Thesis
                        • Globally 45 million people are blind
                          due to three main causes and have had
                          to deal with not only loss of vision but
                          loss of independence as well. Guide
                          dogs have been traced back to the 16th
                          century and have helped blind persons
                          regain their independence.

Editor's Notes

  1. \n
  2. \n
  3. - chose this topic because I love dogs \n- wanted to look into something that would deal with dogs giving back to the community \n
  4. - people who are legally blind have a central visual acuity in their better eye that when corrected does not exceed 20/200\n- or a visual field with a maximum angular diameter of no more than 20 degrees \n
  5. Approximately 10 million people who are blind or visually impaired\n1.3 million are considered to be legally blind\nMore than 93,000 children in special education programs who are blind or visually impaired \n109,000 people who are visually impaired use long canes to get around \n10,000 people use guide dogs in the United States and Canada \n1500 people graduate from a guide dog program annually \n
  6. \n
  7. - what someone who has a cataract&amp;#x2019;s eye would look like\n- best description is a cloudy looking lens \n- this is the number one cause world wide of blindness \n- throughout life our bodies replace old cells with new ones \n- as we get older the old cells in our eyes build up and block all of the light that is trying to pass through and that is how the cloudy vision occurs\n\n
  8. age-related: 95% of cataracts are age-related after the age of 40 \ncongenital: these defects occur at birth by either an infection or inflammation during pregnancy\ntraumatic: lens damage from an eye injury such as a very hard blow, a cut, a puncture, intense heat, or a chemical burn \nsecondary: some medicines, eye disease, eye infection, or diseases such as diabetes can cause cataracts\n\n
  9. - picture of what a person with cataracts sees \n
  10. RISK FACTORS\n- uv light exposure\n- long term steroid use\n- heredity from family members who have had cataracts\n- eye injury or diseases \n- smoking\n\n
  11. - more then half of the people over the age of 80 have had a cataract or have had surgery \n\n
  12. - a small incision is make in the eye\n- the cataract (the clouded lens) is removed from the eye through this incision\n- an IOL (intraocular lens) is inserted in replace of the old lens \n
  13. -GLAUCOMA IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF BLINDNESS IN THE UNITED STATES, IT AFFECTS OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE\n- WORLD WIDE IT AFFECTS CLOSE TO 67 MILLION PEOPLE\n\n- Glaucoma is the result of the build up of the aqueous humor fluid in the eye\n - the eye is always making a fluid called aqueous humor\n- this fluid helps maintain a normal eye pressure and provides the lens and the cornea with the nutrients that is needed\n- this fluid circulates in the front of the eye \n- it gets drained through the trabecular meshwork \n- there is usually a balance between how much of the Aqueous Humor is made and how much of it leaves the eye\n- when there is not a balance between the two then intraocular pressure builds up inside the eye\n- this leads to damages to the optic nerve and glaucoma can develop\n\n
  14. - glaucoma is often referred to as &amp;#x201C;the sneak thief of sight.&amp;#x201D;\n\n- EXPERTS HAVE PREDICTED THAT ABOUT HALF OF THE 3 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE US THAT ARE AFFECTED BY GLAUCOMA DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY HAVE IT until permanent damage has occurred\n\n- it has no symptoms \n- vision loss from glaucoma cannot be regained\n- untreated glaucoma will lead to blindness \n\n
  15. - Glaucoma is a group of diseases that are distinguished by the increase of pressure in the eye which leads to the nerve damages\n- there is many different types of diseases that fall into the category of glaucoma that can cause blindness \n
  16. - open angle has no symptoms at first \n- high eye pressure is the most recognized risk factor for the development and progression of the disease\n- the pressure will continue to build up until the optic nerve is damaged\n- the first sign of this disease will be loss of peripheral vision\n- if left untreated this will lead to complete blindness \n
  17. - there is two types of closed angle glaucoma\n- acute and chronic\n\n
  18. - acute closed angle glaucoma is a medical emergency that needs to be treated immediately or else blindness can occur in one or two days \n- the iris and lens are suddenly blocked from receiving the aqueous humor fluid \n- symptoms of acute is severe pain, nausea, vommiting, and blurred vision\n- patient could possibly see halos around lights\n\n
  19. - chronic closed angle glaucoma progresses slowly and will produce damage without symptoms (similar to open angle) \n
  20. - there is no build up of the aqueous humor fluid in the eye \n- it is not well understood what causes the damage to the optic nerve in normal tension glaucoma\n- it is believed that it is the result of a very fragile or weak optic nerve\n- also believed to develop from low blood flow to the optic nerve\n\n
