Background: We present the case of a car accident where the cause-consequence of the subsequent visual loss in one eye of the victim was proven by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: A 66-year-old woman was hit by a car from her right side and complained of immediate visual loss after the accident in her right eye. The patient was referred to our outpatient clinic 2.
Purpose: To determine clinical phenotypes, examine the age dependency of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), and identify mutations in the retinoschisis1 gene (RS1) in 13 Hungarian (Caucasian) families with this disease.
Methods: This study included 72 members in 13 families. Complete ophthalmological examinations, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and full-field and multifocal electroretinography (ERG), were performed on 20 affected males, 13 female carriers, and 27 healthy controls.
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness for the patient of retrobulbar anaesthesia (RBA) and topical anaesthesia (TA) in cataract surgery by phacoemulsification.
Methods: We performed a prospective, randomized study on 115 patients operated at our clinic using the two anaesthesia techniques. The RBA group comprised 57 patients (20 women, 37 men; age 72 +/- 10 years); the TA group comprised 58 patients (20 women, 38 men; age 74 +/- 10 years).
Purpose: This study aimed to compare preoperatively calculated and postoperatively achieved refraction following phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane or epiretinal membrane removal.
Methods: Twelve eyes of 12 patients who underwent a combined procedure were enrolled in this study. Ultrasound axial length and macular thickness (optical coherence tomography, OCT) measurements were performed pre- and postoperatively.
