A survey of 408 patients with glaucoma shows that younger age is a predictor for anxiety, while older age and increasing glaucoma severity were risk factors for depression. The authors believe it’s essential for physicians to provide patients with appropriate psychological care as well as ophthalmological care to prevent them from developing anxiety and depression.

As expected, a 27 percent reduction in payments is included in the proposed 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule released today by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The cut is due to continuation of the flawed sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula. Ongoing, SGR-driven uncertainty will continue into the upcoming elections. If the SGR cut is halted as in past years, ophthalmology payments in general would increase by 1 percent in 2013, according to CMS.

This was the first population-based study on periocular infantile hemangiomas in the United States. Over the 40-year period analyzed, the incidence was 1 in 1,586 live births and was most prevalent in white females with unilateral upper eyelid involvement. One in 5 had a history of maternal infertility, and 1 in 8 were born prematurely. Nine (21%) had an additional hemangioma outside the periocular region. Archives of Ophthalmology, July 2012
