This chapter in the Oxford Handbook of General Practice explores ophthalmology in general practice. It covers assessment of the eye, eye trauma, eye pain, papilloedema, and orbital disease. It examines lid disease, blepharitis, tear duct problems, red eye, conjunctivitis, and corneal, scleral and uveal disease. It discusses visual field loss and blindness, sudden loss of vision in one eye, gradual loss of vision, glaucoma, and cataract. It also explores refraction errors, squint, contact lenses, and drugs for the eye.

We present a case of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) associated with ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenosis, in a patient who presented with sudden loss of vision. This patient underwent a carotid endarterectomy and reported both subjective and objective improvement in vision in the immediate postoperative period and a complete resolution of symptoms at 6 weeks follow-up. This case raises the question of a new indication for carotid endarter-ectomy in selected cases of NAION.

✓ The unusual complication of sudden ipsilateral loss of vision following alcohol block of the infraorbital nerve for tic douloureux is described and the possible physiopathology discussed. The author believes that spasm of the central retinal artery was the cause and that repeated injections may have been a predisposing factor. Review of other cases reported shows that the loss of vision has been attributed to embolization of injected agents via collateral blood vessels.
