The art of medicine is to provide the customer service a patient expects, diagnose and treat each clinical issue correctly, and take the time to answer all of the patients' questions.

The central anterior chambers of these eyes may be only a few corneal thicknesses deep, and their irises may be in apposition to the peripheral posterior cornea. Often they have had a peripheral iridectomy already because they are anatomically predisposed to phakic pupillary block and angle closure glaucoma. Despite these obstacles, most of these eyes can undergo fairly routine cataract surgery with a few extra considerations—a little pre-op digital massage, the administration of a hyperosmotic agent, a carefully constructed cataract incision that prevents iris prolapse, and the judicious use of a highly retentive OVD.

1.高度近視-8.0以上,cupping larger and 拉長 2.Disc hemorrhage:有青光眼的要懷疑進行,沒青光眼要懷疑青光眼。 3.也可以斜斜的cupping 4.青光眼的惡化進行跟ocular circulation 及含氧量有關,以後可能會有doppler儀器。 5.Red-free photo:RNFL看起來是 白-黑@-白 6.RNFL 的loss比VF loss早出現 7.SITA:可以大幅減少VF做的時間,選30,24度,end-stage用10。才不會黑媽媽一片。 8.眼鏡鏡框的Rim effect:黑圈不是從blind spot發出 9.如果眼壓不高且VF正常,只是disc或RNFL不正常,是不需要治療的。
