Comorbid Vision and Hearing Loss
produced by Springer; interview by Mariam Hussain, fl. 2019 (Berlin State: Springer, 2019), 12 mins
Hearing and visual loss are comorbidities that affect activities of daily living and result in higher mortality rate in an urban population of elderly patients. Patients with age related macular degeneration (ARMD) frequently also have hearing loss, and the combination of hearing and vision loss has been found to...

Description
Hearing and visual loss are comorbidities that affect activities of daily living and result in higher mortality rate in an urban population of elderly patients. Patients with age related macular degeneration (ARMD) frequently also have hearing loss, and the combination of hearing and vision loss has been found to be associated with the greatest likelihood of both cognitive and functional decline. The treatment of both has been suggested to decrea...
Hearing and visual loss are comorbidities that affect activities of daily living and result in higher mortality rate in an urban population of elderly patients. Patients with age related macular degeneration (ARMD) frequently also have hearing loss, and the combination of hearing and vision loss has been found to be associated with the greatest likelihood of both cognitive and functional decline. The treatment of both has been suggested to decrease the functional decline. Although some forms of hearing loss in the elderly are irreversible, many are reversible. This video covers the unique aspects of aging, vision, and hearing loss in order to appropriately equip the ophthalmologist to refer the patient for evaluation.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration
produced by Springer; interview by Mariam Hussain, fl. 2019 (London, England and Berlin State: Springer, 2019), 14 mins
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), if left untreated, is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 50 years older in the US. Patients may have attributed their vision loss to comorbid ocular pathology, such as cataracts. Previously, neovascular AMD often progressed from one eye to the other and caus...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), if left untreated, is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 50 years older in the US. Patients may have attributed their vision loss to comorbid ocular pathology, such as cataracts. Previously, neovascular AMD often progressed from one eye to the other and caused great loss of function in the patient. This video covers topics unique to this phenomena that physician and students should know. Topics include treatment options that greatly reduce the risk of vision loss, present lower costs, the pros and cons of drugs, and other considerations. The videos also cover the limited evidence currently available, prognosis for better treatment options in the future, and patient perceptions on AMD based on common misconceptions and misinformation.

Glaucoma in the Elderly
interview by Natalie DeBolske (Springer, 2019), 10 mins
Half of glaucoma patients in the US are undiagnosed. Tonometry is a relatively light and inexpensive way to screen for glaucoma, and according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, a clear chain of evidence connects glaucoma screening with glaucoma treatment, visual function preservation and quality of life im...

Half of glaucoma patients in the US are undiagnosed. Tonometry is a relatively light and inexpensive way to screen for glaucoma, and according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, a clear chain of evidence connects glaucoma screening with glaucoma treatment, visual function preservation and quality of life improvement. A lack of treatment can have disastrous consequences. For example, glaucoma patients were found to have a 3 fold increase in annual falls and 6 fold increase in motor vehicle accident in the preceding 5 years than controls. It is important for healthcare providers to have a firm grasp of the financial situation of the patient and have a frank discussion about medication and treatment options. The overall status of the patient should also be taken into account when determining treatment rather than pure chronological age. This includes ocular and medical commodities, mobility, and allergies. Physicians should take care to make sure patients also are able to apply eye drops properly, especially if they also have arthritis. Finally, treatment should be determined with the patient, after a discussion of the risks and benefits of treatment options.
In this video, Natalie DeBolske of Baylor college of Medicine interviews Dr. Joanna Queen on the unique needs of aging patients with glaucoma, which is one of the most common conditions in the aging population and can often go undetected until it is advanced.
