It was worse in the morning and resolved when he washed his face. The patient denied headaches, jaw claudication, weight loss, and anorexia. Pt had no neurologic deficits including diplopia. The patients hemoglobin A1c 4 months prior to being seen was 7. The patient endorsed checking his blood sugars at home and most are less than 200. The patient routinely checks his blood pressure at home and it is usually 130s/70s. The patient’s best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in each eye at distance, intermediate, and near. His Ishihara color test was 11/11 in each eye as well. His intraocular pressure was 13 in each eye with corneal thickness of 642 OD and 626 OS. There was no relative afferent pupillary defect in each eye, extraocular muscle movements were full, and his confrontation fields were full as well. His anterior segment exam was unremarkable except for nuclear sclerosis of each lens. The fundus examination was remarkable for bilateral optic disc swelling with heme off both optic discs. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated bilateral optic disc leakage. OCT showed a flat sensory retina in each macula. The patient had an emergent MRI that demonstrated diffuse loss of normal high T2 signal, but no intracranial mass was present. CRP and ESR were both within normal limits when accounted for the patient’s age. The patient’s papilledema improved on one month follow-up exam without intervention. Due to the patient’s history of diabetes, normal corrected visual acuity, reportedly well controlled blood pressure, and essentially unremarkable work-up, the patient was diagnosed with diabetic papillopathy.","PeriodicalId":91268,"journal":{"name":"HSOA journal of ophthalmology & clinical research","volume":"59 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41303018","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}

Methods: One hundred three patients were enrolled in this study and grouped according to age: Group A (< 30 years), group B (31-40 years), group C (41-50 years), group D (51-60 years), group E (61-70), and group F (> 71). Total corneal and corneal epithelial thickness measurements were made using the SonogageCorneo-Gage Plus 2 (Cleveland, Ohio) ultrasound pachymeter. Correlations of central epithelial thickness with central total corneal thickness, age, and gender were calculated. In addition, mean central epithelial thickness (CET) was measured. One-way ANOVA testing and post hoc analysis with the Tukey test and Pearson correlation were performed to analyze data. Results: The mean epithelial thickness at the central cornea was 47.88±1.15 μm, with no statistically significant difference between right and left eyes, and no significant differences in gender or central total corneal thickness. The difference in mean epithelial thickness across age groups was statistically significant (p <0.008). The mean epithelial thickness of the > 71 years group was significantly thinner than that of the < 30 years, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60 years age groups. Conclusions: Ultrasound pachymeter of the corneal epithelium demonstrated that the oldest age group (> 71 years) had significantly thinner central corneal epithelial thickness than the younger age groups. There was no correlation between epithelial thickness, total corneal thickness, gender, or laterality.","PeriodicalId":91268,"journal":{"name":"HSOA journal of ophthalmology & clinical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47479532","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}

Ocular morbidities by its sheer magnitude form an enormous problem, not only in human suffering, but also in terms of economical loss and social burden. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the pattern of eye Diseases. Methods: This was a cross sectional study. This study was done in Dhaka city, different districts of Dhaka Division and different Upazilla of Dhaka district. From these three sites 3124 patients were randomly selected. All the members of a family were cross-examined and then diseased individuals were isolated for detail history taking and clinical assessment. Results: The results revealed that 3124 study subjects were had ocular morbidity. Common ocular morbidity was 1153 had Refractive error (36.9%), 105 had Cataract, 15(0.5) had Glaucoma, 63(2.0) had Chronic Dacryocystitis, 14(0.4) had Pterygium, 6(0.2) had Diabetic Retinopathy, 56(0.2) had Retinitis pigmentosa and 1763 (56.4) others. Males were more affected as compared to females. It was observed that as the age increases the prevalence of ocular morbidity increases.
