OPHTHALMIC PHYSICIANS

Clinical features of diabetic patients referred by general physicians due to less ophthalmic examinations

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical features of patients with type 2 diabetes, and less ophthalmic examinations, referred by general physicians to ophthalmologists. METHODS The medical charts of 327 patients with type 2 diabetes referred to our department from general physicians were reviewed. A detailed medical history was taken and a complete ophthalmic examin...

Design- Descriptive study Animals- 12 short haired “Tomcats” weighted about 3.9± 0.9 Kg no e general and optic disease in clinical, paraclinical and ophthalmoscopic examinations. Pr...

Ophthalmic Ultrasound

In 1956, Mundt and Hughes used an A-scan on an intraocular tumor, demonstrating the possible use of ultrasound in ophthalmology. Soon a body of research developed on the sound velocities of various tissues and compartments of the eye, and in the 1960s, ultrasound began to be used to measure distances in the eye. B-scan instruments developed in the 1970s, were originally used through closed eyel...

Ophthalmic Pterygium

Pterygia are common ocular surface lesions thought to originate from limbal stem cells altered by chronic UV exposure. Traditionally regarded as a degenerative condition, pterygia also display tumor-like features, such as a propensity to invade normal tissue and high recurrence rates following resection, and may coexist with secondary premalignant lesions. This study was initiated to determine ...
