...Introduction This Case Report is about the clinical findings of Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration, or Terrien’s Marginal Dystrophy. This is a slow progressing disease that eventually thins the peripheral corneal stroma causing problems such as irregular astigmatism and even corneal perforation. This condition can be unilateral or bilateral, but is usually asymmetric. The degeneration of the cornea usually begins superiorly with stromal thinning and rarely affects the inferior cornea/limbus area but has a hallmark of no epithelial breaks. Another hallmark of the condition is the lack of inflammation and pain, but can show neovascularization advancing in the thinning stroma along with pannus. A white or light yellow line of deposits of lipid...

INTRODUCTION Improving efficiency in health care is an acute issue. In the developed world this is due to increases in costs and quality issues (Aptel and Pourjalali, 2001; Spear, 2005); Western Europe currently spends 9% of its GDP on health care, and, if the trend continues, will spend over 20% by the year 2050 (Drouin et al., 2008.) In the developing world on the other hand demand exceed capacity; it was estimated that in 1997 over 12 million people were blind in India from cataracts, while a further 3.8 million new cases are developed each year, and current capacity for surgery is far below this level (Thulasiraj et al., 1997.) Better health care operations are clearly required to deal with issues of ageing population, increased costs and unmet demand. One case that provides clues to such means is Aravind, the largest eye care provider in the world, with over 2.5 million operations performed and 20 million patients treated in...

...University of Cape Coast, Ghana †Eye Unit, Regional Hospital, Koforidua, Ghana * Received 25 September 2009; revised version accepted 9 June 2010 Abstract Uncorrected refractive errors remains a public health problem among different population groups. Among schoolchildren, uncorrected refractive errors have a considerable impact on learning and academic achievement especially in underserved and under-resourced communities. A school based cross-sectional study was carried out to estimate the prevalence and distribution of refractive error among schoolchildren in the Agona Swedru municipality of Central Region of Ghana. 637 schoolchildren aged 11-18 years old were randomly selected for the study. Non-cycloplegic refraction was performed on each child who failed the reading test. Hyperopia was defined as spherical power of ≥ + 0.75 D, myopia as ≤ – 0.50 D and astigmatism as a cylindrical power of ≤ – 0.50 D. Of the children examined, only 13.3% had previously had an eye examination. Introduction Uncorrected refractive errors remains a public health problem among different population groups. Among schoolchildren, it has a considerable impact on learning and academic achievement especially in underserved and under-resourced communities. Uncorrected refractive errors in schoolchildren and its impact on academic achievement have only recently received attention. It became necessary therefore to Visual impairment (VA of 6/12 or worse in the better eye) was present in 4.5% of the children...

...unlikely that computer equipment will be dangerous itself, it can be used in ways which can be hazardous to health of staff ("Computer health and," 2003). Ergonomics is an applied science devoted to incorporating comfort, efficiency, and safety into the design of items in the workplace (Shelly, & Vermaat, 2008). Studies done using ergonomics show that using the correct chair, keyboard, display device, and work surface configurations helps computer users work comfortably and efficiently and also preserve their health. According to previous studies, the majority of computer workers experience some eye or vision symptoms, but what was not clear was if whether these problems occur to a greater extent in these workers than in others who work in other visually demanding occupations. A national survey of doctors of optometry found that more than 14% of their present patients with eye or vision-related symptoms resulting from computer work. Working on a computer for a long period of time can cause different types of forearm and wrist CTDs, which are inflammation of tendons, nerve sheaths, and ligaments and damage to the soft tissues. Tenosynovitis, ganglion cysts, de Quervain’s disease, lateral epicondylitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome are different types of CTDs caused by computer use. Symptoms of CTDs are pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in muscles or movement of arms, hands and fingers. The Health and Safety Work Act explains how employers must minimize risks for...

...Age-Related Macular Degeneration By Connie Goldsmith, RN, BSN, MPA Changes in vision occur throughout our lives. Some young people need glasses for driving or watching movies. Others wbo enjoy perfect vision until they reach middle age discover they require reading glasses. Many people must wear bifocals or trifocals to obtain the best vision at every distance. However, these problems are minor irritations compared to the loss of vision caused by a common agerelated disorder. Painlessly and insidiously, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects an estimated 10 million Americans.' It's the most common cause of vision loss and blindness in people over 65, and it can affect people at younger ages as well.' The risk of developing AMD steadily increases with age. People in their 50s bave about a 2% chance of developing it, while the risk rises to nearly 30% in those over age 75.^ Every three minutes, another case of AMD is diagnosed in the US.^ Each year, 200,000 people with AMD lose all central vision in one or both eyes.' More people than ever before will be forced to live with AMD as the baby boomer generation continues to grow older. This article reviews the anatomy and function of the normal retina. It also identifies tbe risk factors for AMD and its causes, as well as its diagnosis and treatment. A diagnosis of AMD means a significant decrease in vision, and, in some cases, complete blindness. Because patients face important concerns related to their...
