This article reports a case of a female five years old child with rare syndrome of Wilderwanck wich consists in a association of KlippelFeil syndrome and Duane syndrome and auditive hypoacusia. Ocular examination reveals alterations of cervical column, bilateral abduction limitations, aduction limitation of right eye associated with enophthalmos, palpebral fissure decrease, anisotropia in A, lateroversions esotropia and bilateral neurosensorial auditive hypoacusia. Our patient reveal an association of Klippel-Feil Syndrome type II with bilateral Duane Syndrome.

The authors describe one case of diabetic papillopathy. They used an intravitreal triamcinolone as an option of treatment.

Pseudotumor cerebri is a syndrome of increased intra-cranial pressure without a space-occupying lesion or ventriculomegaly in a patient with normal level of conscience and normal cerebrospinal fluid constitution. The terminology for the disorder has changed over the years in accordance with advances in diagnostic technology and insights into the disease process. When no secondary cause is identified, the syndrome is termed idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Patients are not uncommonly seen by ophthamologists since they present with papiledema, double vision and visual […]

PURPOSE: Demonstrate the possibility of changing the biomechanical behaviour of cornea stroma by usage of riboflavin associated with non-ultraviolet light. METHODS: Double blind prospective study. Twenty five porcine eyes enucleated 24 hours before the experiment, have been divided on the following groups : Riboflavin 0,1% with irradiation of blue light, Riboflavin 0,1% without irradiation of light , Riboflavin 0,5% with irradiation of blue light, Riboflavin 0,5% without irradiation of light and BSS with irradiation of light. RESULTS: Differences where noticed […]

The exposure to ultraviolet radiation is associated with the beginning of ocular pathologies like keratites, cataract, age-related macular degeneration and pterygium. This radiation is divided in 3 bands according to the wave length: Uv-A (320-400), Uv-B (290-320), Uv-C (100-290). The optic industry developed ultraviolet filters to intraocular lenses, contact lenses and spectacle lenses. PURPOSE: The issue of this work is to estimate the efficacy of ultraviolet contact lenses with high hydration. METHODS: Six types of high hydrated contact lenses from […]

PURPOSE: Compare the wavefront and contrast sensitivity of bilateral pseudophakic patients with aspheric in one eye and spheric intraocular lenses in the other. METHODS: This prospective, comparative, randomized study, double masked, included 32 eyes of 16 patients. A complete ophthalmic evaluation was done before, and after surgery at days 1,3, 7 and 90, and included best corrected visual acuity, the contrast sensitivity, under photopic and mesopic conditions, and aberrometry. Almost all exams were done monocularly with undilated pupils (aberrometry under […]

PURPOSE: To better define the effect of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on myopic eyes and the risk and incidence of retinal complications after surgery. METHODS: In a prospective study, 200 eyes of 100 patients, 49 male and 51 female, with a mean age of 29.7 years, had a complete posterior pole examination before and at 1 week, 1, 3 and 12 months after bilateral simultaneous LASIK for the correction of myopia. Mean spherical equivalent was 7.75D (range 1.00 to […]
