Background
Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is a disease of the optic nerve head seen in patients over the age of 50 and more commonly over the age of 70. With few exceptions, arteritic AION is caused by giant cell arteritis. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with corticosteroids are essential for preventing potentially devastating visual loss from this disease.
Case Report
A 63-year-old white man presented with the complaints of blurred vision of the right eye and visual field loss of the left eye. Ocular examination found bilateral swollen optic nerve heads. Visual field testing showed altitudinal defects in each eye. Laboratory testing was significant for elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The patient was treated with oral prednisone for arteritic AION and referred to a rheumatologist. At follow-up, the patient’s ESR and CRP levels showed significant improvement. The optic nerve head of the left eye showed a reduction in swelling, and the visual field finding was stable.
Conclusion
Arteritic AION is an ocular emergency. Optometrists need to be able to recognize and diagnose this condition quickly to initiate critical corticosteroid treatment.

Background
Athletes have demonstrated better visual abilities than nonathletes. A vision assessment for an athlete should include methods to evaluate the quality of visual performance skills in the most appropriate, accurate, and repeatable manner. This study determines the reliability of the visual performance measures assessed with a computer-based system, known as the Nike Sensory Station.
Methods
One hundred twenty-five subjects (56 men, 69 women), age 18 to 30, completed Phase I of the study. Subjects attended 2 sessions, separated by at least 1 week, in which identical protocols were followed. Subjects completed the following assessments: Visual Clarity, Contrast Sensitivity, Depth Perception, Near–Far Quickness, Target Capture, Perception Span, Eye–Hand Coordination, Go/No Go, and Reaction Time. An additional 36 subjects (20 men, 16 women), age 22 to 35, completed Phase II of the study involving modifications to the equipment, instructions, and protocols from Phase I.
Results
Results show no significant change in performance over time on assessments of Visual Clarity, Contrast Sensitivity, Depth Perception, Target Capture, Perception Span, and Reaction Time. Performance did improve over time for Near-Far Quickness, Eye-Hand Coordination, and Go/No Go.
Conclusions
The results of this study show that many of the Nike Sensory Station assessments show repeatability and no learning effect over time. The measures that did improve across sessions show an expected learning effect caused by the motor response characteristics being measured.

Background
This study investigated prescription spectacles ordered from online vendors and delivered directly to the public for compliance with the optical tolerance and impact resistance requirements for eyewear dispensed in the United States.
Methods
Ten individuals ordered 2 pairs of spectacles from each of 10 of the most visited Internet vendors, totaling 200 eyewear orders. Spectacles ordered consisted of ranges of lens and frame materials, lens styles, and refractive corrections reflecting current distributions in the United States. Evaluations included measurement of sphere power, cylinder power and axis, add power (if indicated), horizontal prism imbalance, and impact testing.
Results
We received and evaluated 154 pairs of spectacles, comprising 308 lenses. Several spectacles were provided incorrectly, such as single vision instead of multifocal and lens treatments added or omitted. In 28.6% of spectacles, at least 1 lens failed tolerance standards for at least 1 optical parameter, and in 22.7% of spectacles, at least 1 lens failed impact testing. Overall, 44.8% of spectacles failed at least 1 parameter of optical or impact testing.
Conclusion
Nearly half of prescription spectacles delivered directly by online vendors did not meet either the optical requirements of the patient's visual needs or the physical requirements for the patient's safety.
