edKENdance,

Strangely enough, the latest issue of Optometry has a Pulfrich phenomenon article in it. In this case, though, optic nerve damage from glaucoma caused differences in speed of transmission of nerve...
The Pulfrich phenomenon. The speed of neural pathways from eye to brain are correlated to the brightness of the signal, so the eye with the slightly darker edges has a slower transmission rate,...
Oculi Unati (defined as "both eyes") appears as in the Pocket Ophthalmic Dictionary and Encylcopedia, sixth edition, by James J. Lewis, copyright 1908 (1910,1913,1916).
Copies may be hard to...
A better comprehensive eye terminology dictionary is obviously in demand - anybody check Stedman's?
OU - oculus uterque is actually singular, because it means 'each eye'. Pluralizing it is a bit...
OD - oculus dexter (right)
OS - oculus sinister (left)
OU - oculus uterque (both)
Uniocular prism may sometimes be used for cosmetic purposes, but 6BI is unlikely in this case.

For those interested, measurable UV radiation from a computer monitor is negligible once you are 1cm (about a half an inch) from the screen, so don't sit too close!
A half hour in the sun covers...
Trust me on this one, you need someone with whom you and your son are comfortable. Look for someone with a track record. There are good and bad ODs, MDs and orthoptists. In general pediatric ODs or...
One of the most successful strategies I've used here is to get the stiffest pair of readers you can find with a wide or double nose bridge and a nylon top wire. Cut the lenses huge vertically to...
I'm looking for Windows-based point of sale systems for opticals/chains. Got a system that you like, with a reasonable client distribution (I'd like to stay away from one-off solutions)? Please post...
Any difficulties you have with a medical professional should be addressed in writing to the governing state regulatory board. Be sure you state the facts of the case (as you remember them), and try...
Amazing how "technology" resurfaces time and time again (no pun intended). This particular concept has been around for more than 50 years, with as little success now as then.
The Maculens(tm) has...
Folks, the adaptive optics story is pretty well on the money.
For those who think low contrast acuity isn't important, try driving at night with a slight fog on your glasses. Improvements there...
Dr. Betty Fretz in Listowel, Canada, may be able to help you locate such items. Her husband used to be involved in preparing databases of donated spectacles for some mission groups. You should be...
Anyone had any experience with the Eyelogic remote refracting system? Anyone aware of any lawsuits related to remote refracting? Inquiring minds want to know....
Thanks,

There are two common ways besides radial keratotomy (which has largely been abandoned as a technique, but is still available in a few places). They are LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomilieusis)...
If the gentleman in question is several dioptres or more myopic, with little to no astigmatism, he might find B&L's SofLens66 contact lenses useful - they have some built-in negative asphericity...
I'm not sure how your post relates to OD's not giving you straight answers, but hey!
Spectral absorption in the eye is probably negligible relative to your skin, so the idea that unfiltered UV in...
Bob,
As an OD who does read this list, I have to reply to your comments regarding the profession of optometry.
Your statement that optometry is not a profession seems to be based on not having a...
Wavefront sensing technology does improve the ability to measure refractive error and higher order aberrations of the eye. It's still not clear (no pun intended) that these data can be used to...
A caution here, as there have been cases in the past where medical files were audited and the 'codes' used were required for clarification by auditors. Have a good backup story!
Anyone doing much remote edging? How are the results? Does material or frame selection matter much?
