Presentation
If the presenting near vision was worse than 6/12 (log MAR 0.3), then it was re-assessed with addition lens appropriate to the age. NVI was defined as binocular presenting near vision worse than 6/12. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Abdominal Obesity
Abdominal obesity was estimated using waist-to-height ratio; a cutoff point of 0.50 was determined as central obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Malingering
RESULTS: Cases of blindness in 55 characters (2 as a choir) from 38 operas were detected over 3 centuries of repertoire: 11 had trauma-related visual impairment, 5 had congenital blindness, 18 had visual impairment of unknown cause, 9 had psychogenic or malingering [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
-
Macrocephaly
Additional features, including central visual impairment, relative macrocephaly, retrognathia, preauricular tags, and bilateral club-feet, were noticed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Generalized Seizure
This disconnection of overlying cortex may allow an "epileptogenic" island of cortex to generate seizures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
After additional workup including lumbar puncture with an opening pressure of 55 cm H2O, a diagnosis of IIH was confirmed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The mutant constructs could not rescue the PGAP1-deficient CHO cell lines resistance to PI-PLC treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
VEPs were also severely abnormal in the infants with the worst visual outcome, but were not providing a more reliable prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis generally relates to the severity of the impairment and the ability of the aids to correct it. A good low vision exam is important to be aware of the latest low vision aids. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Etiology
The potential etiologies of postoperative visual loss are reviewed, and recommendations for avoiding this complication are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
Abstract Epidemiological data describing the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment in Haiti are sparse. The Haitian National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness (CNPC) estimates the prevalence of blindness at 1 %. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
However, its aetiology and pathophysiology remain unclear. The clinical course of this disease is usually benign and self-limiting, but a minority of patients will face very debilitating and sight threatening complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] study exhibited a 4% prevalence in African schoolchildren.[8] The majority of VKC occurs in patients between the ages of 5-25 years old with an age of onset between 10-12 years old; however there are reports of patients as young as 5-months-old.[3][9] Pathophysiology [eyewiki.aao.org]
Prevention
Knowledge of CVI is important in planning preventive measures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Some conditions such as Cataract and Uncorrected Refractive Error are certainly treatable and Trachoma is undoubtedly preventable. [atlas.iapb.org]
