Exophoria at near in presbyopia.

The exophoria at near working distances through a plus lens addition which exists in presbyopia was investigated in order to explain the paradoxical lack of asthenopic symptoms associated with this condition. Fixation disparity measurements indicate that the exophoria which is measured by the von Graefe technique does not exist under binocular conditions. Further analysis indicates that presbyopes may have unrestrained use of accommodative convergence.

Occupational and environmental disorders of the special senses.

Occupational hazards to vision, hearing, balance, olfaction, and taste typically constitute a small fraction of specialty medical practices in ophthalmology and otolaryngology. With the possible exception of noise-related hearing loss and VDT eye hazards, the scientific literature regarding these hazards tends to be scattered and variably accessible to occupational medicine practitioners. It is hoped that the current review will heighten the appreciation of these hazards among both generalists and specialists, and will encourage future documentation and reporting of this interesting group of disorders.
