Unlabelled: Cyclodestructive procedures are an alternative of surgical treatment of medically refractory glaucoma.

Aim: To assess efficiency and safety of diode cyclophotocoagulation (CPC).

Methods: Retrospective study included 81 eyes with advanced glaucoma operated with CPC for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) from January 2017 to January 2019.

Prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of patients with diabetic retinopathy in Slovakia: 12-month results from the DIARET SK study.

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Slovakian patients with Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in the DIARET SK study.

Results of pars plana vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with PVR grades A and B in high-myopic eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) without adjuvant buckling procedures for the primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with PVR grades A and B in high-myopic eyes.

Methods: A retrospective review included 291 eyes treated for primary RRD from 2008 to 2016. The single surgery success rate (SSSR), the total number of surgeries, outcomes and complications were analysed between group of 67 eyes with high axial myopia (group A) and group of 224 eyes without high myopia (group B).

[Surgical Treatment for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane].

Aim: To assess effectiveness of surgical treatment for idiopathic epiretinal membrane.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study included on 44 eyes out of 46 patients operated for idiopathic ERM in OFTAL Zvolen with a 20G PPV (32 patients) and posterior vitreous membrane ablation and 23G PPV (14 patients) from August 2008 to December 2014. After the extraction of epiretinal membrane, a peeling of ILM has been implemented following its Blue Membrane identification.

[Retinal tamponade with silicone oil - long term results].

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency and efficacy of silicone oil (SO) retinal tamponade in various retinal diseases. The incidence of silicone oil tamponade according to individual indications, incidence of complications and duration of tamponade were evaluated in the study.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study included 510 eyes that were operated on pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) from January 2010 to December 2012.

[New possibilities screening of refractive errors among children].

[Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and its treatment].

We have analyzed the surgery results of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) on 73 patients (76 eyes) operated on in 2000. Retinal reattachment was achieved on 59 eyes (77.6%) without silicone oil tamponade (SO) and on 17 eyes (22.
