Coexistence of several ocular diseases is more frequent than suspected. In spite of the refractive errors, one or more of the following can be detected simultaneously: glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis, age-related macular degeneration, and dry eyes. In addition, as people age, ocular comorbidities are much more usually seen. Specific diseases are openly acknowledged to affect the eyes and vision, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension blood pressure, arthritis, hyperthyroidism, neurodegenerative disorders, hematologic malignancies, and/or systemic infections. Recent advances in early diagnosis and therapy of the ophthalmic pathologies have reinforced patient options to prevent visual impairment and blindness. Because of this, it is essential not to overlook sight-threatening conditions such as the ocular comorbidities and/or the eye involvement in the context of systemic disorders. Moreover, the important role of the multidisciplinary cooperation to improve and sustain management of patients affected with eclectic ocular comorbidities and/or systemic disorders with eye repercussion is specifically addressed. This review intends to shed light on these topics to help in making opportune diagnosis and appropriately managing the affected patients.

Primary retinal pigment degeneration of retina, also known as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), is a group of hereditary retinal degenerative diseases with common expression of photoreceptor and pigment epithelium, a relatively common blanket layer -retinal degeneration (tapetoretinal degeneration) to night blindness, progressive visual field damage, fundus pigmentation and abnormal electroretinogram or no wave for its main clinical features, but also common worldwide blindness eye disease. Clinically, "binocular retinal pigment degeneration" is more common, "monocular retinal pigment degeneration" is relatively rare, and domestic and foreign magazines have also been reported. This case reports an example of "typical monocular retinal pigment degeneration", from the fundus and other clinical findings and genetic testing analysis of this case, improving the "monocular retinal pigment degeneration" diagnosis rate, reducing the rate of missed diagnosis.

Audience Residents and medical students Introduction The eye is a critical, but often neglected, part of medical learning. This team-based learning (TBL) module was developed for emergency medicine residents and medical students; however, is applicable to any learner who should know basic eye anatomy and pathology. Emergency medicine teams, primary care providers, and ophthalmologists are most likely to encounter ocular emergencies. 1 – 3 These emergencies are uncommon but quite dire when they occur and can result in permanent disability and life-changing morbidity. 2 , 4 It is critical that medical practitioners who are exposed to these types of emergencies are well prepared to evaluate and treat them. To fully understand how pathology affects the eye, it is critical that learners understand the anatomy and physiology of the eye. 5 , 6 Many diagnoses are associated with specific parts of ocular anatomy; 5 , 6 therefore, teaching pathology in an anatomy-based lesson will help learners understand the physiology. This lesson teaches learners about physiology and pathology in a systemic, anatomically oriented way. Educational Objectives By the end of this session the participant will be able to: Describe basic anatomy of the eye. Build a basic model of the eye. Identify which diseases are associated with which parts of the eye. Identify the pathophysiology behind diseases of the eye. Name correct treatment for each disease. Educational Methods The “build your own eye” lesson was taught as a classic team-based learning (cTBL) exercise. The modality of TBL with hands-on construction of an eye allow for social learning, competition and spatial learning related to anatomy. The creation of an eye allows residents to fully understand ocular anatomy which is not as evident when a two-dimensional paper image is used. Some learners need tactical stimuli for better understanding. This aspect of the exercise was focused on using alternative modalities to enhance spatial learning. These concepts are reinforced by the GRAT and IRAT portions of the exercise which tend to multiple choice learners. The fill-in the-blank aspect of the exercise requires recall and research to match the three-dimensional eye parts with pathology. Research Methods Learners were given the opportunity to complete an anonymous survey. Verbal feedback was also obtained from learners during the lesson. The survey asked learners questions about the effectiveness and value of the exercise, whether the content was applicable to work in the emergency department, whether this exercise should be kept as a part of...
