One of the things Luis Trujillo, OD wants his optometry students to learn is that they can do a lot to help their patients without saying a word. That is particularly relevant for students at Salus University who are rotating through the Optometry Service at the Norristown Regional Health Center (NRHC) in Norristown, Pennsylvania, because the patient population at the center, part of the Delaware Valley Community Health System, is primarily Hispanic, and not all students speak Spanish.

When Carlo Pelino, OD, FAAO, was an undergraduate at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania, he wasn’t sure what field of healthcare he wanted to pursue. As it turned out, it was actually James Caldwell, OD, EdD, now dean of Student Affairs at Salus University and also an alum of Gannon University that helped influence the direction Dr. Pelino's career path would take.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of the eye called the optic nerve. It is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization. In the most common form, there are virtually no symptoms. Vision loss begins with peripheral or side vision, so if you have glaucoma, you may not notice anything until significant vision is lost.
