Emergency eye conditions include red eye, eye pain, foreign objects, trauma, chemical injuries, and sudden vision loss. If an eye is injured, hold a clean cloth on it, bandage any cuts to prevent infection, and do not rub or flush the eye. Do not try to remove any embedded objects. Seek immediate medical care for chemical burns by continuously rinsing the eye with water for 10-15 minutes. Symptoms of acute angle-closure glaucoma like eye pain, nausea, headache, and blurred vision require calling an ophthalmologist right away. Sudden vision loss or blindness also necessitates prompt evaluation by an eye specialist.

HYPERMETROPIA PPT
role of ophthalmic technician.pptx
Ophthalmic medical technicians work with eye doctors to provide patient care by performing various eye-related clinical tasks. These tasks include taking patient histories, operating ophthalmic equipment, preparing patients for exams and surgeries, performing tests like visual acuity and biometry tests, assisting during exams and surgeries, advising patients on medications and lenses, and maintaining equipment and patient records.
Medical management of uveitis
This document provides guidelines for the medical management of uveitis. It discusses evaluating patients for infectious vs immunological causes and determining when further workup is needed. The basic therapeutic principles are treating any infectious causes specifically and using corticosteroids to control non-infectious inflammation, with immunomodulatory agents as adjuvants. It then details treatment approaches and medications for different types of uveitis including anterior, intermediate, posterior with or without vitritis, and retinal vasculitis.
Refractive errors
Hyperopia, also known as hypermetropia, is a refractive error where light focuses behind the retina rather than on it when the eye is at rest and not accommodating. This results in a blurred image. The eye will unconsciously accommodate to try and bring the image into focus. Hyperopia can be corrected using a convex lens, which helps bring the light rays back to focus on the retina. It is often not noticed until later in life when the eye loses its ability to accommodate as strongly.
Pediatric Eye Care
An eye examination comprehensively evaluates vision and eye health, conducted by an ophthalmologist or optometrist to diagnose and treat vision disorders. Signs that a child may have a vision problem include red, watery or irritated eyes; frequent rubbing of eyes; squinting or frowning; difficulty with close-up tasks; dizziness or headaches after close work; and complaints of blurry or double vision or itchy eyes. If a parent notices one or more of these signs, they should schedule an eye exam right away. The eye doctor visit will be most successful if the child is well-rested and not hungry, and if favorite quiet activities are brought along.

Additional topics covered include strabismus, presbyopia, cataracts, retinopathies, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, ocular tumors, and refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Nyctalopia & retinitis pigmentosa
Rods contain the visual pigment rhodopsin, which consists of the protein opsin bound to the chromophore retinal. Rhodopsin absorbs blue light at 500nm and allows rods to function in low light conditions. Rods are more numerous and sensitive to light than cones, allowing vision in dim environments. When shifting from light to dark, the processes of pigment regeneration and phototransduction take place over 30 minutes to restore night vision through the visual pigment rhodopsin in rods. Nyctalopia, or night blindness, can result from vitamin A deficiency or other causes that impair rod function.
The RED EYE

The objectives are to recognize common red eye conditions, accurately diagnose and treat the causes, and identify patients needing referral. The document provides guidance on taking a history, performing an examination of the eyes and surrounding areas, diagnosing common etiologies like conjunctivitis, styes, and trauma-related injuries, and identifying "red flags" requiring prompt referral.
Eye Injuries
Eye injuries can occur from direct trauma, chemical contamination, infection, allergies, or other medical conditions. Some common signs of eye injuries include pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling and watering. The treatment for an eye injury depends on its cause but generally involves flushing the injured eye with water and seeking immediate medical attention to prevent further damage.
LASIK.pptx
LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and an actual cure for astigmatism, since it is in the cornea. LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity. For most people, LASIK provides a long-lasting alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses.
The planning and analysis of corneal reshaping techniques such as LASIK have been standardized by the American National Standards Institute, an approach based on the Alpins method of astigmatism analysis. The FDA website on LASIK states,
"Before undergoing a refractive procedure, you should carefully weigh the risks and benefits based on your own personal value system, and try to avoid being influenced by friends that have had the procedure or doctors encouraging you to do so."
The procedure involves creating a thin flap on the eye, folding it to enable remodeling of the tissue beneath with a laser and repositioning the flap.
Retinoscopy
Retinoscopy is an objective technique used to determine the refractive error of the eye using a retinoscope. There are two main types: static retinoscopy with relaxed accommodation and dynamic retinoscopy with active accommodation. The retinoscope projects a streak of light into the eye and the examiner observes the movement and characteristics of the reflected light to determine the refractive error. Common issues that can arise include an incorrect working distance, uncooperative accommodation, or ocular pathology. Retinoscopy provides an initial refractive estimate and is useful for populations that cannot communicate verbally.
Visual acuity
Visual acuity is a measure of form sense and the ability to resolve fine detail. It is defined as the reciprocal of the minimum visual angle that can be resolved, measured in minutes of arc. Visual acuity depends on factors like the size and distance of an object, as well as characteristics of the observer such as accommodation and the optical elements of the eye. There are several methods used to measure visual acuity clinically, including assessing unaided acuity, habitual acuity, and optimal acuity under standardized testing conditions of illumination, testing distance, and letter size. Visual acuity test results can be recorded using decimal notation, percentage acuity, or the traditional Snellen fraction.
Streak retinoscope
This document provides an overview of streak retinoscopy. It describes the Welch Allyn Elite streak retinoscope and its components. The projection system illuminates the retina using a light source, condensing lens, mirror, and focusing sleeve. The observation system allows the observer to see the retinal reflex through a peephole. By examining how the streak moves with different lenses, the observer can determine a patient's refractive error and prescription. The Elite provides advantages like increased brightness and reduced glare. Disadvantages include potential fingerprints on the optics and shorter battery life due to the bright bulb. In conclusion, streak retinoscopy is a useful technique for examining patients, and the skill of the observer is more important than the brand of

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Travel Clinic Cardiff: Health Advice for International Travelers

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
