Roth and Roth-like spots are white-centered retinal hemorrhages that are round, oval or flame-shaped and can be seen in conjunction with a wide variety of systemic conditions.

My journey into neurological dry eye began with the failure of my autonomic nervous system, a condition called dysautonomia.

Not surprisingly, most eye care specialists see dry eye disease as an ocular problem. But what would our treatment strategies look like if we instead approached it as a local manifestation of a systemic problem?

By now, you have undoubtedly heard about the “Y2K problem.” Why are people fearing that computers will break down in the year 2000? Most computers use dates represented by only two digits (i.e., 91 instead of 1991) to save valuable storage space. When the year 2000 rolls around, the computers will incorrectly interpret 00 as 1900 or will refuse to recognize the date at all and shut down. This is commonly called “the Y2K problem” or “the millennium bug.” Time is running short to prepare your office for Y2K.
