Structural and functional outcomes after treatment of uveitic macular oedema: an optical coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinogram study.

Background:   The aim was to evaluate the correlation between the anatomical and functional outcomes before and after treatment of uveitic macular oedema.

Methods:   Thirty-three eyes of 33 patients with uveitic macular oedema were included in the present study. Visual acuity (VA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) were measured before and after treatment of the macular oedema.

Bilateral simultaneous anterior ischemic optic neuropathy associated with sildenafil.

We report a case of simultaneous bilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) due to sildenafil use. A 55-year-old man with an unremarkable medical history presented simultaneous bilateral NAION 8 months after continuous use of sildenafil 4-5 times a month. At presentation, visual acuity (VA) was 0.

New ophthalmic features in a family with triple A syndrome.

We report three subjects of a Greek family affected by triple A syndrome (AAAS). All patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination, full-field electroretinogram (ERG), visual evoked responses (VER), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and molecular analysis of the AAA gene. All patients had alacrima.

Optical coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinogram study in human immunodeficiency virus-positive children without infectious retinitis.

Background: The aim was to evaluate the macular structure and function in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease without cytomegalovirus retinitis or visual symptoms.

Methods: Thirty-eight eyes of 19 HIV-positive children (Group A) were examined. Group B included 20 (40 eyes) age- and sex-matched control subjects.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy after Rhinoplasty.

We report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy after rhinoplasty for deviation of the nasal septum in a 23-year-old Caucasian man. The patient complained of deterioration of vision in the right eye 4 days after rhinoplasty. At presentation, visual acuity of the right eye was 6/9 with metamorphopsia.

Morphologic changes and functional retinal impairment in patients with Parkinson disease without visual loss.

Purpose: To investigate the anatomic and electrophysiologic changes of the macula and the optic nerve in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) without visual impairment.

Methods: Thirty-two eyes of 16 patients with PD (group A) without visual impairment were tested. Visual acuity was 20/20 or better and visual fields as well as color vision testing results were normal.

A clinical study of annular cyclitis.

Purpose: To investigate six cases of annular cyclitis.

Methods: All patients with impairment of visual acuity underwent complete ophthalmologic examination, color fundus photography, laboratory tests and fluorescein angiography. Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and B-scan ultrasonography were also performed in three cases in order to diagnose the disease.

Tilted disc syndrome: an OCT and mfERG study.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal thickness and function in eyes with tilted disc syndrome with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG).

Methods: Twenty-one eyes of 12 patients (4 males and 8 females) with tilted disc were studied with OCT3 and mfERG and compared with 40 eyes of 20 age and sex-matched control subjects. The thickness of the fovea and the thickness of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) along a 3.

Clinical and multifocal-electroretinographic findings of congenital tilted disc syndrome associated with choroidal neovascularization: a case report.

Purpose: To report a case of a tilted disc syndrome associated with choroidal neovascularization.

Methods: A 55-year-old male patient presented with blurred vision and metamorphopsia of the left eye. He underwent complete ophthalmologic examination, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal-electroretinogram (mf-ERG).

Management of large traumatic zonular dialysis with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation using the capsular tension ring.

Purpose: To report our results and to evaluate the longterm effect of capsular tension ring (CTR) insertion in eyes with large traumatic zonular dialysis that underwent phacoemulsification with posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methods: This prospective study included 17 eyes of 17 consecutive patients with cataract and large traumatic zonular dialysis (range 80-160 degrees determined pre-or intraoperatively). After insertion of a CTR, phacoemulsification with foldable acrylic PC IOL implantation was performed.
