Methods: Thirty-six eyes of 18 patients with GO and 36 eyes of 18 age-matched control subjects were included in this retrospective observational study. All the subjects underwent a complete ophthalmological evaluation, including clinical activity score (CAS) and exophthalmometry.
Purpose: To evaluate the rate and onset of intraoperative and postoperative complications post-phacoemulsification.
Methods: One hundred sixty-two eyes of 145 patients with uveitis who underwent phacoemulsification between 2006 and 2009 were identified through surgical record review. Fifty-nine eyes of 46 patients met the inclusion criteria.
Aim: To assess the attitude and practice of contact lens (CL) wearers among teenage school students and to evaluate how much the teenagers adhere to the CL care procedures according to the proper care of CL guidelines.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of Italian teenagers from high schools in Rome who wear CL. We inquired about the different aspects of CL care through a questionnaire.
Purpose: To describe the frequencies and risk factors of ocular complications and poor visual outcomes in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study, including 69 consecutive children (116 eyes) affected by JIA-associated uveitis managed at a tertiary uveitis clinic.
Results: The incidence of visual loss to the 20/50 or worse threshold was 0.
Background: Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome is an uncommon, severe form of retinitis that is caused by the herpes virus family. Bilateral acute retinal necrosis (BARN) at delayed onset is rare.
Methods: A retrospective, interventional case is described in a 64-year-old man complaining of blurred vision in the left eye.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the occurrence and characteristics of luetic uveitis (eye inflammation caused by syphilis) at a uveitis center over seven years.
- Researchers analyzed cases from 2004 to 2010, focusing on serological evidence for syphilis and ensuring patients were tested for HIV.
- They found 14 new cases, with a notable number co-infected with HIV, emphasizing that eye inflammation can be a primary symptom of syphilis and the need for timely diagnosis.
