The Giant in Your Chair
We are our patients’ biggest advocates when it comes to this ophthalmic emergency.

An 82-year-old woman presented to her local ophthalmologist for sudden and profound loss of vision in her right eye upon awakening. The doctor diagnosed right optic nerve edema, prescribed prednisone 60mg daily and referred the patient to a neuro-ophthalmologist. Unfortunately, the patient became symptomatic for vision loss in her left eye the very next day and sought care at an ophthalmic emergency department.

"Pregnant Pause" — In expectant mothers, the possibility of temporary ocular changes can complicate prescribing and diagnosis.

“A recent paper published in BMC Ophthalmology has reopened the conversation about the effects of female s*x hormones on the cornea throughout a woman’s life cycle,” notes Suzanne W. Sherman, OD, an associate professor at University of South Florida. Specifically with corneal changes that occur during pregnancy, the question has been brought up of what standards to follow.

The article confirmed that increases in corneal curvature and thickness are due to corneal edema in pregnancy, which can be a factor in transient visual symptoms. These changes are thought to be caused by fluid retention, progesterone and estrogen receptors in the stroma and increased collagenolytic activity. A separate study by Weinreb et al. also reported an increase in corneal thickness, corneal volume and decreased keratometry values.
