Comparative Study
Screening for sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy: comparison of fundus photography with automated color contrast threshold test.
To compare tritan contrast threshold (TCT) with fundus photography in screening for sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR), before significant visual loss. ⋯ The TCT assessment is an effective and clinically viable technique, in comparison with fundus photography, to screen for STDR among a diabetic population. Additionally, our results also showed that combining the TCT test with fundus photography greatly increases the performance of screening for STDR.

Case Reports
Three cases of intraocular foreign bodies as a result of walking or running along roadways.
To report three cases of intraocular foreign bodies resulting from walking or running along roadways. ⋯ We hypothesize these intraocular foreign bodies were projected from the road surface with sufficient energy to penetrate the globe. Intraocular foreign bodies may result from simply walking or running along roadways.
