Optical Coherence Tomography in the Differential Diagnosis of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Patients with MRI Nonspecific White Matter Lesions.

In the differential diagnosis of nonspecific white matter lesions (NSWMLs) detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), multiple sclerosis (MS) should be taken into consideration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising tool applied in the differential diagnostic process of MS. We tested whether OCT may be useful in distinguishing between MS and NSWMLs patients.

Contrast sensitivity assessment in primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Introduction: Contrast sensitivity assessment is an important additional examination, which enables the full insight into the patient's quality of vision, and early diagnosis of visual disturbances.

Material And Methods: Forty six patients (92 eyes) with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were enrolled in the study. The enrolment criteria were full or almost full visual acuity and the patients with visual field defects or any other ocular disease were excluded.

Evaluation of contrast sensitivity measurements after retrobulbar optic neuritis in Multiple Sclerosis.

Background: The evaluation of contrast sensitivity is an important additional examination that allows the physician to achieve the full picture of a patient's quality of vision. In low-contrast conditions, more discrete visual dysfunctions may be revealed, which could be overlooked in high-contrast tests.

Methods: The examined group consisted of 33 eyes of 27 patients with multiple sclerosis.

[Treatment of traumatic iris defects].

Introduction: Treating traumatic iris defects is still an important therapeutic problem. Various therapeutic strategies are possible, depending on the etiology of the defect, its size or localization, as well as other coexisting defects of ocular structures.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to describe various possible traumatic iris defects, as well as different methods of iris defect repair.
