PURPOSE To describe the incidence of unilateral congenital cataract associated with minimal (ultrasonically undetectable) levels of persistent fetal vasculature in the first 18 months of the life and to report surgical methods for intraocular lens implantation, using 25-gauge vitrectomy system. METHODS Retrospective review was made on 16 consecutive patients with bilateral or unilateral conge...

(1) We studied the influence of photoperiod and unilateral lid suture on post-natal ocular growth in two types of White Leghorn chicks previously reported to respond differently to visual deprivation, Truslow and Cornell K chicks. We analyzed the chicks after 2 weeks of rearing, a time period commonly used in neuropharmacological studies of eye growth but much shorter than in most prior studies...

Re'sume'. Corneal epithelium shed. Anterior chamber contains k.p. and fibrinous exudate. Iris, oedematous and infiltrated. Lens cataractous: capsule ruptured and early abscess formation. Abscesses present in vitreous. Retina detached and undergoing necrosis. Diagnosis. Early panophthalmitis. Remarks. A case is reported of an injured eye infected with penicillin-sensitive organisms which did not...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the histologic features and cytokine profiles of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) and a primed mycobacterial uveitis (PMU) model in rats. METHODS In Lewis rats, EAU was induced by immunization with interphotoreceptor binding protein peptide, and PMU was induced by immunization with a killed mycobacterial extract followed by intravitreal in...

PURPOSE To develop three-surface paraxial schematic eyes with different ages and sexes based on data for 7- and 14-year-old Chinese children from the Anyang Childhood Eye Study. METHODS Six sets of paraxial schematic eyes, including 7-year-old eyes, 7-year-old male eyes, 7-year-old female eyes, 14-year-old eyes, 14-year-old male eyes, and 14-year-old female eyes, were developed. Both refracti...

Purpose: The present study aimed to review the effect of dehydration during Ramadan fasting on the health and ocular parameters leading to changes in eye function. Methods: Articles included in the study were taken from Pub Med, Ovid, Web of Science and Google Scholar up to 2014.Related articles were also obtained from scientific journals in fasting and eye. Results: Dehydration and nutrition c...

Dear Editor, Berger’s space is a potential compartment that can present behind the crystalline lens but is not open in normal situations. This space is formed by the posterior lens surface and anterior vitreous face and is circumscribed by Weiger’s ligament [1]. Except for some congenital abnormalities, Berger’s space is rarely involved in ocular disease because of vulnerability of structures s...

CASE REPORT An outbreak of Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome after vitreoretinal surgery is reported. Two patients underwent exclusively vitrectomy while the other three patients were operated of vitrectomy and some other anterior segment procedure. DISCUSSION Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome is a sterile postoperative inflammation due to any non infectious substance that reaches the anterior se...

purpose : to investigate the penetration of cefixime and ciprofloxacin to the rabbit eye on the basis of microbial inhibition of aqueous and vitreous humour after oral administration. methods : in this experimental study, 36 rabbits (72 eyes) were randomly divided into two groups group a consisted of 20 rabbits and group b 16 rabbits. each group was divided into four equal subgroups. the rabbit...

We used a double-label method, which monitors the rate at which cells enter S-phase of the cell cycle, to identify factors that control the growth of chicken embryo lens epithelial cells in vivo. With this assay, we identified a mitogen for lens epithelial cells in the anterior segment of the embryonic eye. When the anterior chamber was opened briefly, by tearing the cornea or displacing the le...
