Two Decades of Insights: Comprehensive Histopathological and Epidemiological Analysis of Conjunctival Tumors.

This study analyzed 2102 conjunctival lesions excised between 1981 and 2003 at a single tertiary center in Serbia, with the aim of evaluating their histopathological characteristics, anatomical localization, and demographic distribution. Of the total cases recorded, 55.1% were male, indicating a slight male predominance.

Retinal Perfusion Analysis of Children with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

(1) Background: This study aims to evaluate retinal perfusion by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) without diabetic retinopathy (DR). (2) Methods: Thirty-one patients affected by T1D were enrolled. All participants were evaluated using OCTA.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Quality of Life following Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A Prospective Analysis.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns, offering transformative potential for patients' overall well-being. This study systematically evaluates the comprehensive impact of upper eyelid blepharoplasty on patients' quality of life, employing rigorous methodologies and standardized assessment protocols. A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted, involving 348 patients aged 49 to 87 years.

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness Syndrome with Heterozygous p.D50N in the Gene in Two Serbian Adult Patients.

Purpose: Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare congenital ectodermal dysplastic syndrome presenting with keratitis, ichthyosis and sensorineural hearing loss. The most common causes of KID syndrome are heterozygous missense mutations in the gene that codes for connexin 26.

Case Report: During the ophthalmological examination, two adult females complained of recent worsening of visual acuity in both eyes.

Evaluation of dry eye symptoms and risk factors among medical students in Serbia.

Background: Dry eye is a multifactorial disease defined less than 30 years ago. It is a relatively common disorder, affected by a number of well-known risk factors. Dry eye can be challenging to diagnose because of the possible discrepancy between patients' symptoms and clinical signs, and its overlap with other ocular surface diseases.

Evaluation of ocular pulse amplitude changes after the retinal detachment repair.

Purpose: The study was conducted to determine the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) changes, measured with a dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), after surgical retinal detachment repair.

Methods: This was a prospective and comparative study. Thirty patients (30 eyes) who had undergone uncomplicated unilateral scleral buckling and encircling procedures for quadrant or half-retinal rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were referred for DCT one day before the surgery was performed, on the 1, 7, and 30 postoperative day.

Herpetic eye disease study: lessons learned.

Purpose Of Review: Ophthalmic herpes simplex virus (HSV) of the anterior segment is responsible for a range of corneal complications such as scarring, thinning, neovascularization, and severe loss of vision. This review provides current guidelines for treating anterior segment disease related to HSV.

Recent Findings: We first review findings from the Herpetic Eye Disease Study (HEDS) clinical trials, and then review new topical and antiviral therapies developed since the HEDS studies.

[The effects of cycloplegic eyedrops on corneal tomography].

Purpose: Whether cycloplegics affect standard keratorefractometric and tomographic measurements is unknown. The purpose of our study was to compare the effects of cycloplegics (cyclopentolate and atropine) on corneal shape and refractive power of the eye.

Methods: This study was performed on 84 eyes of 49 study participants.

Human external ophthalmomyiasis caused by Lucilia sericata Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae)--a green bottle fly.

Ophthalmomyiasis externa is the result of infestation of the conjunctiva by the larval form or maggots of flies from the order Diptera. If not recognized and managed appropriately, it can be complicated by the potentially fatal condition ophthalmomyiasis interna. Ophthalmomyiasis externa is mainly caused by the sheep bot fly (Oestrus ovis).

The frequency of chemical injuries of the eye in a tertiary referral centre.

Introduction: Chemical injuries can occur under various circumstances and may cause serious damage to the anterior segment of the eye.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyse the frequency of chemical injuries treated in a tertiary referral centre.

Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients admitted for the chemical injury of the eye to the Clinic for Eye Diseases in Belgrade between January 1999 and December 2008 were retrospectively analysed in order to obtain data about proportions of injuries, demographical characteristics of patients, circumstances under which injuries happened, the chemicals involved, the severity of injury according to the Roper-Hall classification and the length of hospitalization.

Duane type I retraction syndrome associated with Wyburn-Mason syndrome.

Purpose: Our aim is to report the co-existence of Duane's retraction syndrome and Wyburn-Mason syndrome, a rare condition characterized by arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the central nervous system and retina.

Methods: An 11-year-old boy was referred for evaluation of strabismus present since birth. On examination his uncorrected visual acuity was 6/6 in each eye, with small angle left eye esotropia in the primary position, ipsilateral face turn, abduction deficit, lid fissure narrowing in adduction and widening in abduction; plus typical features of left-sided type I Duane syndrome were present.
