Aqueous shunt to the ocular surface for severe dry eye
      In very dry eyes from any etiology, there is a need for near-continuous fluid supply to the ocular surface. Here is presented a patient with severe dry eyes who had a double-tubed valve shunt implanted to divert the aqueous humor to the lower lid fornix, thereby wetting the eye. Such arrangement has previously been used in eyes with keratoprosthesis and glaucoma.
Glaucoma severity linked to risk of auto accidents
      Fort Lauderdale, FL—Patients who have moderate-to-severe glaucoma are more likely to be involved in motor vehicle collisions, according to Gerald McGwin Jr., MS, PhD, and colleagues. They found that patients with moderate-to-severe impairment in the central 24° radius in their worse eye had a higher risk of involvement in crashes compared with patients with glaucoma who did not have visual field loss.
Patients may pay for refractive 'extras' in cataract surgery
      When removing a cataract, surgeons have an opportunity to perform other vision-correcting procedures. However, that scenario leads to what can be a delicate subject—who's going to pay for those "extras?"
