Gonioscopy: evaluation and interpretation.

Gonioscopy is the ocular health examination technique which offers to the practitioner the means to directly study the anterior chamber angle. Its uses are numerous and include glaucoma classification, predilation angle evaluation, and the presence of iris tumors, foreign bodies and anterior synechiae. Since a meaningful gonioscopic examination depends upon the examiner's recognition of the chamber landmarks, a detailed analysis of each structural element is presented. In addition, the techniques for performing gonioscopy with the popular lens types are viewed as is the system for interpretation and recording.

Systemic arterial blood pressure and its relevance to optometric practice.

The measurement of systemic blood pressure is a very significant detection test that can provide a great deal of information for the optometrist. The blood pressure readings can be critical in aiding the practitioner's evaluation of both the patient's visual health and related systemic condition and in indicating the possible need for referral. This paper presents a general survey of the benefits blood pressure measurements can provide in the optometric practice.

The measurement of systemic arterial blood pressure.

The measurement of blood pressure, sphygmomanometry, can provide much significant information for the optometrist's evaluation of his patient's ocular and related systemic conditions when the principles involved are understood and skill in its measurement is achieved. This paper will discuss the procedural details of blood pressure measurement.

Human tear cholesterol levels.

Using a cul-de-sac sampling method, tear cholesterol concentrations were measured for a population of subjects varying widely in age and relative body weight. Under unregulated conditions tear and plasma cholesterol levels failed to correlate significantly; however, when both diet and sampling times were strictly regulated, a number of well defined correlations did emerge amongst age, relative body weight, tear and plasma cholesterol levels. No significant response differences were found between the sexes in either the unregulated or the regulated formats however.
