Introduction: The adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis infiltrates may be a source of significant visual impairment justifying the use of various therapeutic means.

Aim: Evaluate the efficiency and safety of use of cyclosporine A 0,5% eye drop in the treatment of subepithelial infiltrates.

Methods: It was a prospective study of 37 eyes of 22 patients with adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis with subepithelial infiltrates treated with cyclosporine A 0,5% eye drop.

[Epidemiological aspects of malignant melanoma of the uvea in Tunisia].

Background: to assess clinical factors that may influence the prognosis of malignant melanoma of the uvea

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from January 1990 to December 2013, involving 80 patients suffering from malignant melanoma of the uvea. We determined the location, the size, the tumor thickness, the clinicopathological aspect, the degree of pigmentation of the uveal melanoma, and associated signs Results: Factors significantly associated with poor prognosis were: a tumor location (p = 0.01), the infiltrative or fungus aspect (p = 0.
