Background Uveitis, a sight-threatening ocular inflammatory state, is associated with autoimmune diseases and systemic inflammation. This prolonged inflammation may cause plaque formation in coronary arteries, subsequently resulting acute syndrome (ACS). Methods retrospective, population-based study (15-year period) used the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database based on National Research Taiwan. Chi-square Student’s t-tests were to examine differences between comparison cohorts for...

Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, primarily affects retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). This review dives into the anatomy RGC subtypes, covering different underlying theoretical mechanisms that lead to susceptibility in glaucoma, including mechanical, vascular, excitotoxicity, and neurotrophic factor deficiency, as well oxidative stress inflammation. Furthermore, we examined numerous imaging methods functional assessments gain insight health. Finally, investigated...

Background Blepharitis is a common eye disorder that may be overlooked by patients and clinical practitioners. The symptoms of blepharitis often manifest as irritation, burning sensation, grittiness, itchiness decrease visual acuity if not treated promptly. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), cause blepharitis, believed to associated with increased inflammatory marker levels disrupt the composition lipids produced sebaceous glands in eyelids ultimately tear film instability. Methods This...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) administration attenuates N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated excitotoxic retinal damage in Wistar rats. survival rate ganglion cells (RGCs) were investigated by flat mount analysis and flow cytometry. A total 125 male rats randomly assigned five groups: negative control, NMDA80 (i.e., 80 nmoles NMDA intravitreally injected), + 10ng EPO, 50ng 250ng EPO. EPO treatment group used evaluate various administrated...

Preoperative embolization of brain tumors has been widely used to minimize hemorrhaging during surgery, but anastomosis between vessels is sometimes overlooked and complications can occur. Herein we describe a case rare central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) posterior ciliary after the middle meningeal artery.A 48-year-old woman experienced acute, painless loss vision in her left eye for meningioma.The patient was diagnosed with CRAO based on indirect ophthalmoscopy, optical computed...

Purpose To analyze the association between glucosamine (GlcN) use and risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using claims data from National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Methods A retrospective, population-based study was conducted with NHIRD a 14-year period (2000–2013). Chi-squared Student’s t-tests were used to evaluate differences comparison cohorts for categorical continuous variables, respectively. Risk factors disease development examined by adjusted hazard...

Background: Refractory meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a prevalent condition characterized by chronic functional abnormalities of the glands, leading to altered tear film and ocular discomfort despite medical treatments. Traditional management strategies include various single-modality treatments, although there growing interest in efficacy combined therapies. Aim: The aim this study was evaluate regimens used individually combination for treatment refractory MGD. Methods: This...

To present a case of anterior capsular contraction syndrome with hyperopic shift two weeks after an uncomplicated combined cataract surgery and pars plana vitrectomy.A 55-year-old man, no known risk factors, who developed vitrectomy. Hyperopic was caused by posterior displacement the intraocular lens flexion haptics. Manual peeling capsule using can-opener approach microscissors successfully restored vision corrected refractive errors.Anterior is complication to be affected zonular weakness,...

Familial retinal arteriolar tortuosity (fRAT) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that characterized by of the second- and third-order arterioles around posterior pole retina. Most cases with fRAT lack associated systemic vascular abnormality. Situs inversus, congenital anomaly, features emergence vessels from optic nerve head in nasal direction, usually occurs bilaterally. In this case report, authors describe unique unilateral situs inversus. [ Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina ....

Abstract Rationale: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one the major leading causes childhood visual morbidity worldwide. Retinal break and traction develop in regressed ROP can further result rhegmatogenous or tractional retinal detachment years even decades later. Patient concerns: Here, we reported a case bilateral related late complication 36-year-old male with chief complaint increased floaters his left eye. Diagnoses: The fundus examination showed demarcation lines over temporal side...
