Visual disturbance affects a significant proportion of the elderly, and although there is an increase in ocular pathology with age (diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, glaucoma, etc.), 91.5% of isolated vision loss in the elderly is due to refractive error. Visual acuity screenings in the primary care setting is a recommended geriatric screening tool to detect undiagnosed visual changes. Adults with visual acuity loss have deterioration in quality of life and have difficulty with activities of daily living, as well as increased risk of social isolation, depression, anxiety, falls, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. These difficulties have been found to be amplified 6 to 41 fold in patients with bilateral visual loss. Aging causes a decrease in visual acuity in mesopic conditions or conditions with glare, as well as worsening color discrimination and a diminishing useful field of view (area of field that the patient can recognize and react to visual stimuli).
The predominant cause of visual impairment in the world and second most common cause of blindness in the world is uncorrected refractive error. In the developing world, this can sometimes be due to surgical aphakia or inadequate pseudophakic correction and problems largely stem from access to affordable health care. However, correctible vision loss is still an enormous problem for the elderly in developed nations as well. Even in patients with ocular comorbidities, a spectacle prescription taking into account the patient’s visual goals can minimize age related visual field and acuity changes.
It should be noted that not all patients with glasses have the correct prescription for their current visual acuity and are essentially using their current glasses as simple magnifiers. Correcting their prescription can have profound impacts on their quality of life and prevent deterioration.

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.

This video walks the viewer through all the steps in the placement of an Ahmed glaucoma valve with the tube passed into the posterior chamber through the sulcus. This is possible in a pseudophakic eye and has the advantage of preventing possible corneal endothelial decompensation secondary to tube-corneal touch. Posterior chamber tube insertion may also be performed by combining surgery with phacoemulsification in older patients with lens changes.
The video demonstrates use of the patient’s own scleral flap to cover the tube, though it is also possible to use preserved sclera or pericardium for this purpose. Fibrin glue is then carefully used to close the edges of the conjunctiva, ensuring that none passes posteriorly into the sub-Tenon’s space. Video segments also discuss priming of the valve, conjunctival peritomy, sub-Tenon dissection, and how to suture the valve plate. The final segments of the video detail how to trim the tube and the insertion of the tube into the posterior chamber, as well as how to anchor the tube to the sclera via a stay suture, and best practices to closing the scleral flap and conjunctiva.

This video describes and illustrates zirconia crown restoration in a patient with early childhood caries of the maxillary anterior teeth. Zirconia crowns for primary teeth confer many advantages, including great strength, durability, and ability to retain a high polish. The patient in this video received general anesthesia for full mouth dental rehabilitation, which guarantees optimal conditions for placement of technically demanding restorations. The video covers key aspects of the procedure, including bur selection, preparation, and subgingival reduction, and documents a novel approach to try-in and cementation that ensures predictable esthetic results. The principal components of this technique are trial alignment with fast-set impression material, pick-up impression of aligned crowns via transparent polyvinyl impression material, delivery of multiple units simultaneously, and command cure of resin-modified glass ionomer cement in the final restoration. Providers who watch this video will be well equipped to deliver anterior zirconia restorations for children with greater skill and confidence.

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world and a significant cause of vision loss in the geriatric population. Vision loss affects patients' activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life. Cataracts are associated with risk factors such as increased age, diabetes mellitus, and steroid use. It is important for physicians to recognize that patients may not fully understand how cataracts contribute to vision loss and may attribute it to an incorrect eyeglass prescription or other etiology. This video covers cataracts in aging patients, who frequently have additional comorbidities or healthcare considerations to take into account that a non-geriatrician may not be trained to factor into care.

The video describes the staged resection of a midbrain ganglioglioma growing into the sylvian aqueduct, bulging downward into the fourth ventricle and upward into the third ventricle. The lesion had been diagnosed and treated four years earlier in another institution, but the tumor grew over the time and the pediatric patient was referred to our department for surgical treatment. Due to the tumor dumbbell appearance, one-stage resection was considered too dangerous and therefore a staged resection in two procedures was planned. Telo-velar approach allowed for removal of approximately 2/3 of the lesion.

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.

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is a surgical procedure for removing the corneal stroma down to deep stroma, Pre-Descemet’s layer, Descemet’s membrane and endothelium. It is most useful for the treatment of corneal disease in the setting of a normally functioning endothelium. Traditionally, penetrating keratoplasty (PK), which involves a full-thickness corneal graft, has been the treatment of choice for corneal stromal diseases. But PK can be complicated by graft rejection, irregular astigmatism and corneal opacification, thus resulting in visual impairment. DALK offers an alternative procedure that may lessen those risks because the recipient Descemet’s membrane and endothelium are preserved. At the same time, DALK carries the advantage of avoiding an open sky situation.
This video opens with an overview of the procedure: when DALK is necessary and the types of surgical techniques that can be used. Big-bubble and manual dissection DALK are then explained in detail, and viewers are walked step-by-step through each procedure. The final segments of the video show viewers how to prepare the donor cornea and technique to suturing the donor graft to the eye.

There are 700,000-1.2 million cases of elder abuse annually in the US, and internationally 2-10% of patients over 65 years old report a history of maltreatment. Less than 10% of the estimated elder abuse cases are reported. Elder abuse includes physical abuse, neglect, exploitation, abandonment, and sexual abuse, psychological abuse (i.e. humiliation, intimidation). Signs of abuse include physical trauma, poor hygiene, malnutrition, or dehydration. Signs also include unexplained broken glasses, noncompliance with prior treatment instructions, missed appointments, or nonspecific anxiety or depression. Abuse of the elderly is often from the spouse or children in the home. The 3-year relative mortality in the elderly with a history of abuse is 3 times greater than controls. The Elder Assessment Instrument is a highly sensitive but nonspecific test for elder abuse. Elder abuse is underreported by physicians, but physicians have a duty to report all cases of suspected abuse in most states. In many cases, the best solution is to treat the abuser’s underlying social and psychological issues and allow the older patient to remain at home.
This video covers the key points that all physicians need to be aware of, as any physician can spot the signs and help a patient suffering from abuse. Since very few physicians are trained in elder abuse, few will recognize the signs and have the appropriate tools to get help for the patient. This video discusses the signs as they may present in the course of a vision-care setting, how to address the problem, and what resources are available to those seeking to help their patients.
