purpose: to describe the variability of ocular and systemic findings in two brothers with gaucher's disease. case report: ophthalmic, general clinical evaluation and enzymatic studies were performed in two brothers, 14 and 7 years old with gaucher’s disease. mental retardation, occipital meningomyelocele and gaucher cells in bone marrow in addition to high myopia and various fundus abnorma...

We carried out a validity assessment study for glaucoma screening procedures used during the survey conducted in Oman in 2005 on 6644 eyes in 3324 people > or = 30 years. Ocular pressure and fundus changes were the screening parameters used: glaucoma was found in 433 eyes. Sensitivity for ocular pressure was 49.7% and specificity 95.6%. For optic disc changes, sensitivity was 48.4% and specific...

BACKGROUND To assess the reproducibility of ophthalmodynamometric measurements using a new, Goldmann contact lens associated, device allowing biomicroscopic visualisation of the optic disc. METHODS The prospective clinical study included 87 eyes of 58 subjects presenting with a normal fundus (n=40), or ocular diseases (n=47). With topical anaesthesia, a Goldmann contact lens, fitted with a pr...

There are many systemic diseases that affect the functioning and working of the eye. Some of the major parts of the eye like iris, retina, and optic nerve are affected due to systemic diseases like diabetes, AIDS, glaucoma, hypertension, macular degeneration, swelling in the brain and many more. Glaucoma is the condition of eye caused by increase in intraocular pressure. Early detection of this...

CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old woman presented with decreased vision in both eyes of 2 months’ duration. She reported no history of systemic disorders. Visual acuity (VA) was 20/200 in her right and 20/400 in her left eye. Slit lamp examination was unremarkable and intraocular pressure was normal. On fundus examination, an elevated lesion was noted in the macula in both eyes. Figures show colo...

Abstract Aims Retrograde ‘fundus-first’ cholecystectomy is when the dissection starts from fundus of gallbladder to infundibulum, in case structures Calot's triangle cannot be identified. Although feasible laparoscopic cholecystectomy, it remains an underutilized approach. We aimed systematically review fundus-first and study its safety feasibility. Methods A systematic was performed compliance...

AIMS Conventional fundus imaging using a fundus camera produces colour fundus pictures. The scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) has the advantages of lower levels of light exposure, improved contrast, and direct digital imaging but until now has produced monochromatic images as a laser of single wavelength is used. True representation of the fundus is possible by combining images taken using bl...

A 65-year-old female developed elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with angle closure in the right eye. The fundus examination revealed vitreo-retinal hemorrhage that had occurred after neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser iridotomy. The retinal hemorrhage resolved spontaneously. This is a rare complication that occurs when the IOP is lowered rapidly. Ocular decompression reti...
