purpose : to determine the maximum non-toxic dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (epo) in rabbit eyes methods : eight rabbits (sixteen eyes) were scheduled for evaluating side effects of four intravitreal doses of 1000, 2000, 4000 and 5000 iu of epo, two rabbits for each dose. for each dose (two rabbits), the drug was injected for the right eyes. balanced salt solution (bss) was injected i...

purpose: to evaluate the visual outcomes of lasik in myopic eyes. methods: this interventional case series was performed on records of 345 eyes of 179 patients for correcting myopia with astigmatism < 3.00 diopter (d). all patients were operated by one surgeon (h.n.) with the nidek ec 5000 excimer laser. all patients had at least one year follow up. based on preoperative refraction, patients we...

Objective- Assessment of the lens anterior – posterior (AP) diameter as compared with the eye globe by ultrasonography in rabbit.   Design- Descriptive study.   Animals- 120 male and female rabbits, two months to four years old, and weighting between 300 to 1500gr.   Procedures- 2D ultrasonography of the eyes was performed and AP diameter of the eyes and lens were measured using Sonosite Tit...

purpose : this study was designed to assess and compare the thickness of the peripapillar retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) in amblyopic and normal eyes in unilateral strabismic ambelyopia using scanning laser polarimeter. methods : scanning laser polarimetry was performed on 17 patients with unilateral strabismic amblyopia who had an absence of neurologic diseases or glaucoma with a minimum age...

purpose : to investigate the risk factors and causes for blindness in behcet’s disease (bd). methods : in this preliminary retrospective case series we have investigated 27 bd patients (54 eyes), legally blind (vision 0.1 or less) at least in one eye at the last visit (2006), and compared them with 54 eyes of 27 non-blind patients (control group), matched individually and consequently in terms ...

purpose: to analyze the results of scanning slit topography (orbscan ii, bausch & lomb) in both eyes of patients with unilateral fuchs’ heterochromic iridocyclitis methods: an intra-subject non-interventional case-control study was conducted on patients with unilateral fuchs’ heterochromic iridocyclitis (fhi). none of the patients had history of ocular surgery. corneal topographic parameters ob...

This study was conducted to determine the use of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DU) in ocular imaging of the dog and measuring of its optical axis. 12 healthy mixed-breed dogs including 6 males and 6 females were studied. 3DU of the eyes were done using a 5–12 MHz linear trapezoid transducer. 3DU of the eyes were evaluated and the normal optical long axis through a line between the cornea ...

Introduction “Blink” is defined as closing and opening of the eyes in a small duration of time. In this study, we aimed to introduce a fast, robust, vision-based approach for blink detection. Materials and Methods This approach consists of two steps. In the first step, the subject’s face is localized every second and with the first blink, the system detects the eye’s location and creates an ope...

purpose: to compare the safety, efficacy, and visual results of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) in eyes with and without previous scleral buckling surgery in the same individuals. methods: in a prospective clinical trial, 14 eyes of 7 patients with myopic refractive error and history of scleral buckling in one eye, underwent lasik surgery in both eyes according to a standard surgical proto...
