Charles Bonnet Syndrome Adversely Affects Vision-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Glaucoma.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) on vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) in patients with glaucoma.

Design: Cross-sectional cohort study.

Participants: Twenty-four patients with CBS and 42 matched controls without CBS out of 337 patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) with visual field (VF) loss.

Return to work after early repair of acute traumatic rotator cuff tears.

Background: Lost workdays following rotator cuff repair is not well-studied in the literature. We aimed to define the time away from work following early arthroscopic repair of acute traumatic rotator cuff tears and compare it with the recommendations of the American Medical Disability Advisor (MD Guidelines) and The Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

Methods: Thirty-two consecutive working patients with a median age of 58 (42-70) years suffering from acute traumatic rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic repair were prospectively studied.
