Gathered information included age, gender, clinical diagnosis, family history of ocular disease, and type of low vision aid prescribed and its impact on patients' functional needs.Results: The mean age was 44.64 years (range 4-88). Most participants were in the 19-60 years age group (50.0%). Fifty percent of the participants were the offspring of consanguineous marriages. The main cause of visual impairment in this cohort was retinitis pigmentosa, followed by diabetic retinopathy. The majority of low vision aids were prescribed for near distance tasks, and reading spectacles were the most prescribed visual aid. Eighty-nine percent of patients reported functional improvement and retained their visual aids upon follow-up.Conclusion: Retinitis pigmentosa was the main cause of visual impairment in this cohort of patients referred from a tertiary academic hospital for low vision assessment. We report a consanguinity rate of 50%. The overwhelming majority of patients reported functional improvement and retained their visual aids upon follow-up. Awareness and integration of low vision services into a multidisciplinary approach and improving referral protocols is essential to better address the needs of patients with visual impairment. Familial counselling regarding consanguineous marriages and emerging research to treat inherited retinal diseases should be pursued.","PeriodicalId":43701,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Optometry","volume":"14 1","pages":"67-74"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9017693/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48170387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-seven percent of the world population were myopic in 2010 and after 30 years it is expected half of the peoples in the planet will become myopic. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with myopia among high school students. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional school-based study design using stratified simple random sampling technique was used to select 349 high school students from 21 high schools in Hawassa city. The study was conducted from April 24 to May 7, 2019. Structured questionnaire, six meter Snellen visual acuity chart, trial frame, trial set, retinoscope and cyclopentolate 1% eye drops were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 computer software. Variables having p-value <0.05 in multivariate logistic regression were considered as statistically significant. Results A total of 349 participants having a response rate of 97% were involved with the mean age of 16.90±1.32 years. Prevalence of myopia was 16.05% (95%CI: 12.6, 20.1). Early age of schooling (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=3.14; 95%CI: 1.16, 10.06), parents being myopic (AOR=8.46; 95%CI: 7.11, 12.08), prolonged near work (AOR=11.65; 95%CI: 2.11, 64.5), short working distance (AOR=10.90; 95%CI: 0.57, 20.55), lack of outdoor sport activities (AOR=7.37; 95%CI: 2.71, 20.03) and visual display unit (VDU) usage (AOR=8.36; 95%CI: 2.39, 29.33) were variables significantly associated with myopia. Conclusion and Recommendations The prevalence of myopia was high in the study area. Early age of schooling, parents being myopic, prolonged near work, short working distance, lack of outdoor sport activities, and visual display unit usage were variables significantly associated with myopia. There should be strategies to prevent visual impairments secondary to myopia with affordable optical corrections and appropriate use of visual display units.","PeriodicalId":43701,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Optometry","volume":"14 1","pages":"35 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41637916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the wear experience of satisfied planned replacement silicone hydrogel wearers when refit into a silicone hydrogel daily disposable lens. Patients and Methods In this open-label, non-comparison study, satisfied wearers of two week planned replacement contact lenses were evaluated for inclusion criteria and refit with optimized prescriptions in their habitual lenses. At a follow-up visit one week later, participants were refit with the study daily disposable lenses and completed visual analog scale (VAS) surveys of initial quality of vision, comfort, and satisfaction. Participants returned for a final visit after two weeks of wearing the study daily disposable lenses. At the final visit, VAS surveys for both overall and end of day (EOD) vision, comfort, and dryness were completed. Overall median and interquartile range (IQR) were assessed for all surveys in the study. Results Thirty individuals completed the study (29.1 ± 7.8 years old; 19 female). Median (IQR) results for the initial impression VAS surveys were 92.50(11.75) for quality of vision, 92.50(18.00) for comfort, and 93.00(18.00) for satisfaction. Final VAS survey results revealed median scores of 87.50(25.00) for EOD quality of vision and 82.50(51.25) for EOD comfort. The median overall quality of vision was 91.00(17.00) and overall comfort was 93.00(28.50). Median (IQR) overall dryness was 28.50(49.00) and median EOD dryness was 30.50(64.25). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that providers can successfully refit satisfied wearers of early generation silicone hydrogel planned replacement lenses into a new generation silicone hydrogel daily disposable lens while maintaining satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":43701,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Optometry","volume":"14 1","pages":"27 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47481158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review summarizes our current knowledge of known ocular side effects of psychotropic drugs based on reviews, case reports, case-control studies, a case series, and cross-sectional observational studies reported in the recent literature. The review covers disorders related to depression, anxiety, and stress which are commonly encountered within society and can have debilitating impacts on an individual’s quality of life that may require chronic therapeutic management. The main medications used in the treatment and management of these conditions typically target receptors, metabolic enzymes, or transport pumps that alter the pre- and/or post-synaptic levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and opioids to improve mood and/or relieve pain and anxiety. Novel non-therapeutic options are undergoing clinical trials, and some patients may seek alternative therapies or have associated substance abuse issues to alleviate their symptoms. This review summarizes some of the clinical signs of depression and the main therapeutic options and their reported ocular side effects which may be pertinent today given the rise in use of psychotropic medications used to manage depression, anxiety, and stress.","PeriodicalId":43701,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Optometry","volume":"14 1","pages":"13 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41655654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With PD applied, the first 10 consecutive patients had IOP measured multiple times with a handheld tonometer (Tono-Pen AVIA, Reichert, Depew, NY) on the superotemporal sclera 1 mm posterior to the PD edge. This identical procedure was repeated for the next 10 consecutive patients with a pneumatonometer (Model 30, Reichert, Depew, NY). Once three reliable measurements, as defined by the study protocol, were obtained for an eye, the procedure was repeated with the same tonometer device on the fellow eye.Results: The mean standard deviation for reliable IOP measurements was ±2.92 mmHg, median (IQR) of 2.62 (1.68 to 3.53) mmHg in the handheld tonometer group and ±1.98 mmHg in the pneumatonometer group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.07). The mean IOP range for the reliable IOP measurements was 5.5 ± 3.80 mmHg, median (IQR) of 5 (3 to 7) mmHg for the handheld tonometer group and 3.71 ±1.12 mmHg in the pneumatonometer group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.06).Conclusion: Handheld tonometry and pneumatonometry have poor reproducibility when used to measure scleral IOP in keratoconus patients, while a PD is applied to the eye. An alternative research model and methodology should be investigated and confirmed to have precision prior to proceeding with further analysis of any relationship between scleral lens wear and IOP.","PeriodicalId":43701,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Optometry","volume":"13 ","pages":"341-350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/99/8a/opto-13-341.PMC8725838.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39888935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She was previously followed-up elsewhere. Her past ophthalmic history included a diagnosis of normal tension glaucoma 10 years earlier for which she was on topical anti-glaucoma medication. On inspection, symmetrical ptosis was noted and when she was asked about her family history, she reported that 4 members of her family had \"problems with moving their eyes\" as she also had from a young age. Her best corrected visual acuity was 20/100 in her right eye (RE) and 20/80 in her left eye (LE). Optic discs had normal margins with peripapillary atrophy and cup/disc ratio was 0.7 RE and 0.8 LE. Intraocular pressure was 10mmHg bilaterally. Ocular motility examination revealed severe restriction in all directions of gaze. She had mild alternating exotropia but she did not report any diplopia. Based on her family history, bilateral ptosis, ophthalmoplegia and reported symptoms, the diagnosis of CPEO was made.Conclusion: In the setting of a busy subspecialty clinic, it is common for clinicians to focus on a specific pathology and overlook additional signs and symptoms that represent a second often unrelated condition. Our case highlights the importance of a thorough assessment including history taking (general, ophthalmic and family), good documentation of symptoms and an adequate clinical examination.","PeriodicalId":43701,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Optometry","volume":"13 ","pages":"335-339"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/5e/c6/opto-13-335.PMC8714969.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39904402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
