Sensitivity of ocular symptom screening was 7.7%, with a positive predictive value of 18% in this population.
The findings of this study, particularly the low sensitivity and PPV of ocular symptom screening in this population suggest that utilising patients' subjective description of ocular complaints is not a reliable method for detecting HIV-associated ocular disease.
In view of the rapidly progressing kyphoscoliosis and ocular symptoms, mutation screening of PLOD1 was initially performed to exclude the kyphoscoliotic type of EDS (EDS, type VIA), but no PLOD1 mutation was identified.
At screening, ocular and medical histories and previous and concomitant medications were documented; ophthalmoscopy, refraction, biomicroscopy, and a slit lamp examination (to evaluate hyperemia) were performed; and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and IOP were measured.
The purpose of this study was to compare the VERA visual skills screening with the optometric assessment of binocular, accommodative, and ocular motor skills.
To compare the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and tear osmolarity, to screen ocular surface alterations in video display terminal (VDT) users.
The results show a trend of a lower efficacy in screening associated ocular findings like nevi or optic disc atrophy.
School based ophthalmic screening for ocular abnormalities and low vision in school children of the same town revealed one or more ocular abnormalities in 62% of the students and refractive error was also found to be the leading cause of low vision in this study [ 9].
