Immunizations
Infection of the mother with rubella or German measles in the first three months of her pregnancy remains the leading known cause of infant or congenital cataracts, despite immunizations against the disease. Heredity is the second most common cause followed by drug abuse.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Although the incidence of cataracts is five times as high and glaucoma is twice as high in diabetics, it is the effect of diabetes on the retina that causes the most damage. The retina lines the inside of the eye and is the actual "seeing" part of the eye.
Ophthalmology
Doctor Mallory is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, and is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the Oklahoma Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Medical Association, and the Oklahoma State Medical Society.
Cataracts
Doctor Mallory has written numerous articles for the Daily Oklahoman over the years regarding the health of your eyes. They have covered ranged of topics including cataracts, diabetes, and the general functioning of our eyesight. The following is a sample of some of Doctor Mallory's writings. You are welcome to read any of them, and feel free to contact Doctor Mallory with any questions you might have.
Cataract Surgery
Thank you for taking the time to visit the web site of David B. Mallory, M.D. Doctor Mallory is an ophthalmic surgeon, specializing in cataract and intraocular lens surgery. He attended the University of Michigan Medical School, was a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy for two years, and then was a resident at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia for three years. After residency, Dr. Mallory did a fellowship for two years in cataract surgery with Doctor James Little in Oklahoma City. At that time Drs. Little and Mallory were the only doctors performing the new modern cataract surgery in the southwest United States. Doctor Mallory then joined Dr. Little in the sub-specialty of cataract and intraocular lens surgery at the Southwest Eye Clinic in Oklahoma City. Doctor Mallory has specialized in cataract surgery for 40 years. He has performed more than 25,000 cataract operations, doing 30 to 40 operations weekly. Dr. Mallory sees patients five days a week, Monday through Friday, at the Southwest Eye Clinic.
Eye Exam
The earliest stages of learning disabilities can often be detected at age 3. It is important that all children have a thorough eye examination to rule out and treat any eye problems. It is most unlikely, however, that the eyes would be the sole cause. The diagnosis of dyslexia involves educational and psychological evaluation.

Ultrasound
The introduction of ultrasound to remove cataracts through a one-eighth-inch incision revolutionized the surgical treatment of cataracts in both children and adults.
MRI
Bleeding in shaken baby syndrome (SBS) occurs not only in and around the brain, but in the eyes as well, especially in the retina that lines the inside of the eye and is the actual "seeing" part of the eye. These hemorrhages occur in up to 80 percent of shaken babies and in 70-100 percent of children dying of SBS. It has also been shown that the severity of the retinal hemorrhages can be a reliable predictor of the degree of brain damage. Retinal hemorrhages may even come before any brain injury can be detected on C-T scan or MRI imaging. A child with convulsions and lethargy may have as the only objective finding of shaken baby syndrome hemorrhages in the retinas of the eyes.

Whiplash
The head of an infant or young child is disproportionately larger and heavier than the rest of his or her body, but the neck muscles are weak and undeveloped. Severe shaking of a child age five or under, but especially in the first year of life, causes the brain to smash or whiplash back and forth against the skull. It is estimated that the force on a shaken baby's brain is 30 times the force of gravity. Fighter pilots black out at less than one-third of that force.
