Two Decades of Insights: Comprehensive Histopathological and Epidemiological Analysis of Conjunctival Tumors.

This study analyzed 2102 conjunctival lesions excised between 1981 and 2003 at a single tertiary center in Serbia, with the aim of evaluating their histopathological characteristics, anatomical localization, and demographic distribution. Of the total cases recorded, 55.1% were male, indicating a slight male predominance.

Retinal Perfusion Analysis of Children with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

(1) Background: This study aims to evaluate retinal perfusion by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) without diabetic retinopathy (DR). (2) Methods: Thirty-one patients affected by T1D were enrolled. All participants were evaluated using OCTA.

Evaluation of dry eye symptoms and risk factors among medical students in Serbia.

Background: Dry eye is a multifactorial disease defined less than 30 years ago. It is a relatively common disorder, affected by a number of well-known risk factors. Dry eye can be challenging to diagnose because of the possible discrepancy between patients' symptoms and clinical signs, and its overlap with other ocular surface diseases.

Determination of olopatadine in human tears by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-MS/MS method.

Aim: The objective of the study was development of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-ESI/MS/MS method for the determination of olopatadine in tear matrix.

Materials & Methods: Separation was performed on Acquity BEH amide column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.

Iris melanocytoma.

Introduction: Iris melanocytoma (IM) is a rare benign tumor, but unavoidable in differential diagnosis of pigmented iris lesions. According to the best knowledge of the authors it is for the first time in Serbia that a well-documented case of IM is presented and that the problem of this tumor is discussed.

Case Outline: In the left eye of a 47-year-old white female at the iris in a six o'clock position, a highly pigmented, dome shaped lesion with a crater-like cavity in the center and with feathery margins was noticed.

[Ophthalmological profile of patients living with HIV/AIDS].

Introduction: Serbia has 2.287 registered HIV positive persons. A certain number has ocular complications which are mainly the result of opportunistic infections accompanying this illness.

Influence of retrobulbar neuritis and papillitis on echographically measured optic nerve diameter.

Background/aim: Retrobulbar (optic) neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve that may cause a complete or partial loss of vision. This inflammation can affect a part of the nerve within the eyeball (neuropapillitis) or a part of the nerve behind the eyeball (retrobulbar neuritis). The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a correlation between the diameter of a retrobulbar part of the optic nerve and either visual acuity, prominence of the optic disk (papillitis), or nature of the neuritis (papillitis or retrobulbar).

[Ultrasound biomicroscopy in diagnosis of anterior segment pathology].

Introduction: Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure, developed in order to achieve better visualization of the anterior segment of the eye. The first clinical images were made in March 1990. The use of UBM at the Institute for Eye Diseases, Clinical Centre of Serbia, began in February 2007.
