[Phacoemulsification versus manual small incision cataract surgery: Anatomic and functional results].

Purpose: Prospective randomised study to compare the impact of phacoemusification (PHACO) and small incision cataract surgery (SICS) on endothelial structure (cell density and morphology) and refractive results (visual acuity, induced astigmatism).

Methods: Prospective study of 57 patients (63 eyes) over 20 months (May 2012-January 2014) undergoing surgery by 2 experienced surgeons. We included patients with senile or presenile cataracts, LOCS III class 2, 3 and 4.

[Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule type 1 in the conjunctiva of diabetic patients: a preliminary study].

Purpose: Recent research has incriminated adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. These molecules have been found to be expressed in many cells participating in inflammatory processes and neovascularization. The purpose of our investigation was to study the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule type 1 (ICAM-1) in the conjunctiva of diabetic patients without retinopathy in comparison with normal human conjunctiva.

[Ocular coloboma associated with cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome].

Introduction: Cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome is an uncommon syndrome consisting of Klippel Feil syndrome, deafness, and Duane syndrome. We relate a new case of cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome.

Case Report: We report the case of 15-month-old girl referred for esotropia of the right eye.

[Analysis of optic nerve head by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope in ocular hypertension].

Purpose: To analyze optic nerve head topography using confocal the scanning laser ophthalmoscope (CSLO) in ocular hypertension in comparison to normal eyes.

Patients And Methods: We examined 25 patients with ocular hypertension and 27 normal controls. All of them had a complete ophthalmic examination.
