A prospective, hospital based, clinical study was conducted in hypertensive patients referred to the eye OPD, KMCTH, Sinamangal during a period of three months to find out the incidence of fundus changes. A total of 302 hypertensive patients were included in the study and their fundus changes were evaluated by direct ophthalmoscopy. The age of the patients ranged from 30-70 years and the durati...

We reported the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings of a subinternal limiting membrane hemorrhage in the macula in one patient with Valsalva retinopathy and in one patient with macroaneurysm before and after neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser membranotomy. Within 1 week, the Nd:YAG laser treatment facilitated rapid absorption of the hemorrhage in b...

Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy has been used to measure individual cone-photoreceptor directionalities in the living human eye. The directionality is determined at different retinal eccentricities where it is expected that cones have diameters ranging between 5-10μm, comparable to the spot size of the incident beam. Individual cone directionality values are compared with the predicted directiona...

OBJECTIVE To verify the existence of ocular diseases in the first 48 hours of life of newborns and relate it to the clinical suspicious of pediatricians. METHODS A prospective study was performed. All infants that were born between July and December of 2000 were evaluated in the nursery of Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba (HUEC). Six hundred sixty-seven newborns were evaluated th...

G'horoidal tumors still pose many problems for the ophthalmologist in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Present diagnostic methods, including ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography,transillumination,' ultrasonography,' 7 and examination of subretinal fluid,do not always reveal the nature of the tumor, resulting in unnecessary enucleations in a small percentage of cases." Conservative treatment...

Simulation phantoms are a subclass of models. They serve to learn demanding (medical)skill. The l’oeil artificiel ophthalmoscopique, developed in 1866 by the French surgeonMaurice Perrin (1826–1889), is regarded as first ophthalmoscopy phantom that comesquite close imitating natural conditions eye during mirroring. Such aredeveloped order support learner operate e. g. hand-held-ophthalmosco...

Wide-angle viewing systems (WAVSs) were originally established for pars plana vitrectomy. However, their application to scleral buckling surgery was recently reported. In this study, we compared the outcomes of scleral buckling using a noncontact WAVS with that of scleral buckling using conventional indirect ophthalmoscopy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The clinical records of 39 eyes (...

OBJECTIVE To perform fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography for large or peripheral chorioretinal structures using a contact lens system that provides a 5-fold increase in the field of view of a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). METHODS Separate handheld contact and noncontact ophthalmoscopic lenses were manually aligned with the optical axis of a confocal SLO to demonstrat...

in this article, we present the case of a 12-year-old female child who complained of bilateral temporal and frontal headache for 2 to 3 months with nausea and vomiting. physical examination revealed right-sided sixth cranial nerve palsy and papilledema in ophthalmoscopy. to find the cause of increased intracranial pressure, the patient underwent brain imaging and brain mri showed no abnormality...
