Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the connection between poverty and vision problems in children by comparing vision screening results between Title 1 schools (those with higher rates of poverty) and Non-Title 1 schools.
- - Findings show that referral rates for eye exams have risen, particularly in Title 1 schools, where about 25.2% of students were referred compared to 11.9% from Non-Title 1 schools, mainly due to higher astigmatism rates among Title 1 students.
- - The research concludes that Title 1 students are at greater risk for amblyopia, indicating a need for more eye care interventions to help mitigate this risk.
Background: Glaucoma drainage implants have been used with increasing frequency for the management of glaucoma. Patients who are candidates for glaucoma drainage devices often have more severe disease and are at risk of vision loss with post-operative elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP). One post-operative complication that can result in IOP elevation after glaucoma drainage device implantation is occlusion of the tube lumen.

Many of these reports were written decades ago and outside of the USA. We summarize a review of the literature and discuss a contemporary case of a ruptured globe and facial trauma secondary to a projectile weapon.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: A total of 554 eyes of 523 patients presenting for RRD repair at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Colorado School of Medicine, between July 2011 and September 2016.
Background: Poor follow-up after post-screening referral is a challenge faced by vision screening organizations. This study examines barriers to follow-up eye care in children who were referred for a comprehensive eye exam following a vision screening event in western South Dakota.
Methods: Children referred for a comprehensive eye exam following a screening event by Northern Plains Eye Foundation Western South Dakota Lions Children's Vision Screening Initiative (CVSI) from September 2014 to February 2015 were identified for a telephone survey.
