Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cirrhosis on peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and choroidal thickness with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Methods: This cross sectional, single center study was undertaken at Bulent Ecevit University Ophthalmology department with the participation of internal medicine, Gastroenterology department. Patients who were treated with the diagnosis of cirrhosis (n=75) were examined in the ophthalmology clinic. Age and sex matched patients (n=50) who were healthy and met the inclusion, exclusion criteria were included in […]

Objective: To assess ocular biometric parameters by optical biometry and to observe a possible spherical refractive difference, as well as its variation based on estimated preoperative calculation and the spherical refraction post cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant (IOL). Methods: After reviewing 252 electronic medical records between 2013 and 2014, 117 adult patients (189 eyes) were selected.The patients underwent phacoemulsification with foldable IOL implantation by the same surgeon and were examined by IOLMaster® 500.The IOL power was calculated […]

Objetivo: Identificar níveis de autopercepção de desempenho ocupacional e qualidade de vida de indivíduos com deficiência visual e posterior análise de inter-relação entre os índices encontrados. Métodos: Estudo descritivo de corte transversal junto a pessoas com deficiência visual inscritas em programa de reabilitação visual. Foram utilizados os questionários COPM para mensuração da autopercepção de desempenho ocupacional, SF-36 para mensuração de níveis de qualidade de vida e questionário de investigação sociodemográfico e perfil dos sujeitos. Resultados: Vinte três sujeitos compuseram a […]

Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da cirrose na camada de fibras nervosas da retina e na espessura da coroide através da tomografia de coerência óptica com imagem de profundidade aprimorada. Métodos: Este estudo transversal, de único centro, foi realizado no departamento de Oftalmologia da Universidade Bulent Ecevit com a participação do departamento de medicina interna em gtastroenterologia. Os pacientes que foram tratados com o diagnóstico de cirrose (n = 75) foram examinados na clínica da oftalmologia. Foram incluídos pacientes correspondentes em […]

Objetivo: Conhecer a eficácia do teste com Cartões de Teller em complemento a avaliação da visão funcional em crianças préescolares com baixa visão e desenvolvimento normal ou atrasado. Métodos: Estudo transversal em pacientes do ambulatório de estimulação visual infantil do Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (HC/ FCM/Unicamp). A acuidade visual com a melhor correção óptica foi medida com Cartões de Teller e avaliação da visão funcional, independente do desenvolvimento da criança. Resultados: […]

Objective: Identify levels of self-perception of occupational performance and quality of life of individuals with visual impairment and subsequent analysis of the interrelationship between the indices found. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional survey with people with visual disabilities enrolled in visual rehabilitation program. COPM was applied to measure the self-perception of occupational performance, the SF-36 for quality of life measurement and a socio-demographic questionnaire to describe personal characteristics. Results. Twentythree subjects were included in the sample: 74% with low vision, 52.2% were […]

Objective: To study human corneal buttons with lymphangiogenesis through histopathological examination, together with the grafts of their preceding and subsequent transplantations, evaluating the time intervals for successive surgeries Methods: A descriptive, observational and longitudinal study of human corneal buttons that have lymphatic vessels, together with its preceding and subsequent transplants. Tissues were obtained from penetrating keratoplasty in the period between the years 2006 and 2013. After a medical records review in which information on the dates of the surgeries were […]

Objective: To analyze, in a university hospital of reference, the rate of a new penetrating corneal transplantation in patients that had previously undergone a tectonic keratoplasty and analyze the results after one year of surgery. Methods: Retrospective review of patients undergoing penetrating corneal transplantation, from november of 2010 to november of 2014. Comparative analysis of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure and corneal transparency before surgery and after one year, in the group of patients in which it was […]
