The subfocus in this issue of Modern Optometry might look a little different from our standard lineup of articles, but this was intentional. Rather than present a handful of articles covering one specific topic from various angles, we thought we’d try something new.
We’ve all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. In the following pages, six optometrists submitted photo essays, not all on one particular disease state or topic, but instead on a theme—that of The Eye After … uveal melanoma, after intracranial hypertension, after cataract surgery, and other ocular ailments. They let the photos do the talking and offer only the basic facts. (The images below are extras from the photo essays that we didn’t have room to include.)
Typically, the images that accompany our articles are rather small, only a couple of inches wide at most. We seldom have a chance to see these images at substantial size, aside from the occasional supplement cover. Why not take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this complex organ, which, although highly resilient, can also be exceedingly fragile? That was the simple thought behind this short photo essay series. We hope you enjoy it.
