Eye and Ear Infirmary http://www.visionmonday.com/scene-and-heard/todays-read/article/a-newer-faster-way-to-diagnose-and-treat-eye-stroke-at-mount-sinais-ny-eye-and-ear-infirmary/ Fri, 16 Feb 2024 08:30:00 -0400 NEW YORK—Eye stroke, or central retinal artery occlusion, happens when the main artery that supplies blood to the retina is blocked, typically by a clot, depriving the retina of oxygen. Often categorized by painless, sudden loss of vision in one eye, it is similar to a stroke in the brain and can lead to permanent vision loss if the clot is not dissolved as soon as possible. At <a href="https://www.nyee.edu/" target="_blank">New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai</a> (NYEE), though, ophthalmologists have created a novel protocol to rapidly diagnose eye stroke and expedite care to prevent this potentially irreversible vision loss. Based on a recent study, the protocol describes using high-resolution retinal imaging in the emergency room along with rapid remote consultation to confirm diagnosis and expedite care. http://www.visionmonday.com/scene-and-heard/todays-read/article/a-newer-faster-way-to-diagnose-and-treat-eye-stroke-at-mount-sinais-ny-eye-and-ear-infirmary/ Special Registration Price for 2024 VM Leadership Summit Is Available Through Feb. 21 http://www.visionmonday.com/vm-events/vm-summit/features/article/special-registration-price-for-2024-vm-leadership-summit-is-available-through-feb-21/ Fri, 16 Feb 2024 00:27:00 -0400 NEW YORK—A special registration price is now available for the live, in-person 2024 Vision Monday Leadership Summit, taking place on Wednesday, March 13, just ahead of Vision Expo East here.
