The article describes a clinical case of a 14-year old patient with RDH5 mutations (OMIM *601617) in patient with fundus albipunctatus (OMIM #136880) and characteristic biomarkers of this disease with previously described pathogenic variant of nucleotic sequence in exon 3 of the RDH5 gene (NM_002905.3:c.500G>A), causing a missense change (p.

Material And Methods: The study included 42 patients (84 eyes) with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) at the age of 9-18 years. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination, including morphometric (OCT), functional (ERG) and psycho-physical (computer perimetry) methods.
Unlabelled: The optimal method of correcting aphakia in infants with congenital cataract (CC) is intraocular correction. Considering the growth of the eyes, most authors implant an IOL with lower dioptric power to try to anticipate the refractive indices after the growth, which in some cases do not match the prediction.
Purpose: To evaluate the achieved refraction and its relation to the anterior-posterior axis of pseudophakic eyes after extraction of CC in children of up to one year of age.
The article presents the results of a study on retinal vessels in stage 3 and 4 cicatricial retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) by means of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT). The study comprised 29 children (40 eyes) aged from 6 month to 12 years with stage 3 and 4 cicatricial ROP, of which 17 children (21 eyes) under 6 and 12 children (19 eyes) over 6 years of age. SD OCT was used to approach the depth of retinal vessels and the caliber of the first-order vessels.

23 infants (46 eyes) with zone I retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were examined. Zone I ROP is characterized with distinctive clinical presentation, course, prognosis and treatment results. Coagulation of retina in active I zone ROP showed efficacy in 70%: in posterior ROP - 56,3%, in anterior ROP - 79%.
