The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on visual functions in ischaemic optic neuropathy.

The effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy were studied in nine patients with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, who had been unsatisfactorily treated with corticosteroids. In four patients with signs of optic disc atrophy there was no improvement of visual functions after hyperbaric oxygen treatment, whereas in the other five patients, who had no signs of optic disc atrophy, visual acuity and visual field improved. The achieved improvements were maintained at a control examination six months later.

Cardiovascular reflex testing and pupil cycle time in open-angle glaucoma.

The aim of the study is to assess the value of function tests of the autonomic nervous system in open-angle glaucoma by testing the cardiovascular reflexes and pupil cycle time. The experimental group consisted of 19 glaucoma subjects with controlled intraocular pressure. The control group consisted of 20 healthy volunteers.

[Etiopathogenic characteristics of posterior uveitis in children].

Nine children with acute posterior uveitis were treated for period of 3 years (3.2% of all children treated during that period). The authors speak in favor of the investigation of the HLA-system and the analysis of humoral and cellular immunologic parameters.

A prospective study on the etiology of uveitis.

We prospectively studied and classified 152 cases of endogenous uveitis treated at the Ophthalmological Clinic in Split, Yugoslavia, according to clinical presentation, several immunologic parameters including HLA subtyping, and the presence of an associated systemic disease. Using our diagnostic criteria we successfully classified 91.4% of patients.
