Evaluation of Clinical Results of Implantation of Toric Intraocular Lenses Including their Rotational Stability.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical results of the implantation of the toric intraocular lens Acrysof IQ Toric SN6AT3_8 (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA), including an evaluation of its rotational stability.

Material And Methods: 30 eyes of 16 patients (4 males, 12 females; mean age 68 years) with regular corneal astigmatism ranging from -1.

Comparison of Three Methods of Tonometry in Patients with Inactive Thyroid-Associated Orbitopathy.

Introduction: Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement in patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) can be difficult and misleading, particularly in patients with diplopia and eye deviation (esotropia or hypotropia). However, when measuring IOP, it is also necessary to pay sufficient attention to TAO patients without diplopia in primary gaze direction and without motility disorder that might not be readily apparent.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) using three different types of tonometers: the rebound tonometer (iCARE), the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and the non-contact airpuff tonometer (NCT) in patients with inactive TAO.

ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION OF THE ORBIT IN PATIENTS WITH THYROIDASSOCIATED ORBITOPATHY - EXAMINATION GUIDE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EVERYDAY PRACTICE. A REVIEW.

The purpose of this study is to present the possibilities and benefits of ultrasonography (US) of the orbit in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroidassociated orbitopathy (TAO). Methods: US examination of the orbit is an essential addition to clinical and laboratory examination in TAO patients. Nevertheless, it is often neglected in clinical practice or indicated with delay.

Floppy iris syndrome associated with specific medication intake: A narrative review.

Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) is a cataract surgery complication that remains a challenge for eye surgeons. It is caused by the antagonism of alfa-1-adrenergic receptors within the dilator muscle of the iris, thus preventing the iris from dilation during a cataract surgery. The long-term blocking alfa-1 adrenergic receptors by the chronic use of a number of systemic medications may lead to permanent anatomical atrophy of the dilator muscle of the iris.

Hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and thrombophilia as the most common risk factors for retinal vein occlusion in patients under 50 years.

Background And Aims: Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the most common risk factors (RFs) for retinal vein occlusion (RVO) development in general. The aim of this study was to identify the most frequent causes of RVO in patients under 50.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a group of patients with RVO under 50 years.
