		The definition of primary ocular tuberculosis (TB) has varied: some authors have used it to describe ocular disease in the absence of systemic involvement, while others take it to describe disease in which the eye is the initial port of entry of the mycobacterium into the body.
		Secondary ocular tuberculosis is defined as ocular involvement as a result of seeding by hematogenous spread from a distant site, or direct invasion from adjacent areas, like the sinus or cranial cavity.
		Ocular tuberculosis manifestations are the same as in immunocompetent patients, and disseminated choroiditis is the most commonly cited manifestation.

	Ocular Hypertension
		Ocular hypertension should not be considered a disease by itself.
		Instead, ocular hypertension is a term that is used to describe individuals who should be observed more closely than the general population for the onset of glaucoma.
		Ocular hypertension is 10-15 times more likely to occur than primary open-angle glaucoma, a common form of glaucoma.

		Ocular hypertension occurs when the intraocular pressure in your eyes is above the normal range, but it has not yet affected your vision or damaged the structure of your eyes.
		Because ocular hypertension has no outward symptoms, people over the age of 40 and those in a high-risk category for glaucoma should have their pressure checked every year.
		Although ocular hypertension in itself is not sight threatening, if pressure within the eye builds to the point where it damages the optic nerve (glaucoma), eyesight can be permanently damaged.

	NOAH — Ocular Albinism
		Ocular albinism in an inherited condition in which the eyes lack melanin pigment, while the skin and hair show normal or near-normal coloration.
		With ocular albinism, the color of the iris of the eye may vary from blue to green or even brown, and sometimes darkens with age.
		With ocular albinism, the fovea does not develop completely, presumably because melanin pigment is needed for the growth processes that normally occur before birth.

		Age is an independent risk factor for many causes of vision loss, and all elderly people should be screened for ocular disorders at least once a year.
		Atherosclerotic risk factors contribute to many ocular disorders; strict control of these factors (including smoking cessation) may halt progression of some disorders.
		Ocular disorders commonly affecting the elderly include cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, vascular and eyelid disorders, diplopia, and dry eyes.

	Ocular Hypertension
		Ocular hypertension is an elevation of the pressure in the eye above the range considered normal with no detectable changes in vision or damage to the structures of the eye.
		Unfortunately you cannot tell if you are developing ocular hypertension or glaucoma because they do not have any symptoms such as pain, a feeling of pressure in or around the eye or changes in vision.
		Ocular hypertension and glaucoma can only be diagnosed through a series of tests, including a measurement of your eye’s pressure and an examination of the inner structures of the eyes.

	Ocular Immunology and Uveitis - New York Eye & Ear Infirmary
		Paul Latkany, M.D. Michael Samson, M.D. The mission of the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Service is threefold: to provide outstanding outpatient care in the management of ocular inflammatory disease; comprehensive training of the residents in the management of these complex disorders; and last, increasing general understanding of ocular inflammatory disease by scientific investigations.

	Frequency of Ocular Examinations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The frequency of ocular examinations should be based on the presence of visual abnormalities and/or the probability of visual abnormalities developing.
		If significant ocular disease is detected, the frequency of examination will depend on the severity of the condition, the response to therapy (or surgery), and the potential for detecting progression of the abnormality.
		The frequency of ocular examinations in the presence of acute or chronic disease will vary widely, with intervals ranging from hours to several months, depending on the risks encountered, response to treatment, and potential for the disease to progress.
