Abstract:

Introduction: Visual impairment impacts millions of people around the world, with the vast majority of problems being treatable. Disadvantaged communities are unable to utilize the same resources to treat these problems due to a lack of knowledge or resources, in addition to the presence of barriers preventing access. The objective of this paper is to assess eye health awareness and evaluate the barriers for individuals from disadvantaged communities in order to inform future interventions and increase access to care.

Abstract:

Madam, I am writing to draw attention to an issue that I believe is of great concern for our society: the alarming increase in cases of myopia due to excessive near work. Myopia, or nearsightedness, when the eye has difficulty focusing on distant objects. The prevalence of myopia has been increasing rapidly worldwide, particularly in Asia, where it is estimated that up to 80% of young adults are affected. In the United States, the prevalence of myopia has doubled in the past 30 years.[1] One major factor contributing to this increase is the growing amount of time people spend near work, such a

Abstract:

A survey was developed and used to determine the level and quality of vision care services available to First Nations elementary school children across Ontario, and to indirectly determine the level of uncorrected refractive error in First Nations children. Overall, the total survey results showed that 1 child in 4 wore glasses. The results from the survey indicated that remote communities that had a visiting optometrist were more likely to have fewer cases of uncorrected refractive error than non-remote communities. The results suggest that in-community comprehensive eye exams delivered on a

Abstract:

If glaucoma is not treated, it can worsen and cause irreparable vision loss. It results from elevated intraocular pressure that gradually deteriorates the optic nerve. It is unclear exactly what causes this build-up of pressure, but several factors, including age, genetics, and specific medical disorders, may be involved. Glaucoma frequently has mild symptoms that take time to manifest and may not be apparent until considerable harm has already been done. Early detection and treatment can help prevent additional vision loss, which is why routine eye exams are so crucial. In order to reduce int

Abstract:

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It is a progressive disease that occurs in stages, each of which is characterized by specific changes in the retina. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina, which is the light-sensitive part of the eye that sends visual signals to the brain. People with diabetes, especially those with poorly controlled blood sugar levels, are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. Over time, high blood sugar levels can cause the blood vessels in the retina to become damaged or blocked. This can lead to swelling, b

Abstract Background A new organisation at the primary level, called model practices, introduces a 0.5 full-time equivalent nurse practitioner as a regular member of the team.

ABSTRACT Background: With the growing incidence of diabetic-related complications such as retinopathy and the well-understood role of screening and telemedicine around the world in preventing and managing this potentially blinding disease, there comes the importance of awareness toward this silent eye condition. Awareness ideally should be raised both from the patients’ and physicians’ perspectives. This study aims to assess the awareness of primary care physicians (PCPs) towards diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its management. Materials and Methods: A survey considering professional background,

Background: Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis is a chronic, unilateral iridocyclitis characterized by iris heterochromia. The gradual progression of the disease leads to the development of cataracts, glaucoma, and, occasionally, vitreous infiltration. The trigger for inflammation of the iris and ciliary body is still unknown. There are several as yet unconfirmed theories about the mechanism of occurrence, including Toxoplasma gondii infection, immune dysfunction, infiltration of sensitized lymphocytes, and chronic herpes virus infection.
