Unlabelled: To evaluate the influence of vaccination programs on the incidence of idiopathic optic neuritis.
Material: 359 questionnaired patients with idiopathic optic neuritis hospitalized in the Department of Ophthalmology in Bydgoszcz and in the province of Bydgoszcz in the period from 1978 to 1997. Control group included 264 persons with no history of optic neuritis.
Results: Vaccinated persons were significantly (p = 0.01) rarely affected by this disease.
Conclusion: The study revealed the positive correlation between lack of vaccination (according to vaccination program) and the incidence of idiopathic optic neuritis.

Examining the Time to Diagnosis in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Presentations in a Specialist Eye Emergency Department.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological disorder characterized by chronic headaches, cognitive difficulties, reduced quality of life, and rarely irreversible visual loss. Community diagnosis is often challenging due to unfamiliarity with current guidelines and a lack of clinical experience, leading to misdiagnosis and treatment delays, which can negatively impact visual recovery and quality of life. Our study examined the time to diagnosis and investigated the barriers to timely diagnosis in adults with newly diagnosed IIH.

Background: Adalimumab is an effective treatment for juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis. Data are scarce on the effects of discontinuing adalimumab after control of the disease had been reached. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of discontinuing treatment in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis.

The abnormal growth of irregular new blood vessels into the subretinal or intraretinal space is known as macular neovascularization (MNV). People over 50 are often affected by this disorder, which is typically brought on by age-related macular degeneration. In addition, MNV can be found in people under 50 years of age, who may present primary ophthalmic diseases such as pathological myopia, angioid streaks, traumatic choroidal rupture, or suspected ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

Background/objectives: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disease which threatens vision and causes disabling headaches, affecting women of childbearing age with obesity. It is characterised by raised intracranial pressure (ICP), measured invasively either with lumbar punctures or intracranially-inserted monitors. There is an unmet clinical need to develop non-invasive means to assess ICP.

Background: Anterior uveitis is a common manifestation in individuals with rheumatic conditions such as spondylarthritis, Behçet's syndrome, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and sarcoidosis. Clinical differentiation between granulomatous and non-granulomatous corneal endothelial exudates is crucial to subsequent diagnosis and treatment. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can ensure an accurate differential diagnosis and appropriate follow-up after local and systemic therapy.
