Acute conjunctivitis, one of the most frequently seen eye diseases in infants and children, is associated with a shorter duration of clinical disease when antimicrobial agents are used. Although viruses often are implicated as causative agents, Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the most commonly isolated bacterial pathogens. Empiric therapy of acute conjunctivitis therefor...

purpose: to report a case of proteus syndrome with new ophthalmic findings not reported elsewhere. patient and findings: the patient is an 18-year-old girl with red lesions on hand and foot from birth and disproportionate growth of right upper and lower limbs from the first year of life. on examination, the patient has enlargement of the right upper and lower limb, macrodactyly, vascular malfor...

Various aqueous and oily diclofenac ophthalmic formulations were subjected to accelerated and long term stability studies. Degradation of diclofenac was found to follow first-order kinetics. Among the aqueous formulations containing preservative, formulation with PMA, PMN, SA, MP/PP and SMS showed diclofenac content above 90% after 6 months of accelerated and 12 months of room temperature stora...

Poor bioavailability is one of the most significant problems in delivery ocular drug system. Ophthalmic ointments, solutions and suspensions are frequently used dosage forms to treat disease, their effectiveness as a compromised by several limitations that lead poor bioavailability. In situ gel promising strategy improve drugs. The purpose this review discuss formulation characterization gel. T...

Unfortunately, visual impairment is a global and ubiquitous health problem. Thus far, there are a number of ophthalmology journals and hundreds of other journals that publish articles related to visual sciences to overcome the ocular problems and find novel solution and control of ophthalmic diseases as well as improve quality of life. Moreover, specialized ophthalmic hypotheses journal does no...

A 10-year-old female spayed American Pitt Bull Terrier was presented with a slow growing mass on the temporal limbus area of the right eye. Canine nodular granulomatous episclerokeratitis was suspected, and the affected eye was treated with 1% prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension and 0.03% Tacrolimus ophthalmic solution. As the lesion did not respond to the medical treatments and continue...

Voriconazole (VRC) incorporated in composited polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) blended nanofibers were produced via electrospinning for efficient ophthalmic delivery. The VRC loading capacity increased with increasing HPβCD content. The optimal solution for electrospinning consisted of 8% (w/v) PVA, 4% (w/v) HPβCD and 0.5% (w/v) VRC. The nanofibers exhibited bead-fre...
