Refractory Giant Cell Arteritis Complicated by Vision Loss From Optic Atrophy and Maculopathy Associated With Pachymeningitis.

Background: We describe a 75-year-old woman who experienced vision loss in her left eye due to biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis (GCA). She subsequently developed pachymeningitis causing refractory headaches and bilateral optic neuropathy and maculopathy.

Methods: Case report with literature review.

Uncorrected refractive error in a Latino population: proyecto VER.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of refractive error (RE), the proportion of those with uncorrected RE, and factors associated with uncorrected RE in Latino adults.

Design: Population-based, cross-sectional study.

Participants: A random sample of 4509 Latinos aged ≥40 years from Arizona with both ophthalmic evaluation and questionnaire.
