TITLE: Using Blood Tests and Urinalysis to Assess Systemic Conditions with Ocular Consequences

ABSTRACT: Optometry is a continuously evolving profession. Although our roots are firmly entrenched in refractive care, over the years we have grown to incorporate more and more medical skills into our armamentarium. Today, we are not only responsible for the visual welfare of our patients, we also have the responsibility to detect and help manage systemic disorders that may be suggested by the ocular examination. Uveitis, retinopathy, optic neuropathy these ocular manifestations often portend significant underlying health problems that can only be diagnosed by means of blood and other laboratory tests.
