Morphometric parameters of the optic disc in normal and glaucomatous eyes based on time-domain optical coherence tomography image analysis.

Background And Objective: Assessment of optic disc morphology is essential in diagnosis and management of visual impairment. The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between optic disc morphometric parameters, i.e.

Bilateral endogenous bacterial panophthalmitis.

We present a case of meningitis with bilateral endogenous bacterial panophthalmitis in a previously healthy individual. The management of this ocular condition is unclear, and the prognosis is poor. The patient was admitted to the Clinic of Eye Diseases after a 9-day treatment with systemic antibiotics with a complete systemic recovery but impaired vision of both eyes.

Correlations between digital planimetry and optical coherence tomography, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in assessment of optic disc parameters.

Objective And Aim: In routine clinical practice, laser methods for the evaluation of optic disc parameters are expensive and not accessible for all ophthalmologists; therefore, there is a need for less expensive technique. The aim of this study was to assess correlations between the parameters of the optic disc measured by digital planimetry (DP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO) in healthy and glaucoma patients with the normal biometric parameters of the eye.

Material And Methods: This case-control study enrolled 40 patients with glaucoma and 32 healthy patients with the normal biometric parameters of the eye.

The use of information technologies for diagnosis in ophthalmology.

In 2003, a health IT programme for clinical decision support started in Lithuania. An initial goal was to create databases for ophthalmology images and to develop processing algorithms to extract diagnostically valuable information from images. We have investigated how vectors, consisting of the parameters derived from fundus images, are distributed and whether they form specific groups.

An assessment of telemedicine possibilities in massive casualties situations.

The use of existing possibilities of Telemedicine Center of Kaunas University of Medicine allows the live distant consultations from high-level medical specialised centers to rural areas. On July 2004 the Telemedicine Center took part in the RESCUER/MEDCEUR project exercise. A special objective was the use of telemedicine facilities for distant consultations and sorting of victims directly at the event place.
