The mutation spectrum in familial versus sporadic congenital cataract based on next-generation sequencing
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundCongenital cataract (CC) is a significant cause of lifelong visual loss, and its genetic diagnosis is challenging due to marked genetic heterogeneity. The purpose of this article is to report the genetic findings in sporadic and familial CC patients.MethodsPatients (n = 53) who were clinically diagnosed with CC and their parents were recr...
Changes in ocular biometric measurements after vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachm...
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundTo observe the changes in ocular biometric measurements after vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair.MethodsSixty-three phakic, macula-off RRD eyes underwent vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade but not lens extraction were included in this retrospective study. Measurements of axial len...
Influence of electromagnetic radiation emitted by daily-use electronic devices on the Eyemate® system in-vitro: a feasib...
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundEyemate® is a system for the continual monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP), composed of an intraocular sensor, and a hand-held reader device. As the eyemate®-IO sensor communicates with the hand-held reader telemetrically, some patients might fear that the electronic devices that they use on a daily basis might somehow interfere with...
Toxicity of Povidone-iodine to the ocular surface of rabbits
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundWe evaluated the toxicity of 5% (w/v) povidone-iodine (PI) applied to the ocular surface of rabbits.MethodsTwenty-three white rabbits were divided into four groups; these were a control group and three study groups in which the ocular surface was exposed to PI for different times. In control group, one drop of phosphate-buffered saline (P...
Outcomes of a postoperative perfluorocarbon liquid tamponade for complex retinal detachments: 12 years of experience in ...
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundThe study evaluates both functional and anatomical outcomes of retinal detachment (RD) repair by vitrectomy and perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) tamponade.MethodsA retrospective chart review of patients who underwent vitrectomy using PFCL tamponade for RD repair from causes such as giant tear, chronic RD, or RD with previously failed surgery...
Comparative analysis of the tear protein profile in herpes simplex virus type 1 epithelial keratitis
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundHerpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) keratitis is a major cause of corneal blindness in the world, and an in-depth understanding of its pathogenesis may help improve existing diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this study is to compare and analysis the total tear protein profile of HSV-1 epithelial keratitis patients, and to quantify t...
Intrasession repeatability of pupil size measurements under different light levels provided by a multidiagnostic device ...
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundThe measurement of the pupillary function is an indispensable test in some eye examinations, being necessary the evaluation of the precision of instruments performing such measures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intrasession repeatability of pupil size measurements provided by a multidiagnostic platform in a large sample of he...
Bergmeister’s papilla in a young patient with type 1 sialidosis: case report
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundSialidosis is a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficit of neuraminidase enzyme activity. Patients with sialidosis present various neurological disorders such as: myoclonic epilepsy and hypotonia, often associated with visual impairment. A typical aspect of sialidosis is the finding of a macular cherry-red spot on ocul...
Refractive surprise after cataract surgery secondary to smeared optics of swept-source optical coherence tomography biom...
Published in BMC Ophthalmology
BackgroundInaccurate biometry can lead to the wrong intraocular lens implantation and result in refractive surprise following cataract surgery. It is important to be sceptical of biometry results that do not match the refractive or clinical picture and ask for it to be repeated.Case presentationWe present a unique cause of refractive surprise in a ...
