What role will residency education take in the profession by the year 2000?

Residency education has enjoyed relatively slow but steady growth since its inception in the mid-1970s. A certain segment of recent graduates consider graduation from optometry school as entry level and perceive the need for additional clinical education. The creation of new residency programs and the expansion of existing ones may occur in a variety of settings. For residency education to realize its full potential, optometry must seek federal support for post-graduate clinical education. This would be consistent with federal support provided to other professions for the support of post-graduate clinical education.

Dichromacy and its effect on a young male.

Deuteranopia is a dichromatic color vision defect which may cause problems for an individual asked to perform color-oriented tasks. This can especially create problems for grade school children in classrooms whose instructional material depends heavily on color. This case report presents a child with a deuteranopic color vision defect who was mistakenly labeled learning disabled because of his inability to learn and perform color oriented tasks.

Refractive amblyopia: a preventable vision condition.

There are very few visual conditions which can be greatly reduced or prevented. One exception to this statement is amblyopia, particularly refractive amblyopia. The methods and concepts for prevention are discussed and guidelines are proposed for the management of those pediatric patients "at risk" to develop refractive amblyopia or secondary strabismus.

Low plus lenses and visual performance: a critical review.

This paper reviews the research on which much of the clinical rationale for using low plus lenses is based. An indepth review of this research reveals some serious errors in research methodology and fails to find support for the clinical rationale which supports use of this form of management.

Cone-rod dystrophy: a case report.

Cone-rod dystrophy is considered one of the rarer hereditary retinal degenerations. This disease can be easily mistaken for a number of other conditions because of its unusual characteristics. This paper discusses these characteristics and presents a case report to illustrate how the optometrist can effectively manage patients with this disease.

Refractive amblyopia: a differential diagnosis.

The diagnostic characteristics of refractive amblyopia are discussed and compared to those of strabismic amblyopia. Those characteristics which have appeared in the literature include refractive error type, suppression pattern, fixation type, crowding phenomenon, effect of illumination on visual acuity, color vision and electrodiagnostic tests.

The Roth 28-hue test.

The Roth 28-hue test, first described in 1966, uses every third color cap from the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue (85-color-cap) test. Protans, deutans, and tritans exhibit slightly different confusion axes on the Roth 28-hue test and the Farnsworth D-15 test. These axes are illustrated on a CIE chromaticity diagram. The little-used Roth 28-hue test may be a good compromise between the D-15 and 100-hue tests, but clinical trials for verification are needed.

Refractive amblyopia: its classification, etiology, and epidemiology.

The traditional classification of functional amblyopia and von Noorden's classification are compared to a problem-oriented classification. The newly proposed classification is different from the others primarily by its inclusion of refractive amblyopia. The etiology and epidemiology of refractive amblyopia are also discussed.
