[Benign Tumors of the Eyelid].

Benign tumors of the eyelids are manifold. They can severely impair the anatomical unit of upper and lower eyelid, which basically serves to protect the eyeball. Furthermore, they can induce reduction of visual acuity or cause a subjectively more or less strong aesthetic disturbance of appearance.

[Comparison of trabeculectomy and canaloplasty : Pressure reducing effect and postoperative interventions/complications].

Background: Trabeculectomy (TET) is still the most commonly performed surgical treatment in dealing with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) worldwide. Canaloplasty (CP) as a nonpenetrating surgical procedure has recently become a new option to efficiently reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).

Objectives: This study compared both surgical procedures concerning the efficacy in IOP reduction.

Induction of neoplasia after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in a CXL-treated cornea.

Purpose: Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) with ultraviolet-A energy plus riboflavin has become a ubiquitous treatment in early keratoconus, although its long-term safety is unknown. We describe severe sequelae in a CXL-treated patient after he underwent a standard deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty procedure.

Methods: In April 2009, a healthy 49-year-old male patient (R.

[Fundus leucaemicus as first manifestation of chronic myeloid leukemia. Diagnosis and monitoring with OCT under treatment with imatinib and interferon-alpha].

Fundus leucaemicus with reduction of visual acuity can be one of the first signs of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The ocular manifestations are unspecific, but characteristic for severe systemic diseases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is helpful for documentation and quantification of the pathological retinal changes.
