An 8-year-old girl presented with opsoclonus-like eye movement and an 18 month history of intermittent facial tics. Investigations were all normal. Electro-oculography showed the eye movements to be of variable amplitude (10-40 degrees), with no intersaccadic interval, and with a frequency of 3-4 Hz. Saccades, smooth pursuit, optokinetic, and vestibular reflexes were all normal. These abnormal ...

conclusions our case report showed the therapeutic effect of rhepo in complete curing of povl. regarding the side effects of epo such as thrombogenic effects or mild hemodynamic changes like transient sinus tachycardia during infusion, it seems that beneficial effects of epo is more than its disadvantages and expenses, for patients with povl. case presentation our patient was a 61-year-old man,...

A 40-year-old man was referred for unilateral glaucoma in his left eye. Medical history was unremarkable for systemic disorders and medications. The patient had undergone uneventful phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation in the same eye two years ago. Six months postoperatively intraocular pressure (IOP) was inadequately controlled with topical medicatio...

BACKGROUND: Normal bacterial flora of the conjunctiva, which inhibits growth of opportunistic organisms, has an important role in the prevention of ocular infections. If resident flora is inhibited by disease or long-term application of antibiotics, opportunistic pathogens overgrow, leading to disease. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ophthalmic chloramphenico...

PURPOSE We previously showed that anisometropic amblyopia affects the programming and execution of saccades and reaching movements. In our current study, we investigated whether these amblyopia-related changes simply are due to a reduction in visual acuity alone by inducing artificial blur in one eye in visually-normal participants. METHODS Twelve visually-normal participants performed saccad...

Case report A 24-year-old Japanese woman was first examined in her 12th week of pregnancy for a complaint of blurred vision in both eyes accompanied by headache and hearing loss. Her visual acuity was 6/10 right eye and 6/12 left eye. She had 1+ cells and flare in both anterior chambers. Serous retinal detachment involved the macular areas of both eyes (Fig 1). Intraocular pressure was 20 mm Hg...

The effect of an attentional manipulation on eye tracking dysfunction (ETD) in the early stages of schizophrenia was examined in 34 recent-onset schizophrenic patients and 24 demographically matched normal subjects over a 1-year period. An attentional enhancement manipulation improved eye tracking performance of recent-onset schizophrenic patients more than that of normal subjects. Eye tracking...

When asked to look through a tube, young children (normal, strabismic, monocularly enucleated) place it between the eyes, while older children turn the head or shut one eye. We videotaped 174 children (normals and strabismics, 2-17 yr of age) and 16 normal adults to find out when and why head turn occurs. In learning to look with one eye, children progressed through a sequence of four responses...
