Objective: To evaluate the consonance betweenthe Goldman and pneumática planation to nometers under the effect of the water drink test. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study consisting of a sample of 102 eyes from a private hospital in Goiânia (GO) from 2013 to 2015,with na evaluation of different intraocular pressures (IOP) in the Goldman and pneumatic flattening to nometers when submitted to TSH. Results: The average age was 52.17 (± 15.21) years old, 60.8% of the patients were female and 39.2% were […]

Objetivo: identificar a prevalência dos distúrbios mais comuns em pacientes do Serviço de Visão Subnormal do Centro de Referência de Oftalmologia (CEROF – UFG). Método: Foram avaliados 713 registros de pacientes, t odos apresentavam erros refrativos corrigidos. Coletaram-se dois elementos: melhor acuidade visual corrigida (MAVC) no melhor olho e o diagnóstico da doença oftalmológica responsável pela deficiência visual. Todos os grupos etários foram incluídos, sem distinção entre sexo ou raça. Resultados: As doenças mais prevalentes foram distrofias retinianas hereditárias (124 […]

Objective: Treatment with anti-angiogenic drugs is one of the most widely used modalities of treatment of macular edema related conditions. Intravitreal injection of a VEGF-A inhibitor is highly effective, but is related to adverse effects such as increased intraocular pressure. The objective of this study was to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) variation in patients who underwent intravitreal injections of ranibizumab, variation according to phakic/aphakic and history of previous injections. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study. All patients submitted to […]

Objetivo: Comparar a previsibilidade dos resultados refracionais e da biometria em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata por facoemulsificação com e sem trabeculectomia (Trec) associada. Métodos: Pacientes com catarata submetidos à cirurgia de facoemulsificação isolada (grupo controle) ou associada a Trec (catarata + glaucoma, grupo estudo) foram consecutivamente selecionados. Todas as cirurgias foram feitas seguindo protocolo padrão. Para inclusão, era necessário apresentar biometria calculada pelo biômetro IOL Master (Carl Zeiss, Meditec, Inc), refração e pressão intraocular (Pio) pré e pós-operatórios. […]

Objective: The main purpose of this article is to compare the predictability of biometric results and final refractive outcomes expected in patients undergoing cataract surgery through phacoemulsification with and without associated trabeculectomy. Methods: Cataract patients who have undergone phacoemulsification surgery alone (control group) or associated with trabeculectomy (study group) screened. All surgeries were performed following standard protocol. For enrollment, biometrics calculated by IOL Master (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.) biometry, refraction and intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after surgery were required. […]

Objectives: To describe and analyze the profile of children with developmental disorders treated at early intervention services (IP) and their mothers or caregivers, focusing on aspects related to the child’s ocular health. Methods: Quantitative survey, exploratory-descriptive. The data collection instrument consisted of a questionnaire applied with mothers or caregivers of children assisted in IP services. The data were transcribed in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed based on simple descriptive statistics. The sample consisted of 273 subjects. Results: There was a […]

Objective: Therapeutic evaluation of Bevacizumab application in relapsed pterygium concerning visual acuity, keratometry, refraction, symptomatology. Methods: Group 1 (4 patients) received 0.1 ml of Bevacizumab (avastin), being evaluated posteriorly on the tenth and thirtieth days after the application, seeking to compare with the exam previously made, being it realized with the other two groups, in which Group 2 (4 patients) received 0.2 ml of Bevacizumab and the Group 3 (3 patients) received 1 ml of the placebo injection. Results: In […]

Purpose: To perform an epidemiological study of eye diseases in the population of four indigenous communities in the City of Avai in the state of São Paulo – Brazil: Ekeruá, Kopenoti, Nimuendaju and Tereguá. Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional, population-based study performed by the Medical Residency Program of the Center of Excellence in Ophthalmology (CEO-Bauru), including all the inhabitants of four indigenous tribes, between the months of March and April 2016. All participants were submitted to a complete eye […]
