Abstract Pterygium is an ocular disease characterised by the growth of fibrovascular conjunctiva on cornea. It occurs more often in men, at older age, and individuals exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Surgical treatment primary for pterygium there are two common procedures excision. In first method, head separated from corneal surface using a surgical blade. The second method based avulsion. Other approaches excising include use argon laser excimer laser. Because high recurrence rate,...

Abstract Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an age related disorder, characterized by abnormal fibrous fiber production and accumulation in different visceral organs as well the eye periocular tissues. Hystological examination recorded presence of pseudoexfoliation conjunctiva, they can disturb accessory lacrimal gland goblet cell function. This explain tear film instability patients with pseudoexfoliations. In our study, we examined stability without pseudoexfoliation, using Schirmer test break...

Introduction/Objective. Vitreal hemorrhage (VH) is one of the possible complications diabetic retinopathy which followed by intensive decrease visual acuity. Corticosteroides are commonly used in treatment different retinal diseases, due to their antiinflammatory and anti-angiogenetic effect. Triamcinolone acetonide applied invtravitreally remains eye for several months, releases its crystals decreases density vitreal hemorrhage. The aim this study was evaluate efficacy 20 mg intravitreal...

Introduction/Objective. Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) is an age-related systemic disorder, which can affect the whole body, as well eye. It characterized by abnormal production and accumulation of pseudoexfoliative material. When present in eye, it cause different difficulties, but most common are PEX glaucoma (XFG) intraoperative postoperative complications cataract surgeries. The aim this study was to determine incidence patients with two regions Serbia. Methods. included 7451 scheduled for...

Introduction/Objective This study evaluates the effects of hemodialysis (HD) on intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular anterior chamber morphometry in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Methods In total, 32 ESRD patients (50 eyes) who were regular HD program, underwent examination. To all them, 30 minutes before after end session, central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometric values (K1, K2), axial length (AL), depth (ACD), lens (LT) measured using Lenstar 900 Haag-Streit USA device...

Background/Aim. One of the postoperative complications phacoemulsification is formation fluid-filled microvacuoles inside implanted intraocular lens (IOL). This condition known as ?glistening?. The aim this study was to determine incidence glistening after implantation three different acrylic IOLs during two-year follow-up period. Methods. Cataract surgery performed in 93 patients (93 eyes) with developed senile cataracts. According IOL, were equally divided into groups: group single-piece...

Introduction/Objective. Dry eye development after phacoemulsification is a very common complication of cataract surgery.
