🔍 Keelboat hemorrhage: This type of hemorrhage manifests with a keel boat-shaped appearance. Its unique shape is due to the gravitational settling of blood between the retina and vitreous. It can be caused by various factors, including trauma, hypertension or coagulopathy. #theeyevet #vetsofindia #veterinaryophthalmology #ophthalmology #vetophthalmology

Important alert from Dry Eye Foundation for all #contactlens wearers - keep your eyes safe! Use official solution for cleaning and storing your contact lenses! #scleral #ophthalmology #warning #optometry #contactlens #eyehealth #dryeyefoundation #akeyefoundation #safetyalert

SCLERAL LENS PROVIDERS - this improperly packaged preservative-free saline is being advertised on Amazon and Walmart as a cleaning, disinfection and storage solution, and there are strong indications that it is routinely not sterile on arrival. Please warn your patients that this is NOT an acceptable alternative to any sterile preservative free saline, and it cannot be used for storage let alone cleaning. Consumer trends take off rapidly and those low prices are very alluring. ECP FRIENDS - please share this alert. It would be really great if we could heed obvious, KNOWN warning signs and prevent harm rather than wait for adverse events to trigger action by the FDA or CDC. Hopefully, we have learned from the Ezricare eye drop catastrophe that when amateurs get into the sterile ophthalmics distribution business bad things can happen, and when they leave out the preservative, lack of sterility can cause loss of vision and loss of life. When a contact is holding this solution on the eye for hours, risk increases. Check out Aidan's video of a bottle with its safety seal squirting out liquid when squeezed. Amazon reviews for this product are full of reports of bottles leaking on arrival. Leaking = not sterile. Amazon's review section has an entire category dedicated to leaky bottles. I hope some day they will put their AI to use to help identify safety trends in their product reviews.

The Dry Eye Foundation is warning consumers against using Aqua Naina Sterile Saline Solution with any contact lenses, including scleral lenses. Read why at https://buff.ly/4dHGYYt #optometry #ophthalmology #dryeyefoundation #scleral #sclerallens

#Nightblindness is often associated with a #deficiency in #vitaminA. When there's a lack of vitamin A the #eye #struggles to adjust to #dimlight leading to difficulties seeing in the #dark or at #night hence the term "night blindness." #Vision2024 #Optometry #Ophthalmology
