摘要:

&NA;The visual status of 88,341 hospitalized veterans receiving care at Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Centers on October 4, 1978, was determined, based on clinical records and on personal observations by registered nurses. For 72% of this group of veterans, there were no notations of either eye or vision care rendered within the preceding 2 years. Within the group which had received eye or vision care within the prior 2 years, the combined incidence of legal blindness [visual acuity < 6/60 (20/200)] and low vision [defined here as visual acuity between 6/15 (20/50) and 6/ 30 (20/100)] was 40%. These data are analyzed further, and implications concerning optometric care are discussed.

摘要:

&NA;Numerals are less frequently used than letters in testing visual acuity; however, a number of commercially available screening units use numerals for driver's license vision testing and in industrial settings. This paper presents research on selection of appropriate numerals for vision testing.

摘要:

&NA;A questionnaire was distributed to 10 optometry residency programs in the Veterans Administration (VA) Department of Medicine and Surgery. Results of the survey, including demographic, epidemiologic, and curriculum data are presented, with special emphasis upon the many similarities and few differences among these programs.

摘要:

&NA;This presentation addresses the many facets of interdisciplinary cooperation in training of interns. Areas in which optometrists are strongly qualified to do so include physiological optics, contact lenses, low vision, and binocular vision. Attitudes toward the training of ophthalmologists by optometrists are explored, along with the positive benefits flowing from such cooperation.

摘要:

&NA;Over a 2‐month period, 1,515 optometric patients were evaluated by a collaborative study group of 30 staff doctors in Veterans Administration Medical Centers and Outpatient Clinics. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the status of foveal light reflexes in the population, and thereby to establish normative data for this clinical phenomenon. Frequency data, correlation analyses, and literature citations are included in the paper.

摘要:

&NA;Recently, there have been several suggestions that Goldmann applanation tonometry can be performed without fluorescein. In order to determine the clinical efficacy of performing Goldmann applanation tonometry without fluorescein, 100 consecutive patients had applanation tonometry performed without fluorescein (Ophthetic only) and with fluorescein (Fluress), according to a predetermined randomization schedule. It was found that the average difference between readings with fluorescein and without fluorescein was 7.01 mm Hg. Tonometry readings without fluorescein were lower than readings with fluorescein. In addition, regression analysis indicated that the differences between the readings with and without fluorescein increased as intraocular pressure increased. By not utilizing fluorescein in Goldmann applanation tonometry, the clinician will record lower readings. In addition, greater errors in measurement occur with increasing intraocular pressures. Because eyes with higher intraocular pressures are at a greater risk to develop glaucomatous optic atrophy and loss of visual field, the merits of Goldmann applanation tonometry without fluorescein are speculative.

摘要:

&NA;This paper presents a brief historical review and details of one case of this condition. Terrien's marginal corneal degeneration involves a relatively painless degeneration of the superior corneal stroma, with the most prominent clinical finding being the marked irregular astigmatism which accompanies the corneal thinning.
