People With Chronic Eye Diseases Not
Getting Recommended Eye Exams
People with chronic diseases such as diabetes, glaucoma and
age-related macular degeneration fall far short of having annual eye
examinations. This, according to a study appearing in the October
issue of Ophthalmology, points to the need for new approaches to
enhancing long-term follow-up of those already in the health care
system. Ophthalmology is the clinical journal of the American Academy
of Ophthalmology, the Eye M.D. Association.

FDA Cracks Down On Cosmetic Contacts
The government is cracking down on decorative contact lenses -- from
the wild-eyed Halloween look to lenses imprinted with sports logos --
that are sold without a prescription, calling them illegal products
that could cause blindness.
