Modern Technologies in Diagnosis of Fungal Keratitis (Review).

Traumas and infectious diseases of the eye play a leading role in the development of corneal blindness responsible for 1.5-2 million cases of vision loss per year. To date, the issue of reducing the incidence of fungal keratitis is acute and needs to be solved worldwide.

[Clinical phenotypes of optic nerve damage in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder].

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) comprise a group of autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system that manifest as optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. Its manifestation in the form of optic neuritis makes early diagnosis difficult because neuroimaging of the spinal cord is not a part of the routine examination algorithm for such patients. This article presents the results of a comprehensive ophthalmological examination of 4 patients (8 eyes) diagnosed with NMSOD.

[Capabilities of optical coherence tomography in examination of senile scleral plaques].

Unlabelled: Senile scleral plaque (SSP) is a degenerative disease of the sclera manifested by the appearance of gray spots with clearly defined borders anteriorly from the insertion site of horizontal rectus muscles. Even with minimal changes over time changes over time are minor, SSP weakens the structural function of the sclera and creates a risk of a complicated course associated with scleromalacia. Interest in the study of SSP is increasing due to the growing number of transscleral intravitreal injections.

[Anterior stromal micropuncture for the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial graft defects after penetrating keratoplasty].

Persistent corneal graft erosion or persistent epithelial corneal defect is a frequent complication of penetrating keratoplasty. Its development can be contributed by the dry eye syndrome, rare blinking, lagophthalmos, symblepharon, viral infection, autoimmune aggression, and the use of epithelial-toxic eye drops. The article presents three clinical observations of patients who developed persistent corneal graft erosion after penetrating keratoplasty.

[Intraocular lens power in Russian population: distribution analysis].

Unlabelled: Approximately 470 thousand cases of cataract surgery with implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) are performed annually in Russia. The distribution of IOL power in the Russian population has not been studied sufficiently, which makes the IOL procurement planning imperfect.

Purpose: To analyze the distribution of implanted IOL power and optimize the IOL procurement system.

[Papillomacular retinoschisis associated with glaucoma].

Peripapillary and macular retinoschisis is one of the rare manifestations of advanced glaucoma of different types. The article presents a case report and a mini-review. Peripapillary and macular retinoschisis with visual deterioration was diagnosed in a patient with advanced decompensated open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

[Fungal keratitis after penetrating keratoplasty].

The article presents a case of fungal keratitis after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). A 35-years old patient had previously undergone surgical removal of an intraocular foreign body and developed chronic keratouveitis and epithelial-endothelial corneal dystrophy. PKP and early postoperative period were uneventful.

[Complications of intracameral cefuroxime in cataract surgery].

Intracameral injection of cefuroxime during phacoemulsification is considered effective in preventing endophthalmitis. Its widespread usage has led to the accumulation of data on local and systemic adverse reactions. The analysis of complications of cataract surgery with cefuroxime injections described in literature has allowed identifying a few different clusters of toxic and allergic reactions to intracameral cefuroxime for the first time.

[Serous retinal detachment after phacoemulsification with intracameral cefuroxime (a case-control report)].

Unlabelled: Serous retinal detachment is a rare postoperative complication of phacoemulsification with intracameral antibiotics. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategy in such cases is not well known.

Purpose: To present a case of serous retinal detachment after phacoemulsification with intracameral cefuroxime.

[Spontaneous separation of secondary epiretinal membrane].

The article presents a rare clinical case of secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) in a 67-years-old woman. The patient was diagnosed with ERM in the left eye after loss of vision complaints. One year prior to the visit the patient had underwent 2 sessions of laser photocoagulation for proliferative post-thrombotic retinopathy in the left eye.

A Case of Secondary Epiretinal Membrane Spontaneous Release.

To report a rare case of secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) spontaneous separation with subsequent visual restoration. We are reporting a case with the history of branch retinal vein occlusion, peripheral retinal neovascularization, and retinal photocoagulation. Our examination revealed secondary ERM associated with relatively high visual acuity (0.

[Ophthalmic manifestations of Huntington's disease].

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene. The whole nervous system, including visual analyzer, is involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. Various ocular sings can be found in both preclinical and clinical stages of HD.
