Subcyclo laser procedure results in patients with glaucoma.

To analyse the results of subCyclo (subliminal transscleral cyclophotocoagulation) laser procedure for patients with glaucoma. The study included 50 eyes of 32 patients diagnosed with various subtypes of glaucoma for which we performed subliminal transscleral cyclophotocoagulation under retrobulbar anesthesia. After the procedure, all patients were advised to continue their antiglaucoma medication until further notice and we added a topical steroid for 2 weeks.

An atypical case of post surgery macular edema -Case report.

The article presents an atypical case of bilateral postoperative macular edema, with an unfavorable outcome, however considering the treatment options and ways to prevent this complication.

Refractive results with the use of AT.Lisa intraocular lens (2008-2015).

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the refractive results on a large cohort of patients who were implanted spherical or toric multifocal IOL's for cataract surgery or for refractive purpose. Preoperative refractive investigations included auto refractometer topography, pentacam, contact and noncontact biometry and many non-refractive investigations. The target in multifocal IOL usage was emmetropia and it was achieved in most cases.

Smile--the next generation of laser vision correction.

Our paper is an introduction in this new generation of Laser vision correction, called SMILE. It also reveals our experience in the past year, since we started to perform this new procedure in our patients. Small Incision Lenticule Extraction technique is the 3rd generation of Laser vision correction that completely redefines refractive surgery.

REFRACTIVE SURGERY FOR HIGH AMETROPIES, A FEW CONCLUSIONS.

This paper presents a few clinical cases of patients with high ametropies and/or anisometropia, who underwent one or two surgical procedures in our clinic, in order to obtain independence of glasses or contact lenses. Twenty cases of high ametropies were included in our study, with or without astigmatism, with transparent lenses, who presented in our clinic for surgical treatment to correct their refractive errors. Postoperatively, we analyzed the results and took decisions for each case in particular; sometimes a second surgical procedure was needed.

Old and new in exploring the anterior chamber angle.

Angle-closure glaucoma includes a number of entities with closed angle, elevated intraocular pressure, in association with optic nerve damage and visual field defects as common markers. These entities are characterized by irido-trabecular apposition, irido-trabecular synechiae or both. The angle configuration must be systematically checked at least one time in patients presenting with raised intraocular pressure or glaucoma.

[Pseudoexfoliative glaucoma].

Secondary open-angle glaucoma, characterized by the deposition of whitish, fibrillar material within the structures of the anterior segment of the eye.

Why we use AT.Lisa multifocals?

In this paper, the authors try to motivate their preference for implanting AT.Lisa Multifocals from all other premium IOL's from the market. It is emphasized, through clinical examples, that their choice comes after a long experience with this type of mul- tifocals IOL's.

Orbital complications of fungal pan-sinusitis in uncontrolled diabetes.

The purpose of our clinical case presentation is to emphasize the role of ear, nose and throat specialist in early recognition and urgent treatment of mucormycosis, which is a rare infection caused by fungus belonging to the order Mucorales. They are known opportunistic organisms, which potentially invade and infect a host with depressed immunity. In our paper we present a case of an uncontrolled diabetic male with orbital complications caused by a fungal pan-sinusitis.

[Corneal endothelium in glaucoma].

It is a clinical, observational, retrospective, randomised study, performed on 34 eyes with hipertensive primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) drug equilibrated and 18 eyes with normotensive POAG. We have evaluated the endothelial cells number variation in the hypertensive POAG and normotensive POAG.

[Diagnostic criteria in acute neuromyelitis].

Neuromyelitis optica, also known as Devic disease, was identified in the 19th century, is one of the inflammatory idiopathic demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, often mistaken for severe multiple sclerosis. In 1999 it had been proposed diagnostic criteria for neuromyelitis optica, but in 2006 these criteria were revised by Dean Wingerchuck. These criteria are 99% sensitive and 90% specific for differentiating neuromyelitis optica from multiple sclerosis that present with optic neuritis or a myelitis syndrome.

[Surgery of the oblique muscles].

The principles of surgery of the oblique muscles are different from those of the rectus muscles according to their anatomy and physiology. Their exposure is difficult as they are inserted on the sclera behind the equator and because they form an angle of 51s with the visual axis they have a triple action. The types of procedures one can practice on the oblique muscles are: weakening and strengthening of their actions.
