Objective: We describe a novel TTR mutation with vitreous opacities and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Materials And Methods: A 78 year-old woman with vitreous opacities, her daughter with dry eye syndrome, and brother with carpal tunnel syndrome were tested for a mutation in the TTR gene. The vitreous opacities were removed and stained with Congo red and immunohistochemistry against wild type TTR.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the results of cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) with the transscleral contact red 670-nm diode laser in treating glaucoma.
Methods: Cyclophotocoagulation was performed in 60 eyes of 60 patients with a mean age of 74 +/- 11 years (range 49-90 years). The treatment was delivered via a fibre-optic probe.
Purpose: To evaluate transscleral contact red-laser cyclophotocoagulation (CPC), using a visible red 647-nm krypton or 670-nm diode laser and limited transscleral anterior retinal cryocoagulation in neovascular glaucoma.
Methods: In a retrospective case series, 35 eyes of 35 consecutive patients treated during a period of 6 years were included in the study. Inclusion was dependent on follow-up of at least 1 month.
Purpose: To examine the effect of 670-nm diode laser cyclophotocoagulation on corneal morphology, density of corneal subbasal nerves, corneal mechanical sensitivity, and the rate of tear fluid secretion in human eyes.
Patients And Methods: Transscleral contact cyclophotocoagulation was performed in 10 eyes of 10 consecutive patients on 180 degrees of the pars plicata of the ciliary body, using a 670-nm diode laser (power = 430 mW, application time = 10 seconds). In vivo confocal microscopy, with special attention to corneal morphology and the density of the subbasal nerves in the central and inferior perilimbal cornea, was performed preoperatively, and at 3 days and 1 month postoperatively.
