EYE ADVICE: Professional Papers

The following papers were written to bring to the attention of eyecare professionals some important but subtle facts that lie behind two quite common ocular conditions. Section A is concerned with the physiology and clinical implications of meridional (astigmatic) accommodation (MA), and offers to explain why eyecare practitioners have been troubled with the correction of astigmatism for as many years as it is known.

Section B highlights the most important cause of chronic infective conjunctivitis (CIC), i.e. chronic nasal/sinus infection. Nasal hygiene is recommended as the most effective means of preventing CIC and other related infections, which are due to spread of infection from the nasal/sinus areas.
