Parallels between the clinical diagnosis, immunological parameters of the leukocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) to eye tissue antigens (uveoretinal, lenticular, and retinal), and morphological picture are studied in patients with posttraumatic uveitis and consequences of grave penetrating injuries to the eye without uveitis symptoms. Cell sensitization to uveoretinal antigen is detected only in posttraumatic uveitis but not in consequences of injuries without uveitis. The authors come to a conclusion that only positive LMIT with uveoretinal or a combination of uveoretinal and lenticular antigens may be considered as an immunological validation of autoimmune posttraumatic uveitis. Further improvement of LMIT with purified fractions of uveoretinal antigens is needed.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the group at highest risk for autoimmune inflammation through a comparative analysis among patients with chronic post-traumatic uveitis (CPTU).
Material And Methods: The clinical group included 50 patients (aged 18 to 87 years, mean age 41±2.6 years) with CPTU resulting from penetrating injury, contusion, or intraocular surgery.

Purpose: The study attempts to characterize immunomorphological disorders at different degrees of post-traumatic subatrophy of the eyeball.
Material And Methods: The study included 123 patients with blind and unpromising eyes, eyeball subatrophy of various degrees, who were divided into three groups (1, 2 and 3) depending on the degree of eyeball subatrophy.
Results: The greatest risk of autoimmune inflammation was observed in patients with degree I subatrophy.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of eye diseases in draft horses across the U.S., examining a diverse range of breeds and ages.
- A total of 165 draft horses were evaluated; results showed that while 5.5% had vision-threatening conditions, 33.9% had non-vision-threatening ocular issues, including minor cataracts and other eye abnormalities.
- Notably, linear keratopathy was more common in draft horses compared to other breeds, though it wasn't linked to concurrent serious eye diseases.

Secondary open-angle glaucomas are a heterogeneous group of diseases in which a variety of pathophysiological mechanisms result in an elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). In contrast to primary open-angle glaucoma in many cases besides IOP reduction a causal treatment is possible. This article is the second part of a review of the more frequently encountered forms of secondary open-angle glaucoma.
