Ocular and oral grading of mucous membrane pemphigoid.

Background: A variety of methods have been described for grading ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), each with their own limitations. In contrast, there are no reported grading systems for involvement of the oral mucosa. We wished to evaluate two ocular (one established and one proposed) and an oral mucosal grading system for MMP.

Use of Staurenghi lens angiography in the management of posterior uveitis.

Purpose: Retinal vasculitis is an important component of posterior uveitis. It may be difficult to detect either clinically or with conventional angiography. We assessed the role of Staurenghi lens angiography (SLA) in the diagnosis and management of patients with posterior uveitis.

Prospective study of surgical outcomes and bleb morphology using indocyanine green as a surgical dye in trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

Background: To investigate the effect of adding indocyanine green to mitomycin C in augmented trabeculectomy.

Design: A prospective, non-comparative interventional case series.

Participants: A total of 37 eyes of 37 patients followed up for 1 year.

Corneal confocal microscopy in Darier disease.

Purpose: We report ocular findings in a patient with Darier disease. In particular, we discuss the in vivo confocal images.

Method: A retrospective noninterventional case report.

Development of a highly detailed virtual model eye.

Using a three-dimensional modeling computer program, the authors created a three-dimensional, highly detailed computer-generated model of a normal eye to enhance the teaching of basic ophthalmic anatomy. The resulting model is a uniquely detailed virtual eye that can illustrate ocular anatomy clearly but realistically at many levels of magnification. Eye anatomy can be demonstrated from any viewpoint, with a choice of which structures are visible.
