1
Name and Surrname number Study group Theoretical part Eye examinations 1. Astigmatism Astigmatism is an optical defect in which vision is blurred due to the inability of the optics of the eye to focus a point object into a sharp focused image on the retina. Astigmatism can sometimes be asymptomatic, while higher degrees of astigmatism may cause symptoms such as blurry vision, squinting, eye strain, fatigue, or headaches. Types Regular astigmatism: Principal meridians are perpendicular. Simple astigmatism – the first focal line is on the retina, while the second is located behind the retina, or, the first focal line is in front of the retina, while the second is on the retina. Compound astigmatism – both focal lines are located behind or before the retina. Mixed astigmatism – focal lines are on both sides of the retina (straddling the retina). Irregular astigmatism: Principal meridians are not perpendicular. This type cannot be corrected by a lens. Tests Objective Refractometer, autorefractometer Placido keratoscope – A placido keratoscope consists of a handle and a circular part with a hole in the middle. The hole with a magnifying glass is viewed from a distance of 10–15 cm to the patients cornea. In the 200 mm wide circular portion there are concentric alternating black and white circles. They reflect the patient’s cornea. In the event of astigmatism, a deformation appears at the corresponding location. Sciascope Ophthalmometry Subjective Fuchs figure – This is a tool for evaluating astigmatism where examinee stands up against a pattern of circular shape (circular or striped rectangles) and fixes his/her gaze on the center of the pattern with one open eye. -

Ocular Hypertension-A Long-Term Follow-Up of Treated and Untreated Patients
Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.61.11.668 on 1 November 1977. Downloaded from British Jouirnal of Ophthalmology, 1977, 61, 668-674 Ocular hypertension-a long-term follow-up of treated and untreated patients ROBERT DAVID, DESIREE G. LIVINGSTON, AND MAURICE H. LUNTZ From the Department of Ophthalmology, University of the Witwatersrand and Johannesburg Teaching Hospitals, Johannesbuirg, South Africa SUMMARY Sixty-one patients with ocular hypertension (1 17 eyes) were followed up for I to 11 years (average 40 7 months). Ten patients (12 eyes) developed visual field defects and optic disc lesions of glaucomatous type ( 10 2 %). Their average age was lower than the average of the sample, and the defect appeared between 1 and 5 years (average 41 3 months). The risk of developing glaucoma was related to the level of the intraocular pressure. Of the 75 eyes with pressures between 21 and 25 mmHg only 2 developed glaucoma, of the 25 cases with pressures of 26 to 30 only 3, but 7 of the 17 eyes with pressures of 31 mmHg or more did so. Prophylactic cryosurgery was carried out where indicated by the presence of lattice retinal degeneration or holes before starting miotic therapy. Fifty eyes were given antiglaucoma therapy and compared with 67 eyes not treated. Treatment did not prevent the development of glaucoma and did not seem to influence the course of the ocular hypertension. The response to treatment was also valueless in predicting future glaucoma. Two untreated patients with high pressures developed central vein occlusion. As no harmful effect of treatment could be detected in the 50 treated eyes, elderly patients (more than 70 years) with copyright. -
Intraocular Pressure During Phacoemulsification
J CATARACT REFRACT SURG - VOL 32, FEBRUARY 2006 Intraocular pressure during phacoemulsification Christopher Khng, MD, Mark Packer, MD, I. Howard Fine, MD, Richard S. Hoffman, MD, Fernando B. Moreira, MD PURPOSE: To assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) during standard coaxial or bimanual micro- incision phacoemulsification. SETTING: Oregon Eye Center, Eugene, Oregon, USA. METHODS: Bimanual microincision phacoemulsification (microphaco) was performed in 3 cadaver eyes, and standard coaxial phacoemulsification was performed in 1 cadaver eye. A pressure transducer placed in the vitreous cavity recorded IOP at 100 readings per second. The phacoemulsification pro- cedure was broken down into 8 stages, and mean IOP was calculated across each stage. Intraocular pressure was measured during bimanual microphaco through 2 different incision sizes and with and without the Cruise Control (Staar Surgical) connected to the aspiration line. RESULTS: Intraocular pressure exceeded 60 mm Hg (retinal perfusion pressure) during both standard coaxial and bimanual microphaco procedures. The highest IOP occurred during hydrodissection, oph- thalmic viscosurgical device injection, and intraocular lens insertion. For the 8 stages of the phaco- emulsification procedure delineated in this study, IOP was lower for at least 1 of the bimanual microphaco eyes compared with the standard coaxial phaco eye in 4 of the stages (hydro steps, nu- clear disassembly, irritation/aspiration, anterior chamber reformation). CONCLUSION: There was no consistent difference in IOP between the bimanual microphaco eyes and the eye that had standard coaxial phacoemulsification. Bimanual microincision phacoemul- sification appears to be as safe as standard small incision phacoemulsification with regard to IOP.

PEDIATRIC EYE and VISION EXAMINATION Reference Guide for Clinicians
OPTOMETRIC CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE OPTOMETRY: THE PRIMARY EYE CARE PROFESSION Doctors of optometry are independent primary health care providers who examine, diagnose, treat, and manage diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures as well as diagnose related systemic conditions. Optometrists provide more than two-thirds of the primary eye care services in the United States. They are more widely distributed geographically than other eye care providers and are readily accessible for the delivery of eye and vision care services. There are approximately 32,000 full-time equivalent doctors of optometry currently in practice in Pediatric Eye the United States. Optometrists practice in more than 7,000 communities across the United States, serving as the sole primary eye care provider in more than 4,300 communities.

Intermixing the OPN1LW and OPN1MW Genes Disrupts the Exonic Splicing Code Causing an Array of Vision Disorders
G C A T T A C G G C A T genes Review Intermixing the OPN1LW and OPN1MW Genes Disrupts the Exonic Splicing Code Causing an Array of Vision Disorders Maureen Neitz * and Jay Neitz Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science Center, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98109, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-206-543-7998 Abstract: Light absorption by photopigment molecules expressed in the photoreceptors in the retina is the first step in seeing. Two types of photoreceptors in the human retina are responsible for image formation: rods, and cones. Except at very low light levels when rods are active, all vision is based on cones. Cones mediate high acuity vision and color vision. Furthermore, they are critically important in the visual feedback mechanism that regulates refractive development of the eye during childhood. The human retina contains a mosaic of three cone types, short-wavelength (S), long-wavelength (L), and middle-wavelength (M) sensitive; however, the vast majority (~94%) are L and M cones. The OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes, located on the X-chromosome at Xq28, encode the protein component of the light-sensitive photopigments expressed in the L and M cones. Diverse haplotypes of exon 3 of the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes arose thru unequal recombination mechanisms that have intermixed the genes. A subset of the haplotypes causes exon 3- skipping during pre-messenger RNA splicing and are associated with vision disorders. Here, we review the mechanism by which splicing defects in these genes cause vision disorders. Citation: Neitz, M.; Neitz, J.
