Just One Hour of Smartphone Use Causes Ocular Discomfort in Kids📱
Blink rate decreased and interblink interval increased within the first minute of gaming on the device.
“Knowing that hours of smartphone use in the real world are longer than the short-term intervention in the present study, it is reasonable to consider that the ocular symptoms and blink effects reported herein will persist or get worse over a longer term, causing cumulative damage to the ocular surface." reviewofoptometry.com/article/just-one-hour-of-smartphone-use-causes-ocular-discomfort-in-kids

Este mes de mayo sirve para orientar sobre la presión arterial alta y sus efectos en la retina ocular.

En pocas ocasiones, la presión arterial muy alta se desarrolla repentinamente. Sin embargo, cuando sucede, puede causar cambios graves en el ojo.

Igualmente es más probable que sucedan otros problemas con la retina, como:

-Daño a los nervios del ojo debido a la circulación deficiente.
-Bloqueo de las arterias que suministran sangre a la retina.
-Bloqueo de las venas que llevan la sangre que sale de la retina.

Scleral lenses which are “sucked on” are a real headache for doctor & patient alike. To avoid the midnight call of “Doctor I cannot get my lens out!” then take a few minutes to read Dr. Melissa Barnett’s excellent article:

"In an excellent article by Carrasquillo and Byrnes in Contact Lens Spectrum, the authors defined cling, or suction, as the necessary force to pull a lens from the eye and how this may influence corneal epithelial edema. Since scleral lenses are semi-sealed to the surface of the eye, when fitting scleral lenses, lens suction should be avoided. If tear exchange is present, it is a good indicator that the lens adherence is not present. Even with an ideally fit scleral lens, tear exchange cannot be observed without mechanical manipulation. If a patient reports difficulty with lens removal or hyperemia after the lens removal, both may be a result of a tight lens or improper removal technique.

To confirm that the lens is not suctioned, resistance is tested by a practitioner by removing the lens in office. If the practitioner can easily remove the lens but the patient is experiencing difficulty, then further application and removal instruction may be needed. If reactive hyperemia of the eye is not present after practitioner lens removal, re-instruction may be needed. If resistance is indeed present with removal, the lens landing zone may require loosening/flattening.

Keep in mind that some patients who have an optimal fit with adequate tear exchange may experience exacerbations of inflammation, chemosis and hyperemia due to their underlying ocular or systemic condition. Once the ocular or systemic condition quiets down, the lens fit may once again improve. If a lens has a tight fit or there is significant crowding at the limbal area, Carrasquillo and Byrnes recommend increasing the lens diameter, ensuring adequate limbal clearance, and adding channels under the scleral lens haptic. Channels are distinct tunnels that can be milled into the back surface of the scleral lens. Evaluating and excluding scleral lens suction should be assessed for every scleral lens fit, especially when corneal or limbal edema is present."
