[Cornea in diabetus mellitus].

Diabetus mellitus is associated with numerous ocular complications. Diabetic keratopathy occurs in response to a neuropathy of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve, but also as a result of epithelial subclinical abnormalities, limbal vasculopathy and decrease in tear production. It comprises several symptomatic corneal conditions inducing superficial punctate keratopathy and persistent corneal epithelial erosions; the latter can progress to corneal ulceration and is often resistant to routine clinical management.

[Glomus tumor with diplopia].

Patient's medical history reveals several symptoms like headaches, progressive hearing loss on right side and dysphonia for which all investigations proved irrelevant. Thourough clinical examination, lab exams and imaging techniques revealed the cause for this symptoms i.

[Interpretation of visual field with Humphrey Zeiss Analyser].

In the beginning of the article where are defined the notions of the soft of automated perimetry: threshold, kind of tests, the strategy of automated perimetry. Then are shown the steps of automated perimetry interpretation: kind of test and strategy, evaluation of patient reliability, interpretation of the visual field defects (artifacts or no) and statistical analysis.

[Ocular injuries due to allergic mechanism].

The paper presents the main ocular injuries due to allergic mechanism and it point out the actual data about etiopathogenesis of type 1 hypersensitivity and immunologic mechanism involved in allergic keratoconjunctivitis. Then are exposed the classification of ocular allergy, the main signs and symptoms, the paraclinical methods of diagnosis and the actual agents of therapy.
