Ocular movement scores evaluated at 2, 4, 6, 8 10 mins after injection. Intraoperative postoperative analgesia by verbal pain scores. Duration...

To report the ocular findings of patients with Alport syndrome and results clear lens extraction in this patient group.Twenty-three eyes 15 a diagnosis were included study. Clear corneal phacoemulsification intraocular foldable implantation was performed indeterminate refractive errors and/or poor visual acuity anterior capsule samples analyzed electron microscopy.All had history hereditary nephritis deafness as systemic involvement. Ophthalmologic examination revealed lenticonus high myopia...

Purpose: To report the surgical treatment of a case with epidermolysis bullosa. Methods: A 12-year-old girl dystrophic bullosa presented to our clinic symblepharon connecting lateral half left upper lid temporal quadrant cornea. The central cornea exhibited diffuse opacity and vascularization. Results: During surgery, was lysed, lamellar keratectomy performed. operated portion palpebral conjunctiva covered amniotic membrane promote healing. Fourteen months later, eyelid margin normal eye...

To evaluate the elastic modulus, hardness, and mechanical properties of anterior lens capsule in different types cataract to assess correlation with age.Baskent University Hospital, Department Ophthalmology, Ankara, Turkey.Prospective comparative study.Patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 comprised patients senile cataract, 2 had pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome, dye-enhanced surgery. The capsules analyzed using a nanoindentation device. Young's modulus elasticity was measured by...

To assess and compare contrast sensitivity function in the previously amblyopic non-amblyopic "normal" eyes of patients with microtropia anisometropia who achieved 20/20 visual acuity after occlusion therapy.Contrast was tested monocularly on both 34 successfully treated microtropic 15 anisometropic subjects (visual eyes). Contrast evaluated by CSV-1000E age-matched nomograms were used (spatial frequencies 3, 6, 12, 18 cycles per degree [cpd]) for comparison.The mean age 11.2±1.3 years...

Fabry's disease is associated with high incidence of thrombosis in hemizygous males and heterozygous females. We describe a woman who developed hemi-central retinal vein occlusion during the follow-up. The showed fulminant course ending painful blind eye within short period. should be considered differential diagnosis vascular occlusive disorders especially young patients.

Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by retinal dystrophy, obesity, mental retardation, distal limb anomaly, hypogonadism, and renal dysfunction. The symptoms vary among families even affected siblings. Certain clinical signs have been used to identify subgroups of patients with this complex condition. Laurence-Moon syndrome as a distinct entity rare features paraplegia in the absence polydactyly or obesity. Bardet-Biedl involvement, but...

Introduction: Malformations of the cerebellum have been well-known to coexist with abnormalities oculomotor system. Rhombencephalosynapsis (RES) is a rare malformation unknown etiology in which vermis hypoplastic and two cerebellar hemispheres are fused. The type disorders associated RES not well documented literature. Here, cases presented.Case 1: A 15-year-old girl presented large-angle infantile esotropia inferior oblique overaction. Slow (3 4 cps) rhythmic anteroposterior oscillation...

To evaluate the efficacy of different concentrations triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on retinal endothelial cell proliferation in a retinopathy prematurity (ROP) mouse model.A total 24 C57BL/J6 mice were exposed to 75% oxygen from postnatal day 7 12. On 12, 10 (group B) injected with 20 microg intravitreal TA (IVTA) and 14 C) 40 IVTA one eye. The contralateral eyes isotonic saline (control group = A). Four non-exposed served as negative controls D). killed 17 removed for quantitative analysis...

Focal orbital amyloidosis is a rare entity and little known about its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. In this case report, features of focal presenting as mass have been documented together with histopathological findings. On MRI, well-defined was seen isointense rectus muscle on T1-weighted images heterogeneously hypointense T2-weighted images. Punctuate calcifications were observed the computerized tomography (CT) examination.

Background The purpose of the study was to determine impact slime-producing strains coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) on non-ulcerative blepharitis. Formerly considered harmless organisms, CNS are now recognised as opportunistic pathogens. Although these microorganisms a component normal conjunctival flora, they often produce typical signs and symptoms chronic staphylococcal blepharoconjunctivitis. Certain polysaccharide extracellular material called “slime”. Slime production is be...

PURPOSE The success of any specific occlusion regimen is limited by the level concordance, which difficult to measure accurately in patching treatment. aim this study was investigate prospectively concordance rate a group children with strabismic and/or anisometropic amblyopia using schematic diary based on completing ‘smiley’ images, filled child under parental supervision, and assess effect correlates such as initial visual acuity, age, total daily time concordance. METHODS We recruited 51...
