[The effect of pleoptic treatment on the stability of visual fixation in children and adolescents with amblyopia of various degrees].

Purpose: This study assesses the effect of pleoptic treatment on the stability of visual fixation in children and adolescents with amblyopia of various degrees.

Material And Methods: The effect of the treatment in 35 children (35 eyes) with amblyopia of various degrees was evaluated using the MP-1 Microperimeter. The stability was determined by two criteria - number of fixation point hits in the 2° zone and the width of the field of fixation.

[The effect of pleoptic treatment on retinal light sensitivity and visual fixation in a patient with amblyopia of high degree and off-center fixation (case study)].

Most sources state that pleoptic treatment is ineffective after the age of 14 years. Despite the high level of diagnostic capabilities in modern ophthalmology, unilateral amblyopia is quite often diagnosed in adolescents. This rises the question - should they refuse treatment? To evaluate the impact of treatment on retinal light sensitivity and the state of the patient's visual fixation, a 23-year-old female patient with high degree amblyopia was examined using the MP-1 Microperimeter.

[Specific biomarkers of response to antiangiogenic therapy].

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are the main causes of blindness in the elderly and loss of central vision in patients with diabetic retinopathy, respectively. Anti-VEGF therapy is currently the gold standard for treatment of such patients; it has proved its effectiveness in both randomized clinical trials and clinical practice. However, it should be taken into account that the extent of therapeutic response varies depending on individual characteristics of patients, including the presence of biomarkers that predict the therapeutic response.

[Differential diagnostic OCT-criteria of acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy].

Unlabelled: Principal differences in natural history, therapeutic approaches, and functional prognosis of acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) requires that they were distinguished.

Aim: to define differential diagnostic criteria for acute and chronic CSC basing on the chorioretinal complex analysis by EDI-optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed that included data of 112 patients with CSC, who were assigned to either the 'acute' (52 patients) or 'chronic' (60 patients) group depending on symptoms duration (3 months) and fluorescein angiography findings.

[Comparative analysis of the results of microperimetry and conventional computed perimetry in health].

Twenty-one healthy volunteers aged 21 to 37 years (21 eyes) were examined on a MP-1 microperimeter and a Humphrey HFA II-750i perimeter by the 10-2 program. The standard stimulation parameters used on the microperimeter revealed a wide plateau in the central visual field due to the limited stimulus intensity range of MP-1. The comparable data on both perimeters could be obtained only with small-sized stimuli (Goldmann I).
