“…Participants were excluded if they were under 40 years of age, according to the recommendations of recent studies, which highlighted the increased risk of glaucoma in older individuals [ 1 ]. Additionally, participants who wore contact lenses in both eyes were excluded due to the lack of proper lens solution and a hand washing station to remove the contact lens, although recent research that came out during this study suggested good reliability of IOP measurements over contact lenses of different materials and thickness profiles while using rebound tonometry [ 16 ]. Two individuals with contact lenses in one eye were screened in the eye without the contact lens.…”

(1) Background: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Unfortunately, no noticeable symptoms exist until mid- to late-stage glaucoma, leading to substantial costs to the patient and the healthcare system. (2) Methods: The Student Sight Savers Program, an initiative started at Johns Hopkins University, was designed to meet the needs of community screening for glaucoma. Several medical students at the Rocky Vista University in Saint George, Utah, were trained, and screened patients at local fairs and gathering places using a modified version of this program. Patients found to have elevated pressure (>21 mmHg) or other ocular abnormalities were referred for an ophthalmological examination. (3) Results: Individuals from medically underserved areas/populations (MUA/Ps) were nearly three times as likely to have elevated intraocular pressure as individuals not in underserved areas (p = 0.0141). A further analysis demonstrates that medical students can help reduce medical costs for patients and the healthcare system by providing referrals to ophthalmologists and reaching populations that are not usually screened for glaucoma. (4) Conclusions: Allowing medical students to perform community-based glaucoma screening events in MUA/Ps using handheld tonometers may decrease the cost burden associated with late diagnosis, and raise awareness about glaucoma, especially in underserved populations.

Background In the last few decades, numerous efforts have been made to develop a better mouse model to overcome the current limitations of laboratory inbred mouse models such as have a weaker and simpler immune status. As part of these efforts, in Korea, the Hallym university medical genetics research team has been developing a new inbred strain of Korean wild mouse KWM/Hym. It was suggested that this strain, which is derived from wild mice, might be useful for genetic research and may become a valuable tool for overcoming some limitations seen in inbred mice that are currently used in the laboratory. Furthermore, for this study, we aimed to determine the visual phenotype of this unique strain KWM/Hym, and consider whether and if they are suitable for visual research. To analyze their visual phenotype, we performed the functional and morphological examinations in KWM/Hym mice and compared the results with laboratory mice which are the most common background strain. Results KWM/Hym had a thin corneal phenotype, thin but well-ordered retina due to their light body weight characteristic, and normal visual function similar to control mice. Unexpectedly, the KWM/Hym mice developed cataracts only at around 25 weeks old. Conclusions We suggest Korean wild mouse KWM/Hym is useful for visual experiments and could be an animal model of eye disease in humans.
