Complications of cataract and implant surgery.

Cataract surgery was once a procedure that required several days of hospitalization and months of recuperation. It can now be performed in 15 minutes or less in an ambulatory surgical center. Complete visual rehabilitation may occur as soon as 3 weeks postoperatively with virtually no limitations in lifestyle. Correspondingly, the risks and complications associated with the procedure have slowly dwindled. This paper discusses the most prevalent, as well as the most significant, early and late problems encountered with cataract and implant surgery. General guidelines for management are offered.

Internal carotid artery disease.

Internal carotid artery disease is a challenge to the optometrist because of its full spectrum of manifestations. A detailed case history and a thorough evaluation of the ocular and visual signs and symptoms are invaluable in the appropriate management of the patient. The optometric practitioner must consider this disease in middle-aged or elderly patients who present with suggestive signs and/or symptoms. Appropriate diagnosis and management of the disease will, it is hoped, result in the continued visual health and longevity of these patients.

Serpiginous (geographic) choroiditis.

A 35-year-old male with a previous history of bilateral vision loss from serpiginous (geographic) choroiditis was given vision rehabilitation. Although visual acuities were relatively good, the characteristics of the scotomata, the restraints imposed by more conventional low vision devices, and the specific visual needs of the patients suggested the prescribing of a closed circuit television (CCTV). The visual sequelae of this rare form of choroiditis may be devastating even after medical or surgical therapy, but may be favorably managed by vision rehabilitation.
