Use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret®) fibrin membrane to cover corneal dellen.

Corneal dellen appeared as a complication after perilimbal conjunctival papilloma dissection in a six-year-old patient. Our purpose was to describe the use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) fibrin membrane in covering the corneal defect after conventional medical treatment failure. PRGF fibrin membrane is an interesting therapeutical option to consider not only in adult patients, but also in children.

Use of semisynthetic dura mater substitute as a patch graft for prosthesis extrusion in anophthalmic socket.

We present a case report of a three-year old patient diagnosed with retinoblastoma in her left eye. The course of the disease made enucleation of the latter eye and a prosthesis implant necessary. Two years after surgery, partial prosthesis extrusion occurred and a semisynthetic dura mater substitute was used as a patch graft to cover the defect.

Analysis and follow-up of type 1 choroidal neovascularisation with optical coherence tomography-angiography after antiangiogenic treatment.

Aim: To describe the characteristics of type 1 choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) using two different optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) devices sequentially during a standard protocol of three intravitreal injections of an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF).

Methods: The study included 6 eyes with naïve neovascular ARMD. Macular OCT-A images were acquired using AngioPlex Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.

Qualitative analysis of repaired filtering blebs with anterior segment-optical coherence tomography.

Objective: To provide a qualitative analysis of filtering blebs after being surgically repaired due to late blebs leaks.

Methods: Blebs were studied 6 months after surgical reparation using AS-OCT Triton (Topcon). An analysis was made of the morphological pattern and internal structures of blebs, including the covering, in 10 patients.

Papillophlebitis versus paediatric venous thrombosis. A case with 46C/T polymorphism in the F12 coagulation gene.

Clinical Case: An 8 year-old boy with no known diseases, with sudden loss of visual acuity (VA) in the left eye (LE).

Examination: VA 1 in right eye, and 0.1 in LE, discrete left relative afferent pupil defect (RAPD).

[Experimental study of the suture of the intraocular lens sutured to the ciliary sulcus. Needle passage and distance from the limbus].

Objective: To discover which technique is best to scleral suture fixation of the lens in the ciliary sulcus, based on two needle direction options: passing the needle from the outer part of the eyeball inwards or from the inner part outwards and to know at what distance the needle must be passed from the sclerocorneal limbus.

Material And Methods: We used 40 cadaver eyes conserved in 10% formaldehyde. The needle was passed from the interior to the exterior of the eye, observing whether if it had crossed through the ciliary sulcus and the distance of the needle from the limbus.
