Abstract

Case study Henry, 60 years of age, was referred by his general practitioner with a 3 month history of blurred vision in the left eye on a background of decreasing vision in both eyes over the preceding 6 months. He had not had his eyes examined for many years. His past medical history included hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic renal impairment and peripheral vascular disease. Henry admitted to noncompliance with his medications and medical appointments.
