Traumatic expulsive iridodialysis with vitreous prolapse.

Traumatic expulsive iridodialysis is a rare complication after trauma by a blunt object in eyes with previous small-incision cataract surgery. The presence of an intact lens capsule with an intraocular lens was thought to protect against damage beyond the posterior capsule. We report a case of dehiscence of the cataract wound and traumatic expulsive iridodialysis that also exhibited vitreous prolapse.

[Bilateral posterior scleritis].

Posterior scleritis is an inflammatory process of the posterior part of the sclera. Its prevalence is very low and its diagnosis can be complicated due to the absence of external ocular signs. It is more frequent in women.

Diabetic retinopathy screening using tele-ophthalmology in a primary care setting.

We evaluated tele-ophthalmology for diabetic retinopathy screening in a primary care setting. Four general practitioners (GPs) were taught to assess non-mydriatic retinography images of patients with diabetes. After training, a total of 1223 patients were screened using this method: 926 (76%) did not have diabetic retinopathy and 297 (24%) were referred for an ophthalmologic assessment.

[Leber's miliary aneurysm].

Case Report: A 45-year-old man was referred to us with a scotoma sensation in his right visual field. Funduscopic examination showed aneurysmal dilatations with lipid exudation in the superior and inferior temporal retinal arcades in his right eye. Angiofluorography showed vascular dilatations and late dye leakage.

[Agreement among ophthalmologists and primary care physicians in the evaluation of retinographies of diabetic patients].

Purpose: To assess the extent of agreement in the evaluation of non-mydriatic retinographies of diabetic patients among ophthalmologists and a group of primary care physicians with previous training.

Methods: The study was divided in two phases. In the first phase, the four participants were instructed in the interpretation of retinographies.
