Purpose: To investigate the effects of combined orbital bone and fat decompression on intraocular pressure (IOP) superior ophthalmic vein blood flow velocity (SOV-BFV), their association with clinical features Graves orbitopathy (GO).Methods: During 2002–2008 period, 72 eyes 36 GO cases demonstrating moderate to severe were evaluated according as: or without dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), underwent decompression. A control group comprised 40 20 healthy subjects. In both groups, a full...

Vitiligo is a disease characterized by depigmented macules and patches that occur as result of the loss functional melanocytes from affected skin through mechanism which has not been elucidated yet. Destruction pigment cells in vitiligo may remain limited to skin; eyelashes, iris, ciliary body, choroid, retinal epithelium meninges also be affected. This study aims compare choroidal thickness patients with without using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Spectral-domain (SD-OCT) (Retina Scan...

Purpose: To investigate the role of innate immunity in ocular rosacea.Methods: Thirty-two patients with rosacea (group-1) and 28 healthy volunteers (group-2) who served as controls were enrolled study. Tear function parameters assessed, conjunctival impression cytology was performed tear samples collected. Human-neutrophil-peptides (HNP) 1–3 human-beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) levels measured tears by using ELISA tests. Cathelicidin leucin-leucin-37 (LL-37), hBD-2, human-beta-defensin-9 (hBD-9)...

In this report, we are presenting a case in which have split the paramedian forehead flap, thus providing 2 axially perfused skin flaps for simultaneous reconstruction of upper and lower lid structures after resection basal cell carcinoma from left medial canthal area. We found that flap seems to be favorable option eyelid defects by enabling nicely vascularized abundant amount regional skin.

Aim . To describe a case of branch retinal artery occlusion following dental extraction and to point out the ophthalmic complications procedures ophthalmologists dentists. Case A 51-year-old woman was referred our clinic with painless sudden visual loss in her left eye after tooth two days ago. In best corrected acuity 6/30 fundus examination revealed peripapillary flame-shaped hemorrhages pale retina upper temporal arcuate. The right unremarkable. Conclusion Dental can lead miscellaneous...

To assess corneal endothelial cell changes after intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant (Ozurdex®) injection in patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Twenty-two eyes of 22 were assessed prospectively 0.7 mg DEX injection. healthy volunteers served as control group. Corneal parameters including density (ECD), coefficient variation size (CV), percentage hexagonality (Hex) and central thickness (CCT) analyzed before 1 3 months by specular microscopy. The...

Objective: To determine possible associations between long-term HCQ use and corneal changes in patients who used for at least 3 years. Materials methods: The study included 62 healthy controls consecutive the treatment of rheumatologic disease were referred to ophthalmology department August 2018 November retinal toxicity screening. Central thickness (CCT), endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient variation (CV) size, percentage hexagonal cells (HEX%) measured evaluate cornea. Results:...

Preseptal cellulitis can be caused by multiple factors, common ones being paranasal sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection, acute or chronic otitis, dental abscess and ocular trauma.1 The presenting clinical signs are swelling, pain redness of the peri-orbital tissues. A 5-year-old girl was admitted to us with complaints painful swelling erythema left eyelid a nodular lesion. child had tested negative for HIV-1 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, this confirmed Western blot test. She...

Purtscher’s retinopathy is a microvascular occlusive disease initially described as retinal edema, cotton wool-like exudation, and hemorrhages occurring after severe head trauma. A similar clinical presentation called Purtscher-like associated with systemic diseases instead of In the present case, ophthalmic eksamination patient complaints blurred vision related to substance (Bonzai) use revealed bilateral cotton-wool spots. was diagnosed based on fluorescein angiography optical coherence...

AIM: To evaluate the safety of hydroimplantation in cataract surgery patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. METHODS: This prospective randomized study comprised 100 eyes consecutive who underwent and implantation foldable intraocular lens (IOL). Each eye was assigned to group 1 or 2. Hydroimplantation without using viscoelastic agent as (n=50), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (Eyevisc, Biotech, India) used 2 (n=50). RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences central corneal...

To evaluate the effect of brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination on intraocular pressure (IOP) after cataract surgery.The study included 92 eyes 87 patients who underwent surgery and lens implantation. Patients scheduled for phacoemulsification were assigned to 1 2 groups. The treatment group received drop immediately surgery, control no treatment. IOP was measured preoperatively at 2h 24h postoperatively.The mean change lower in than postoperatively. difference between values two groups...

To assess corneal and conjunctival sensitivity in rosacea patients.A total of 55 patients with 37 control subjects participated the study. Corneal was determined by Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometer. Subjective symptoms ocular dryness were evaluated using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Schirmer's I test (ST), tear breakup time (tBUT) surface staining fluorescein carried out to measure objective signs.The mean did not differ significantly between controls (all p > 0.05). tBUT reduced (p =...

In Brief A 13-year-old girl presented with a history of slowly enlarging, mobile, right lower eyelid mass 2 years' duration. Excisional biopsy revealed the characteristic histopathologic features schwannoma. After complete excision, there was no recurrence at 1-year follow-up. Schwannoma is rare tumor, appearing sporadically and in solitary form, which should be considered differential diagnosis tumors children. Diagnostic management tumor (schwannoma) child are discussed.
