THE ROLE OF SYSTEMIC BLOOD PRESSURE IN GLAUCOMA PROGRESSION.

The present paper aims to highlight the role of arterial hypotension in the progression of glaucoma. The data analyzed in this study was collected in a prospective manner for a period of one year, from september 2013 to august 2014. It includes newly diagnosed glaucoma patients treated with prostaglandin analogues and who have presented within normal range values of intraocular pressure during the study.

[Malignant hypertension--case report].

The authors present the case of a 25 year old man who presented in our clinic because of an important decreasing of his visual acuity at AO (OS > OD) which had installed progressively 3 months before his presentation. After the FAO examination there were found important changes with the bilateral presence of the papilledema, macular edema, hemorrhages in flame on the route of big vessels and the presence of multiple hard and soft exudates. After the clinical examination, it was found the presence of arterial hypertension TA = 240/140.

[Comparative study of endothelial changes in cataract surgery with phacoemulsification technique].

Purpose: The comparative analysis of the corneal endothelium modifications (density, pleiomorphism and poly-megetism) appeared as a result of the phacoemulsification through divide and conquer (D-C) respectively phaco-chop (P-C) technique.

Material And Method: One year prospective, observational and interventional clinical study on 60 eyes with cataract surgery through phacoemulsification by the same surgeon. They were split in 2 groups of study according to the hardness of the cataract (Group A-30 eyes with the hardness of the cataract 3+ and Group B-30 eyes with the hardness of the cataract 4+).

[Conjunctival nevus--clinical case].

The authors present the case of a four-year-old patient who came to our clinic because of a tumor formation localized at the sclero-corneal level. The ophthalmologic examination resulted in the diagnosis of conjunctival malignant melanoma and the decision for excision was made. The postoperative anatomo-pathologic examination disproved the malignant character of the lesion and established the diagnosis of conjunctival nevus.

[Irido-corneal dysgenesis, Axenfeld Rieger syndrome].

The authors present the case of a patient diagnosed with the syndrome A-R, which was discovered at the age of nineteen during a medical examination at the Ophthalmology Clinic in order to establish his medico-military situation. The youngster's mother presents the same anomaly, fact which demonstrates the hereditary transmission of this disease. It must also be mentioned the fact that when he was diagnosed, the patient presented a relatively good visual acuity, that he had not developed secondary glaucoma and besides he associated the presence of bilateral hypoacusis.
