A 59-year-old woman had a 1-year history of right vision loss. Her visual acuity was then 0.01 OD, and the critical flicker frequency (CFF) was 8 Hz OD. Goldmann perimetry examination showed inferior suppression of the right visual field center. Funduscopic examination revealed normal coloring of the right optic disc. Imaging studies showed an apical oval tumor. The optic nerve was compressed b...

Dear Editor, The recent report you published on the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate dengue was very interesting [1]. Rhee and Han [1] concluded that “Follow-up examination of individuals with dengue fever and associated visual impairment should involve the use of OCT to evaluate visual acuity and visual field change.” In fact, the ocular complications of dengue are typical...

We describe the electrophysiological findings on visual pathway examination in a 54-year-old female patient who suffered loss of acuity without cause clinical examination. The picture followed case Severe Pneumonia Secondary to Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection that required admission Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for High-Flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy (HFO).

PURPOSE To evaluate two techniques for treatment of large submacular hemorrhages resulting from choroidal neovascularization associated with age-related macular degeneration. METHODS Retrospective consecutive case series of 42 eyes of 42 patients who presented with submacular hemorrhages of at least 12 disc areas associated with visual loss of 3 months or less duration. One of two treatments ...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS Mice are used for modelling the biology of many human diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Mouse models recapitulate many aspects of human disease and are invaluable tools for studying the biology, treatment and prevention of CRC. Unlike humans, many mouse models develop lesions primarily in the small intestine, which necessitates removal and examination of this o...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of posterior residual stroma on visual function after unsuccessful anwar's deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk). methoods: in this parallel historical cohort, visual acuity and refractive status were evaluated after descemetic dalk (group 1) and compared with those of pre-descemetic dalk (group 2). results: one hundred and ten keratoconic eyes were enr...

Purpose In the paper, we describe and discuss the results of epidemiological studies concerning myopia carried out in Poland. Materials and Methods Results from the examination of 5601 Polish school children and students (2688 boys and 2913 girls) aged 6 to 18 years were analyzed. The mean age was 11.9 ± 3.2 years. Every examined student had undergone the following examinations: distance visu...

purpose: to evaluate the ability to predict visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in patients with pseudophakic or aphakic corneal edema (pce or ace). methods: medical records of 34 patients (34 eyes) who underwent pkp for pce or ace during 1994-2004 in ahvaz were retrospectively analyzed for variables in the history and ocular examination before pkp and visual outcome after pkp. ...
