[Assessment of systane in severe dry eye].

The study proposes the evaluation of the Systane effect on people that have severe dry eye sensation, with cornea or conjunctive complications. In order to do this, a study protocol has been adopted which meant comparing the values of lacrimal film break-up time, before and after Systane treatment, comparing cornea and conjunctive staining, comparing the crystallization test before and after treatment, comparing the conjunctival impression before and after treatment, and the general acceptability of Systane. The study results have shown that in severe dry eye cases, Systane increases lacrimal film break-up time by 2-3 seconds than the initial value, as well as considerable reduction in cornea/conjunctival staining and in conjunctival hyperemia in Sicca keratoconjunctivitis.

[Ophthalmic manifestation in icterus--hemorrhagic leptospirosis].

We present the case of a 19-year-old male, admitted in the Ophthalmology Clinic for Macular Chorioretinitis, hemorrhagic form. Laboratory findings shown high titres of icterus-hemorrhages leptospirosis.

[Uveal melanoma].

The paper present a clinic and histological study, including all cases of uveal malignant tumours, hospitalized in Ophthalmological Clinic of Craiova in the last 15 years. The follow-up period of cases were 4 years. The diagnosis was established by clinic and paraclinic examination (imaging methods-- MRI, CT, Echo) and histologic examination.

[Neovascular glaucoma--retrospective study].

The paper realized the retrospective evaluation of all cases of neovascular glaucoma hospitalized in Clinic of Ophthalmology of Craiova in the last 15 years. Neovascular secondary glaucoma represents 3,9% of all glaucomas. The most important etiologic factors were the central venous occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, carotid occlusion, intraocular tumors, chronic uveitis, Fuchs heterochromy.

[General and local risk factors in infectious keratitis].

Purpose: The paper presents a study of corneal ulcers at aged persons for the identification of etiologic and aggravates factors that may have a negative influence for the prognostic of the diseases.

Material And Method: We have performed a retrospective study using a lot of aged patients with corneal ulcers, hospitalized in 2002-2003 period. The data were obtained by both clinical examination (anamnesis and ocular examination) and by the laboratory exams (microbiologic exam).

[The adaptometry study in patients with diabetic retinopathy].

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to study if the cones and rods adaption is influenced by the degree of the diabetic retinopathy or by the retinal photocoagulation treatment.

Material And Method: I analysed three groups of diabetic patients: the first group without diabetic retinopathy, the second with different stages of diabetic retinopathy without laser treatment and the last one treated by panphotocoagulation.

Results: The exploration of the global light and dark adaptation of the retina using Hartinger's adaptometer does not allow a qualitative and selective appreciation of this function.
