Post-Keratoplasty Microbial Keratitis in the Era of Lamellar Transplants-A Comprehensive Review.

Microbial keratitis in a post-transplant cornea should be considered a distinct entity from microbial keratitis in a non-transplant cornea. Firstly, the use of immunosuppressive treatments and sutures in corneal transplants changes the etiology of keratitis. Secondly, corneal transplant has an impact on corneal biomechanics and structure, which facilitates the spread of infection.

Dry eye syndrome symptoms in patients with psoriasis.

Background: Psoriasis is one of the most common dermatoses associated with a variety of comorbidities. There have been some reports on its possible association with ocular disorders however dry eye syndrome (DES) in such patients has been poorly investigated.

Objectives: To investigate the frequency of DES symptoms in psoriatic patients, also regarding psoriasis severity in PASI, manifestation and therapy.

Management of simultaneous ocular elevation and depression deficit in patients after reconstruction surgery for orbital floor fracture.

Purpose: To present and examine the results of surgical correction of simultaneous ocular elevation and depression deficit in patients who underwent reconstruction surgery for orbital floor fracture.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records of patients who had undergone surgical correction for diplopia associated with orbital fracture which persisted after orbital reconstruction surgery. All patients underwent orthoptic evaluation before surgery and postoperatively with various times of follow-up.

Objective cyclodeviation measurement in normal subjects by means of Cyclocheck application.

Purpose: To evaluate the range of cyclodeviation in normal individuals by means of Cyclocheck application recently designed by the authors and freely available at www.cyclocheck.com.

The influence of concomitant medial wall fracture on the results of orbital floor reconstruction.

Introduction: Up to 35% of orbital floor fractures extend to the medial wall. This results in restriction of both abduction and adduction, leading to horizontal diplopia. The greater the defect, the more pronounced the enophthalmos.
