The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical course of retinitis pigmentosa taking into consideration models of inheritance and possible treatment. Retinitis pigmentosa belongs to heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders, which are connected with gradual loss of the photoreceptor function, firstly rod cells subsequently cones, which is accompanied by the retinal pigmentary epithelium disorder. Retinitis pigmentosa connected with X chromosome is one of the most severe form of this disease that in polish population takes place with frequency at average 10-15% which is similar to ADRP--10-20%.

Material And Methods: The studied group consist of 135 patients subjected to cataract surgery; 75 patients (75 eyes) had extracapsular cataract extraction with 12 mm corneoscleral incision (group I); 30 patients (30 eyes) had phacoemulsification with 3.5 mm corneal incision (group II); 30 patients (30 eyes) had phacoemulsification with 3.
Unlabelled: The purpose of the study was to check the difference in eye axial length before and after cataract surgery and to find out the possible correlation with refraction changes. The axial length was measured by ultrasound before and after cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. Keratometry measurements were also performed.

Purpose: To check whether three months' follow-up is sufficient to determine endothelial cell loss after cataract surgery and whether this value depends on preoperative central endothelial cell density.
Methods: A two-year prospective assessment of central endothelial cell density was done in 60 eyes after phacoemulsification. In 30 eyes a 3.
Purpose: To measure the vWF antigen concentration (vWF Ag) in subretinal fluid (SRF) and blood plasma.
Methods: Prospective study of 30 patients, aged from 15 to 78 years (mean 52.7 years), undergoing retinal detachment surgery.
Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate perioperative changes in protein C antigen (PC Ag) in patients undergoing retinal detachment surgery under general or local anesthesia.
Material And Methods: Prospective study of 39 patients: 27 patients, 14 male, 13 female, age from 15 to 78 (mean: 50.8, SD=18.
Purpose: To study the thrombin generation in plasma and subretinal fluid (SRF) by evaluation of thrombin-antithrombin III complexes (TAT) and antithrombin III (AT III) activity in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Material And Methods: Prospective study of 54 patients subjected to retinal detachment surgery. Patients with vein or arterial disease and with other factors which could change evaluated parameters were excluded.

Purpose: To evaluate perioperative changes in fibrinolysis in patients undergoing retinal detachment surgery under general or local anesthesia.
Patients: Prospective study of 81 patients (43 male, 38 female), aged from 15 to 82 (mean 50.7 SD = 17.
