[Neuroprotection in glaucoma].

The present paper is a revue of the basic terms related to the neuroprotection, an up-to-date on the pathophysiology of glaucoma. There are emphasized some of the main directions of evolution in the antiglaucomatous and neuroprotective treatment.

[Electroretinography in monitoring glaucoma patients].

Ocular electrophysiology investigations come back in actuality with new elements; current functional tests involve bias (VF) and require the use of investigations with a high degree of objectivism: full field ERG, pattern ERG, for early detection and monitoring of certain ophthalmic diseases.

[Keratinocytes--the cell with multiple phenotypes].

The keratocytes play a leading role in maintaining the normal transparent corneal structure, but also in repairing it, following various injuries. Knowledge of phenotype changes of these cells is important, both for explaining corneal pathology and for researching new therapy options.

[Ocular melanocytosis and delayed psycho-intellectual development--other association?].

Congenital ocular melanocytosis (COM) is an extremely rare melanocytic hyperplasia (0.038% in Caucasian population); it affects episclera and sclera. The conjunctival epithelium is not affected, as opposed to conjunctival melanosis.

[Current trends in keratoplasty].

The article presents current keratoplasty options available worldwide, indications and limits for each type of surgical procedure, as well as postoperative treatment, including immunomodulation therapies, some of whom are still in an experimental stage, available for use in selected clinics.
