Visual Impairment
Diminished Vision

Presentation

If the presenting near vision was worse than 6/12 (log MAR 0.3), then it was re-assessed with addition lens appropriate to the age. NVI was defined as binocular presenting near vision worse than 6/12. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] for less developed countries and even higher for more developed countries, in the number of persons with presenting visual acuity less than 6/60 as compared with presenting visual acuity less than 3/60 [12, 23, 24]. [bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com]

Workup

After additional workup including lumbar puncture with an opening pressure of 55 cm H2O, a diagnosis of IIH was confirmed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment

The mutant constructs could not rescue the PGAP1-deficient CHO cell lines resistance to PI-PLC treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

See the Health A-Z topic on: Macular degeneration - treatment for more information about the treatment options for dry and wet AMD. [hse.ie]

Prognosis

VEPs were also severely abnormal in the infants with the worst visual outcome, but were not providing a more reliable prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis generally relates to the severity of the impairment and the ability of the aids to correct it. A good low vision exam is important to be aware of the latest low vision aids. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

It is important to note that not all researchers agree on the full range of causes, the prognosis or even the proper diagnostic label used to describe vision loss due to brain damage. [tech.aph.org]

Etiology

The potential etiologies of postoperative visual loss are reviewed, and recommendations for avoiding this complication are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The team observed the development of early and late AMD over a period of around 18 years in the participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study which investigated the etiology and clinical outcomes of atherosclerosis, a disease in [hindi.gujaratfinancialexpress.com]

Epidemiology

Abstract Epidemiological data describing the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment in Haiti are sparse. The Haitian National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness (CNPC) estimates the prevalence of blindness at 1 %. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology

However, its aetiology and pathophysiology remain unclear. The clinical course of this disease is usually benign and self-limiting, but a minority of patients will face very debilitating and sight threatening complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] study exhibited a 4% prevalence in African schoolchildren.[8] The majority of VKC occurs in patients between the ages of 5-25 years old with an age of onset between 10-12 years old; however there are reports of patients as young as 5-months-old.[3][9] Pathophysiology [eyewiki.aao.org]

Prevention

Conclusions: About one-sixth of IADL limitations and one-fifth of social participation restrictions could be prevented by an optimal optical correction. These results underline the importance of eye examinations in older adults to prevent disability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some conditions such as Cataract and Uncorrected Refractive Error are certainly treatable and Trachoma is undoubtedly preventable. [atlas.iapb.org]

Key facts Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. [who.int]

Currently, the most common form of vision loss, macular degeneration, is neither preventable nor curable (but early detection and appropriate treatment can prevent blindness). Irreversible vision loss is twice as common as dementia. [visualimpairment.org.nz]
