Abstract Background Several previous studies reported a greater prevalence of dry eye syndrome (DES) among patients with psychiatric diseases. The aim this study is to investigate the and risk factors DES in disorders (PD) using nationwide population-based data Taiwan. Methods This cohort retrospectively identified PD from 1997 2011. Patients both served as cohort, without comprised non-DES cohort. was defined diagnosis (ICD-9-CM 290–319) made by psychiatrists only, at least three...
To evaluate the efficacy of supratarsal triamcinolone injection in treatment superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK).Forty eyes 20 patients were diagnosed with SLK. All long-standing severe ocular irritation unresponsive to topical steroid and artificial tears treated addition ongoing dry eye. Objective tarsal conjunctiva inflammation, bulbar conjunctiva, cornea staining, subjective symptom gradings performed before after 2 weeks therapy. underwent laboratory evaluations underlying...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> In normal tension glaucoma (NTG), factors other than elevated intraocular pressure are likely to have a role in the pathogenesis of optic neuropathy. Recent studies or retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) reveal that cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is linked and may regulate RGC survival death. The IL-6 (-174) G allele has also been shown increase protein. We hypothesized polymorphism be predisposing genetic factor affecting severity glaucoma. aim...
Genotype imputation is a commonly used technique that infers un-typed variants into study's genotype data, allowing better identification of causal in disease studies. However, due to overrepresentation Caucasian studies, there's lack understanding genetic basis health-outcomes other ethnic populations. Therefore, facilitating missing key-predictor-variants can potentially improve risk health-outcome prediction model, specifically for Asian ancestry, utmost relevance.We aimed construct an...
Background Factors other than intraocular pressure are likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, particularly individuals with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Recent laboratory evidence has shown that there potential similarities between Alzheimer disease and NTG cellular apoptosis leading neurodegeneration. IL-1α (−889) T allele polymorphism been found increase risk developing disease. The aim this study was test Chinese cohort hypothesis is associated NTG....
To report the clinical course of a rare case bilateral herpetic linear endotheliitis.A 70-year-old man presented with circumferential bullous edema stromal progressing centrally in left cornea and sensorineural hearing impairment simultaneously. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) IgM antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) were tested for, aqueous humor from both eyes was examined separately using polymerase chain reaction for presence HSV1 DNA.Serum antibody titers positive. In...

Purpose: To report a rare case of interface abscess 3 years after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Method: Observational report. We described 24-year-old man who had history uneventful corneal flap surgery and presented with abscess. Results: The was lifted irrigated antibiotic solution. Pathology the showed scant viable epithelial cells cell debris. Upon microbiological investigation, microorganism isolated Staphylococcus epidermidis. It is postulated that injury or hypoxia could...
Purpose: To report the clinical findings and management of a case way in which mosquito style penetrates into corneal stroma anterior chamber. Method: Observational report. Results: A 20-year-old young girl complained severe eye pain blurred vision resulting from an insect flying her left while riding motorcycle. On examination, visual acuity was hand motion. There retained body incarcerated cornea penetrated It removed on day trauma identified as Culicidae (mosquito). The showed diffuse...
Purpose: To report an extremely rare case of subconjunctival herniated orbital fat and grafted after autogenous graft.Method: A report.Results: 51 year-old non-obese female suffered from redness several masses in the right eye over upper temporal lower areas. The were noted grafting abdomen to periorbital hollows. ocular examination revealed multiple yellow conjunctival injection. Excision pad was done one year graft surgery. histopathology fatty tissue lipogranuloma formation with...

Methods This cohort retrospectively identified PD from 1997 2011. main outcome measures were these associated factors. Results A total 75,650 (3,665 71,985 non-DES cohort) included final analysis. majority group women (72.6%)....
