New onset of uveitis during infliximab treatment: A case report.

Introduction: Anti-tumor necrosis factor α (anti-TNF α) agents are an effective treatment for a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In ophthalmology anti-TNF α began to emerge as a possible therapy for non-infectious uveitis, paradoxically their administration may result in the onset or recurrence of inflammatory eye disease such as uveitis. We reported a case of new onset of bilateral anterior and intermediate uveitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) while being treated with infliximab and we performed a review of literature.

Optical coherence tomography angiography microvascular changes in diabetics without diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the retinal vasculature of diabetic eyes without clinical retinopathy in order to detect microvascular abnormalities, comparing them to that of healthy nondiabetic control eyes.

Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional study including 40 patients (76 eyes). Twenty patients (40 eyes) were diabetics with no diabetic retinopathy group (NDRG).

Visual disorders and fitness for professional driving.

Background: The professional driver's post is a security post that requires a careful assessment of the visual functions influencing the medical fitness decision. Professional driving benefits from a codified regulation regarding vision disorders. However, it suffers from several shortfalls making the task of the occupational doctor sometimes difficult.

Infantile Esoropia: Management results and prognostic factors.

Background: Infantile esotropia is characterized by a significant deviation angle and a marked sensory perversion. Although the motor surgical results are satisfactory, the sensory results remain disappointing.

Aim: Our work aims to describe the methods of surgical management, its motor and sensory results as well as its prognostic factors.

Indications and results of exotropia surgical management.

Aim: To study the clinical particularities and the surgical management of the different forms of exotropia, and to analyze the prognostic factors influencing the surgical result.

Methods: Medical records of 132 patients who underwent exotropia surgery from 1995 to 2015, were retrospectively reviewed. Ophthalmological examination and a complete sensorimotor assessment were performed for each patient.

Improvement in ocular symptoms and signs in patients with anterior blepharitis using a novel terpinen-4-ol (2.5%) and hyaluronic acid (0.2%) cleansing wipe.

To evaluate the clinical improvement in ocular symptoms and signs in patients suffering from anterior blepharitis after using a novel cleansing wipe impregnated with 2.5% terpinen-4-ol and 0.2% hyaluronic acid.

Antiglaucomatous treatments and ocular surface.

Background: the antiglaucomatous treatments interact with the ocular surface and can induce its alteration which may affect the therapeutic results Aim : to describe the interactions between the ocular surface and anti-glaucoma medications and to propose practical attitudes to prevent and manage this issue.

Methods: a retrospective study about 100 patients with a primary opened angle glaucoma treated with anti-glaucomatous drops containing preservatives. We performed an exhaustive examination of the ocular surface with fluorescein instillation to search superficial punctuate keratitis and to evaluate the break up time.

Unilateral proptosis revealing a fronto-ethmoidal mucocele.

Unlabelled: Backgroud: The fronto-ethmoidal mucocele is a benign condition leading commonly to limited eye movement or ocular pain but it could also induce visual acuity impairment by compressing the optic nerve Aim: To discuss, through a case report, different ophthalmologic manifestations of the fronto-ethmoidalmucocele. Reported case: A 46-years-old man with no general history consulted for a bilateral ocular redness and itching. He reported, however, a mild protrusion of his left globe evolving for oneyear.

A randomized, controlled study of the efficacy and safety of a new eyedrop formulation for moderate to severe dry eye syndrome.

Purpose: This study compared the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid (HA)-trehalose, a new eyedrop containing trehalose (a natural bioprotectant) and HA, to an established formulation containing only HA.

Methods: This was a phase III, randomized, active-controlled, investigator-masked, multicenter study in France and Tunisia. In all, 105 adult patients (≥18 years) with moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED) received either HA-trehalose (n = 52) or HA (n = 53) 3-6 times per day for 84 days.

Efficacy and safety of preservative-free latanoprost eyedrops, compared with BAK-preserved latanoprost in patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

Aim: To compare efficacy (intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction) and safety of preservative-free latanoprost (T2345) to benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-preserved latanoprost (BPL; Xalatan) in ocular hypertension (OHT) or primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Methods: Prospective, international, multicentre, randomised, investigator-masked, parallel-group trial. After a wash-out period, POAG or OHT patients, previously managed by BPL monotherapy, randomly received T2345 or BPL (one drop into the affected eye(s)) once daily from D0 to D84.

Efficacy and safety of azithromycin 1.5% eye drops for purulent bacterial conjunctivitis in pediatric patients.

Background: Purulent bacterial conjunctivitis affects all ages with high frequency in newborns and children. In a subset of 150 children included in a large study having enrolled 1043 patients, our aim was to analyze in children, the efficacy and safety of azithromycin 1.5% eye-drops in the treatment of this disease.

Incontinentia pigmenti: a rare cause of retinal vasculitis in children.

Background: Incontinentia pigmenti is a genetic disease with cutaneous, dental, neurologic and ophthalmologic manifestations. Ocular changes are very varied. Retinal vasculitis is uncommon, but can be observed in this disease.

[Ocular findings in megaloblastic anemia associated with diabetes. A case report].

Ocular involvements of Biermer's anaemia are rarely reported in literature. We present a case of Biermer's anaemia associated with diabetes. Ocular examination showed important conjinctival paleness, diffuse retinal ischemia, Roth's tasks, macular oedema and ischemic optic neuropathy.

[Lofgren syndrome revealed by eyelid tumor].

Introduction: The Lofgren syndrom is a particular variety of sarcoidose. The ocular attack is dominated in this syndrome by anterior uveitis. More rarely the eyelids and the orbitary structures are attached.
