  ABSTRACT: To assess the efficacy and safety of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide in diabetic macular oedema. prospective study; 76 patients, 102 eyes; preoperative assessment: visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus biomicroscopy fluoresceine angiography, sometimes OCT; postoperative assessment: visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus biomicroscopy, fluoresceine angiography, sometimes OCT. Visual acuity improvement in 42% cases; subjective improvement of visual acuity in 72% of cases Triamcinolon acetonide may play a role in treatment of diabetic macular oedema.

  ABSTRACT: To show the cornea/transplantation activity of our clinic in 2009 and 2010 We assessed: The number of corneal prelevations. The number of surgeries. The etiology of the disesses which need cornea/transplantation. Although there is a slow increase, the activity of corneal transplantation has not a satisfactory level.

  ABSTRACT: To assess the need of /P system use in soft cataract prospective study--40 eyes with soft cataract (+/++); surgery with Infinity system, Ozil handpiece; in 20 eyes we used low levels (max 70%) of torsional ultrasound power and IP system; in 20 eyes we used higher levels of torsional ultrasound power without IP system; we assessed: the CME value and the presence of cornela edema. In cases with tosional ultrasound only: average value of CME--2.4; maxim value of CME--4.3; all corneas without edema. In cases with torsional ultrasound and IP system; average value of CME--3.6; maxim value of CME--7.2; 4 eyes with decemetic folds in central cornea. In soft cataracts is better to not use IP system

  ABSTRACT: We show a clinical case of siderosis bulbi with absolute secondary glaucoma. The initial diagnosis was primary open angle glaucoma in both eyes, and the patient was treated with eye drops for 4 years. After reassessment of anamnesis, clinical and paraclinical investigations we find that one eye is normal and the real diagnosis in the involved eye.

  ABSTRACT: "Red eye" is a sign and the same time a symptom frequently met in the ophthalmological practice. The "red eye" is not always the clinical manifestation of a common conjunctivitis. We will present a case report of a patient who accused conjunctival hyperemia, lacrimation, foreign--body sensation; she was also describing recurrent conjunctivitis for the past year. After an detailed ophthalmologic examination and interdisciplinary consultations. She was diagnosed with Basedow Disease and paraselar meningioma with invasion in the pterigoid fossa. The authors are suggesting that there is an indirect left carotid - cavernous fistula.

  ABSTRACT: To evaluate the results of AcrySof Toric intraocular lens (Alcon) implantation to correct pre-existing astigmatism and rotational stability in patients having cataract surgery or not. Retrospective study three surgical teams, between February 2009-August 2010, included 37 eyes with more than 1 diopter (D) of preexisting corneal astigmatism having or not cataract surgery. Rotation at 6 M post-op: 32 patients (87%)--> rotation between aprox. 0-5 degrees, 4 patients (11%)--> rotation between A 5-10 degrees, 1 patient (2%) rotation of A 20 degrees. The mean refractive cylinder decreased significantly after surgery: 34 (91.90%) of cases between 0.25-0.75 D--2 (5.40%) of cases 1.5 D--1 (2.70%) of cases > 1.5 D. In conclusion the results indicate that TheAcrySof Toric IOL is a viable option of preoperative corneal astigmatism in carefully selected cases. The Toric IOL showed good rotational stability The most frequent cause of turnover is the: viscoelastic left in the capsular bag (early rotation); fibrosis of the bag (late rotation).

  ABSTRACT: To clarify the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma in an atypic case. Assessment of intraocular pressure, the aspect of optic nerve head and automated perimetry show interpretable values. We assess the head of optic disc and the visual field in both mother and daughter of the patient. The optic disc and the automated perimetry in both relatives was normal reassessment of visual field at the patient show a normal appearance. When the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma is unclear, the assessment of members of family may be useful.

  ABSTRACT: This paper highlights the case of a 46-year-old female patient who seeks ophthalmic medical advice for her complaint about double vision on right gaze. Patient's medical history reveals several symptoms like headaches, progressive hearing loss on right side and dysphonia for which all investigations proved irrelevant. Thourough clinical examination, lab exams and imaging techniques revealed the cause for this symptoms i.e. glomic tumour with middle ear extention. We find this case to be exceptional as ocular symptoms led to the diagnose of a non-ocular serious, possible life threatening condition, bearing in mind that previously occured non-ocular symptoms couldn't elucidate the cause.

  ABSTRACT: To reassess the diagnosis in a group of patients with diagnosis and treatment for open-angle glaucoma. Group of 100 patients with diagnosis and treatment for open-angle glaucoma, sent in our clinic for automated perimetry. We assess: intraocular pressure, automated perimetry, the head of optic disc; sometimes we stopped the treatment and reassess the intraocular pressure; sometimes pahimetry. We confirm or not the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma. In 41 patients the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma was not real. The diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma is made often without clear medical evidences.

  ABSTRACT: Thyroid ophthalmopathy is a relatively frequent pathology. Usually it is a self-limited affection but same cases develop visual-threatening complication. The management of thyroid disorders necessitates both treatment of the systemic thyroid disease and management of the thyroid eye disease in order to alleviate the ocular discomfort, to prevent disfigurement and to avoid the visual threatening complications.

  ABSTRACT: The authors present two cases of TASS which occurred consequent upon anterior chamber administration of cefuroxime(Axetin). The ESCRS guidelines on prevention, investigation and management of postoperative endophthalmitis recommends intracameral injection of an antibiotic agent (cephalosporin) at the conclusion of surgery. In our group of patients TASS occurred. Elements of diagnosis and treatment in TASS are discussed. As a conclusion to our study we decided to discontinue cefuroxime administration.
