Various infectious diseases lead to different forms of optic neuropathy, resulting in visual impairments varying severity. In cases suspected diagnosis relies on epidemiological data, medical history, systemic symptoms, and the pattern ocular findings. Diagnosis is confirmed by clinical presentation, serological tests, polymerase chain reaction. The treatment neuropathies typically involves use antimicrobial drugs targeting specific pathogen and/or corticosteroids suppress associated...

Objective: To describe the clinical efficiency of transluminal Nd:YAG laser embolysis (TYE) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as an off-label combined treatment for branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) with visible emboli. Methods: A 77-year-old woman had a history seeing "shadow" in lower visual field left eye three days. Platelet-fibrin embolus at arterial bifurcation was disintegrated by TYE technique patient referred to HBO 20 sessions. Results: One week after treatment, best-corrected...

The aim of the study is to compare measurements central corneal thickness (CCT) performed by two examiners with four different methods at times inter- and intra-individually.Thirty healthy people were included in study. In these measurements, an optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR), optic coherence tomography (OCT), a specular microscopy (SM), topography (CT) used. Two consecutive manner. After 1-7 days first second again consecutively. mean three was taken each session for all...

AIM: To characterize the phenylephrine test in aponeurotic and congenital eyelid ptosis, to determine appropriate timing of test, assess responses upper lower eyelids. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis 140 eyes 87 patients (mean age 52.29±16.45y; 22 males, 65 females) with ptosis. Totally 88.6% had 11.4% For evaluation eyelids topical 2.5% phenylephrine, scleral show height, marginal reflex distance (MRD) between inferior margin pupillary light (MRD1), central portion (MRD2) were...

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections for treatment diabetic macular edema (DME) in eyes with and without previous vitrectomy. medical records 28 (11 vitrectomized 17 nonvitrectomized) patients (mean age, 59.0 ± 9.6 years; male female ratio 1 : 1) who were diagnosed DME had received IVR reviewed retrospectively. indications vitrectomy 11 hemorrhage ( n = 8) epiretinal membrane 3). best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central...

Objective To assess the biometric features of keratoconic eyes using Lenstar LS900 and Pentacam systems relative to healthy myopic eyes. Materials Methods Seventy-three subjects 83 control were enrolled. evaluate reproducibility devices’ measurements, keratometric readings [in flattest meridian (Kf), in steepest (Ks), mean (Km)], central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) obtained both systems. Axial length lens (LT) measured by Lenstar. The compatibility between two...

Abstract Background: To compare the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections for treatment diabetic macular edema (DME) in eyes with and without previous vitrectomy. Methods: The medical records 30 (13 vitrectomized, 17 nonvitrectomized) 28 patients (mean age, 59.09.6 years; male to female ratio 1:1) who were diagnosed DME had received IVR reviewed retrospectively. best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central thickness (CMT), total volume (TMV) measured at baseline months...

To evaluate the effect of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on choroidal structural changes vascularity index (CVI) in patients with OSAS.Choroidal OSAS immediately after diagnosis 12 months CPAP treatment were evaluated compared healthy controls. The images enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) binarized into luminal area (LA) stromal (SA) using ImageJ software. CVI was calculated as ratio LA to total...

Abstract Background: To compare the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections for treatment diabetic macular edema (DME) in eyes with and without previous vitrectomy.
