An estimated 6-10% of Americans currently take GLP-1 medications, or glucagon like peptide, which is a gut hormone that helps the body control blood sugar by controlling insulin, slowing digestion, and sending signals of being full to the brain. These medications are commonly prescribed for diabetes and weight loss. Are you aware of the potential ocular side effects? The most common are blurry vision, headaches, dizziness and dry eyes, but rare ocular health side effects have also been reported. If you have diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration, there is a risk of worsening of these conditions when you have rapid blood sugar and fluid loss. Following your eye health closely with a doctor is important to make sure any progression to eye disease gets immediate treatment to recover vision. There is also a rare but serious potential side effect of permanent vision loss from stroke inside the eye, called NAION. This condition has no treatment, so talking to your eye doctor to see if you are at a high risk of NAION before starting any GLP-1 medication is an important baseline discussion. While only 1 in 10,000 people suffer an NAION in their lifetime, taking a GLP-1 medication doubles that risk.

Our ability to see color is genetic! Color blindness is caused by genes on the X chromosome, which is why men are much more likely to have color blindness than women. The photoreceptors in our retina that detect color (called the cones) signal the brain for the color they are responsible for. But if the cones are faulty or overlap in their signal, there can be confusion. Red/green colorblindness is the most common where the cones that signal for red overlap with the cones that signal for green, causing both colors to look the same. Color vision can have a large spectrum of normal- you can have mild color weaknesses as well as frank color blindness. And some people are super color detectors and have a special cone dedicated to a color of red that most of us can’t see! Our patient made her own color vision test, and maybe one day her ingenuity will replace the one we use in the office: the Ishihara color test with all those little dots of colors. Do you have any color vision questions? Ask the below and we’re happy to help!

Complied a few of the patient cases we saw just on Monday! Contact lenses can be a great option for many people - giving them a way to see clearly without being dependent on glasses. Specialty contact lenses, well that’s where things can get even more innovative! For people living with irregular corneas like keratoconus, specialty contact lenses like sclerals can provide them a way to see their world again when glasses cannot. Orthokeratology corneal molds can correct your prescription while you sleep, providing clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. They also slow the worsening of childhood myopia! And for people with mild irregularities, specialty contact lenses can provide the maximum clarity, but you might still enjoy glasses wear for convenience and ease day to day. Whether you wear contact lenses full time or part time, there is no one way that works for every patient and we’re here to listen to your needs and wants and find the best available option for your unique eyes!

Keratoconus is much more common than we previously thought! New technology has made it easier for doctors to detect even mild forms of this condition, opening up a new understanding about how many people can benefit from custom contact lenses like scleral lenses. .rab is sharing his journey with keratoconus and scleral lenses on his social media as an official ambassador for the Angel Eyes Foundation. As a doctor who has been helping patients to get their best vision with scleral lenses for over a decades, it’s amazing to see so many people creating content about their journey to help normalize these lenses and spread the word about the incredible vision improvements possible with modern contact lenses!

If you are a child or an adult with strabismus (an eye turn) recognizing when your eyes are apart is a big step in the treatment process. Our patient was so proud to show us that she can even make her doll, Lily Lime, have eyes just like hers when they turn out! Physical therapy for the eyes (also called vision therapy or neurovisual rehabilitation) helps patients recognize the feeling when their eyes are misplaced and then have the muscle strength and skill to bring the eyes back together into alignment and binocular vision.

When contact lenses get exposed to different chemicals or contaminants, they can change in shape and even color! The most common reason that contact lenses turn pink is from using store bought hydrogen peroxide to make your own contact lens cleaning solution. The only safe contact lens cleaners are the ones you buy at the store that specially state they are for cleaning contact lenses - don’t try to make your own! Bacterial or fungal contamination can also cause pink or orange color changes. If your contact lenses look misshapen or like they are changing color, always throw that pair away and start with a fresh set.
