Steinweg, Sue Byrd; Griffin, Harold C.; Griffin, Linda W.; Gingras, Happy – RE:view: Rehabilitation Education for Blindness and Visual Impairment, 2005
The eyes of premature infants are especially vulnerable to injury after birth. A serious complication is called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which is abnormal growth of the blood vessels in an infant's eye. Retinopathy of prematurity develops when abnormal blood vessels grow and spread throughout the retina, which is the nerve tissue at the…

van den Broek, Ellen G. C.; Janssen, C. G. C.; van Ramshorst, T.; Deen, L. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2006
Background: The prevalence of visual impairments in people with severe and profound multiple disabilities (SPMD) is the subject of considerable debate and is difficult to assess. Methods: In a typical Dutch care organization, all clients with SPMD (n = 76) participated in the study and specific instruments adapted to these clients (requiring a…

Kronheim, J. K.; And Others – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1991
This article describes a device, the Visual Hand Display, used by pediatric ophthalmologists at the Children's Low Vision Center (Boston) to evaluate a child's postoperative visual functioning. The device consists of different sized black stripes on white circles and a face. (DB)

Aitken, S.; Buultjens, M. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1991
This article reports on a study of the methods that 21 ophthalmologists used to assess the visual acuity of children with multiple impairments and the difficulties they encountered. Additional means of assessing visual function and alternative means of communicating the results are suggested. (Author/DB)

Rundquist, John – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 2004
Retinitis pigmentosa is a rod-cone dystrophy, commonly genetic in nature. Approximately 60-80% of those with retinitis pigmentosa inherit it by an autosomal recessive transmission (Brilliant, 1999). There have been some reported cases with no known family history. The symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa are decreased acuity, photophobia, night…

Corwin, Thomas R; Mancini, Michael – 1978
A new test designed to detect an hereditary eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is described. This condition is revealed by pigmentation in the retina, but early diagnosis is difficult because the symptoms are subtle, and since it is genetically recessive it frequently occurs in families with no history of early blindness. In many cases…

Florida State Board of Regents, Tallahassee. – 1974
The total span of procedures necessary for care of the human eye and its associated structures is broad. Two professional groups, optometrists and ophthalmologists share in providing this total care. Each must hold a valid current license to practice his or her profession and the extent of prerogative and limitations is spelled out in practice…

Miller, David – Journal of Medical Education, 1981
A teaching eye model that allows the medical student to learn the hand-eye coordination and associated thinking patterns that allow for a more sophisticated use of the ophthalmoscope is described. The eye teaching model attempted to simulate the features found in the eye of a real patient. (MLW)

Sacks, Joel G.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1991
Ophthalmological screening was conducted on 113 clients in a work activity center for adults with mental retardation. Abnormalities that were neither refractive nor strabismic were found in 32 percent of clients. Findings suggest the value of conducting screenings in settings familiar to such clients. (Author/DB)

Cooke, C. A.; Frazer, D. G.; Jackson, A. J. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2006
Background: Intraocular surgery in patients with intellectual disability can be hazardous. Our aim was to determine the outcomes of surgery on all such patients seen in a consultant-led service, and to assess the overall risks and benefits. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with moderate to severe intellectual…
