Allison is 64 years old and has a past medical history of hypothyroidism, for which she takes Synthroid, and atopic dermatitis, which she treats with a steroid cream. She has been complaining about haziness and blurred vision, so she was seen for a comprehensive eye exam. The ophthalmologist went over her past medical history and reviewed recent labs he had had her PCP send over. System issues such as hypothyroidsism and steroid medications can affect some eye diseases. After examining her eyes, Allison was diagnosed with a senile nuclear cataract of the left eye. The ophthalmologist discussed her treatment options, such as surgery. Allison scheduled surgery for a cataract extraction the following week.
