Cardiology
Every heartbeat tells a story, and cardiologists listen carefully to diagnose, treat, and protect the rhythm of life.
Mr. Thomas, 58, came in requesting a prescription update. He’d noticed blurring in his left eye for a few months. Refraction didn’t improve it. Fundoscopy revealed a swollen optic disc.
I ordered imaging, which revealed a compressive pituitary macroadenoma. He underwent successful transsphenoidal resection.
His vision recovered—and he never underestimated blurry vision again.
The Lesson Learned
Don’t dismiss unexplained vision changes as refractive error. Rule out compressive or neurologic causes—sometimes, new glasses won’t solve it.
