[Characteristics of ocular detachment after refractive surgery].

The myopic eye subject to refractive surgery maintains a high risk of retinal detachment (RD). We present the difficulties of endo-ocular surgery on patients with previous radial keratotomy as well as the particular aspects of RD in patient with LASIK. RD in lens refractive surgery eyes is not essentially different from RD on pseudophakic eyes.

[Central serous chorioretinopathy--clinical aspects and course].

Purpose: To investigate and to identify the clinical aspects and outcomes in military patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: Prospective, comparative, observational case series study during 01.01.

[Macula in glaucoma patients].

Recent studies show that early glaucoma changes consist in decrease of macular and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. When visual acuity and visual field are modified there are 50% ganglion cells loss in retina. Retinal evaluation becomes a new method in early detection of glaucoma.

[Internal tamponade in proliferative diabetic retinopathy surgery].

Vitreous hemorrhage has been the most common indication of posterior vitrectomy in diabetic retinopathy. Now, the leader is tractional retinal detachement and many others: rhegmatogenous retinal detachement, fibrovascular proliferations membranes, huge premacular hemorrhage. During vitrectomy procedure it may be necessary internal tamponade using air, expanding gases, silicon oil and/or perfluorocarbon liquids.

[Age related macular degeneration surgery].

Age related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a disease in which the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is damaged in the central retinal area. In the exudative form, the vision loss is due to choroidal neovascularization, while in the nonexudative or atrophic form, there is a vision loss because of the retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. Treatment which proved to be efficient in lowering the risk of severe vision loss in the exudative form includes laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, transpupilary thermotherapy and as surgical treatment, the controversial subretinal membrane extraction.
