IN recent years medical practitioners have become increasingly concerned about eye infections which are fungal in aetiology. While medical science has developed a large and generally effective armamentarium of antibiotics to combat ocular infections of bacterial aetiology, and chemotherapeutic agents have recently been developed which may prove to be extremely beneficial in the treatment of cer...

It's true: the herpes virus can infect various parts of the eye, including the eyelid, cornea, and parts of the inner-eye [2]. Thankfully, you can still safely make steamy eyes with someone across with room without worry ? similar to other herpes infections, the ocular variety is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. Although this type of infection is fairly uncommon (affecting about 50,000...

purpose: to present two patients with acute corneal hydrops, superimposed with infectious keratitis using topical steroids. patients and findings: the first case was a 44-year-old man with acute corneal hydrops in his left eye which was on topical steroids for one week. visual acuity was hand motion at presentation and there was a large epithelial defect with stromal infiltration and corneal ed...

introduction: until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. in recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. material and methods: in this article, some of these models are considered. they incl...

Oculomycosis may be divided into the orbital infections of phycomycosis of Aspergillus and other species and the infections of the globe. The latter comprise endogenous, post-surgical or traumatic intra-ocular infections and direct infections of the cornea: these are the commonest form of oculomycosis. They are not easy to differentiate from other, more common causes of septic infection of the ...

Abstract Background and Aims: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is very common in the population. Virus belongs to the family Herpesviridae, whose representatives are characterized by the ability to cause the human body's latent persistent infections. The goal of the study is to assess the CMVV infection frequency and PCR method in the choice of CMV in inflammatory eye disease, Comparing wit...

Previous findings indicate that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a ligand for Pseudomonas aeruginosa ingestion into respiratory epithelial cells. In experimental murine keratitis, P. aeruginosa enters corneal epithelial cells. We determined the importance of CFTR-mediated uptake of P. aeruginosa by corneal cells in experimental eye infections. Entry of noncytoto...
