Objective: To evaluate possible changes of vitreous status in emmetropic eyes after uneventful phacoemulsification surgery, and possible related complications such as the onset of retinal detachment (RD).
Design: Retrospective case series.
Participants: Four hundred fifty-three emmetropic eyes from 453 patients (mean age, 62.
Purpose: To evaluate the neural conduction along crossed and uncrossed visual pathways in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: Fifteen patients (mean age 59.1+/-6.
Neurotrophic keratopathy is a degenerative corneal disease induced by an impairment of trigeminal nerve. Impairment of loss of corneal sensory innervation is responsible for corneal epithelial defects, ulcer, and perforation. In the present report, we reviewed the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic aspects of this disease.

Methods: Sixteen unrelated patients with STD/FF (age, 26-52 years; visual acuity, 0.2-1.
Objective: [corrected] To correlate the nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness and the visual function evaluated by electrophysiologic retinal and cortical responses assessed in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) eyes.
Design: Prospective case-control study.
Participants: Thirty glaucoma patients (mean age, 47.
Objectives: To evaluate visual electrophysiological responses in subjects with cerebral autosomal arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).
