The purpose of this study was to visualize the actual route of penetration of subconjunctivally injected hydrocortisone into the rabbit eye, and also to determine if lid movement or intraocular inflammation influenced this penetration. Albino rabbits, each with one eye inflamed by an intraoitreal injection of 30 per cent bovine albumin and the other eye normal, were treated with subconjanctival...

Bell's phenomenon is a physiological phenomenon wherein the eye ball involuntarily rolls upward during eyelid closing. Although this phenomenon occurs in healthy individuals, the neural mechanism related to Bell's phenomenon has not yet been identified. We aimed to investigate the brain regions relevant to Bell's phenomenon and volitional eye movement using [15O] H2O and positron emission tomog...

Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) is an autoimmune disorder that usually occurs on sun exposed areas of head and neck. Infrequently it could be presented by palpebral involvement and rarely unilateral upper eye lid edema and erythema have been reported as the sole manifestation of DLE. We describe a 38-year-old woman with chronic left upper eye lid edema and erythema from one year ago which was...

On examination, vision in the right eye was 6/9. There was periorbital edema and tenderness most marked in the lateral upper lid. On lid retraction (Fig. 1) there was localised chemosis, and an enlarged vascular lacrimal swelling with vellow purulent material in the upper temporal fornix. Extreme lateral gaze was slightly limited but there was no fluctuant area in the lid. Systemically he had a...

normal. (iv) Bulbar conjunctiva was quite normal. V the upper fornix a whitish swelling of the size of three-quarter of an inch by half an inch was Been, this swelling became much more marked on everting e upper lid when it was seen extending on the uine spect of the upper lid to about one-quarter of an in? Jove the lid margin and above the limbus. This veiling was cystic in feeling. (vi) Rest ...

Purpose. To analyze the correlations between the ocular surface signs and symptoms in patients with dry eye. Methods. In this observational study, 176 dry eye patients, including 60 males and 116 females, were enrolled and their dry eye symptoms and ocular signs were observed. Partial correlation analysis was conducted between OSDI score and each ocular surface sign, and the correlations were f...

He was taken to hospital and did not recover consciousness for five days. XVhen he came to, he noticed that he could not open his left eye. There was no other paralysis but he was told that he had had a temporary left sided hemiplegia for the first three days. He noticed that when he lifted the left upper lid with his hand he saw double, The diagnosis was fracture of base of skull, nasal bones ...

Juvenile primates develop myopia when their visual experience is degraded by lid fusion. In response to this abnormal visual input, retinal neural networks cause an excessive growth of the postequatorial segment of the eye, but the mechanism underlying this axial elongation is unknown. After fusion of the lids in one eye of juvenile rhesus macaques and green monkeys, we combined cDNA subtractio...

The volume of the levator superior rectus muscle complex was determined from computed tomography scans of 152 orbits from 76 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. Clinically observed lid retraction and lid lag did not correlate with the levator/superior rectus muscle volume and did not correlate with limitation of vertical eye movements or inferior rectus muscle volume. These results do not sup...
