Dacryocystocele is a rare complication of chronic dacryocystitis. We report four
such cases in which epiphora and painless cystic mass located inferior to the
medical canthus were manifested. Computed tomographic...
The purpose of this study was to compare the circumferential profiles of
relative peripapillary retinal surface height (RPSH) between normal and
glaucoma, with a confocal scanning laser ophthalmology (CSLO), and...
After the injection of about 10 gm of dapsone, a 38-year-old male showed a
whitish-yellow patch in the macular region of both eyes, with decreased visual
acuity of the counting...
Impression cytology was used to evaluate the conjunctival surface change after
filtering surgery and its association with bleb type and mitomycin C. Impression
cytology were obtained at least ten (mean,...
Retinal ischemia and neovascularization have been demonstrated in several animal
models. To determine 1) whether the retinal or preretinal neovascularization can
be induced in albino rats by retinal vein occlusion...
Chronic hypotony is marked by decreased vision and late-onset leaking bleb after
filtration surgery using topical mitomycin C; to manage this condition we
followed a three-step approach: first, intrableb autologous...
We applied ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) polymerase chain reaction-restriction
fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to identify Acanthamoeba isolates from
contact lens paraphernalia, and characterized these on the basis of
mitochondrial DNA...
Surgical glove powders have been implicated in serious postoperative foreign
body reactions due to contamination of the operative field. Inflammatory
responses to glove lubricants or mold release agents have to...
Using Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg,
Germany) we investigated whether reversal of glaucomatous optic disc cupping
occurs in adult glaucoma patients following intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction
by trabeculectomy,...
The effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on corneal endothelial cell of
rabbit, was evaluated. DNA synthesis of cultured corneal endothelial cells after
adding EGF to culture medium and major...
