One of the most recent and promising theoretical hypotheses for compensation of persistent asymmetry of dynamic vestibulo-ocular gain is sensory substitution. As a switch between oculomotor and vestibulo-ocular systems, saccadic eye movements are engaged in humans to compensate the angular displacement of the head towards the labyrinthine defective side thus preserving the foveal fixation of th...

two basic and clinical researches accomplished during the recent years on embryonic and adult stem cells constituted a mutation in regenerative therapy. these cells can be used for treating some degenerative diseases. between them, age-related functional defects, hematopoietic and immune system disorders, heart failures, chronic liver injuries, diabetes, parkinson’s and alzheimer’s diseases, ar...

Aims: To report a rare case of foveoschisis caused by vitreomacular traction in young emmetropic female patient.
 Presentation the Case: A 37-year-old woman, without any systemic or ocular disorders, presented with progressively reduced visual acuity her right eye over last 3 months. Best-corrected (BCVA) was counting fingers eye. Optical coherence tomography revealed foveal detachment eye...

The saccadic eye movement related potentials (SEMRPs) enable to study brain mechanisms of the sensorimotor integration. SEMRPs provide insight into various cognitive mechanisms related to planning, programming, generation and execution of the saccadic eye movements. SEMRPs can be used to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms of several disorders of the central nervous system. Here we shortl...

Article history Received 9 Sep 2015 Accepted 22 Oct 2015 Introduction: The decline of visual function with increasing age is a significant concern in elderly. Despite previous work on prevalence of specific ophthalmic pathologies, there has not been enough valid data about overall eye disorders in Tehran yet, and it is poorly defined and not underpinned by strong evidence. The purpose of this s...

Blindness is an important symptom of many eye disorders. Lopez and Murray have estimated the load of blindness as 23 million for the world and 9 million for India comprising the three major disorders namely cataract, glaucoma and trachoma. The Disability Adjusted Life Years(DALYS) for the major eye disorders has been estimated at 27 million for the world and 7 million for India. Blindness is on...

a variety of nervous system components such as medulla, pons, midbrain, cerebellum, basal ganglia, parietal, frontal and occipital lobes have role in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (emdr) processes. the eye movement is done simultaneously for attracting client's attention to an external stimulus while concentrating on a certain internal subject. eye movement guided by therap...

introduction: until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. in recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. material and methods: in this article, some of these models are considered. they incl...

Diabetics in the developing nations are unlikely to report for eye check except they have poor vision. This study was aimed to determine the types of eye disorders among diabetics seen at a tertiary eye clinic in Nigeria. Semi structured questionnaire were administered to obtain demographic parameters, duration of DM diagnosis, type of hypoglycemic drug and document eye findings after detailed ...
