[Conjunctival changes in pseudoexfoliative syndrome].

PURPOSE: Histopathologic study of conjunctival biopsy specimens in patients with or without exfoliation syndrome and mature cataract to reveal the presence of exfoliative material. MATERIAL AND METHOD: There were studied a group of patients with different ages who needed surgical cataract extraction; all patients were examined preoperative for the presence of exfoliation syndrome. The conjunctival biopsy specimens were obtained at the end of cataract surgical procedure in eyes both with exfoliation syndrome and in fellow eyes without clinical evidence of the disease. RESULTS: It has been recorded the presence of the exfoliative material in eyes both with exfoliation syndrome and in fellow eyes without clinical evidence of the disease. CONCLUSIONS: Conjunctiva appears to be an independent source of exfoliation material with early detection in preclinical stage of exfoliation syndrome in fellow eyes that appeared to be clinically unaffected.

[Neovascular glaucoma--prevention].

PURPOSE: The aim of this paper is to analyse the incidence of neovascular glaucoma on a group of patients treated by laser photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusions. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We have studied a group of 277 patients: 112 male and 165 female with ages between 26 and 83 years. 256 patients had proliferative diabetic retinopathy and 21 patients retinal vascular occlusions with ischemic involvement. All this patients were treated with retinal laser photocoagulation. Follow-up period was between 6 months and 2 years. RESULTS: Only 3 patients from the entire group treated with laser photocoagulation had developed neovascular glaucoma. CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic panretinal photocoagulation is the only method that appears to prevent the neovascular glaucoma and eliminate his devastating complications.

[Retinophotography--screening method in diabetic retinopathy].

The paper presents the modern screening method for diabetic retinopathy-the retino-photography. We present our experience on this issue, regarding the patients with diabetic retinopathy screened in Diabetic Eye Department, Ophthalmology Clinic Craiova, between October 2002-June 2005.

[The adaptometry study in patients with diabetic retinopathy].

PURPOSE: The aim of this paper is to study if the cones and rods adaption is influenced by the degree of the diabetic retinopathy or by the retinal photocoagulation treatment. MATERIAL AND METHOD: I analysed three groups of diabetic patients: the first group without diabetic retinopathy, the second with different stages of diabetic retinopathy without laser treatment and the last one treated by panphotocoagulation. RESULTS: The exploration of the global light and dark adaptation of the retina using Hartinger's adaptometer does not allow a qualitative and selective appreciation of this function. However it suggests quantitative alterations of the terminal limit in patients with diabetic retinopathy treated or not by panphotocoagulation. CONCLUSIONS: The diabetic retinopathy produces minor symptoms of low dark adaptation even in the advanced phase. The diabetic retinopathy induces minimal changes of the graph of the adaptation limits even in the patients without treatment.

[Ocular parasitosis--particular aspects].

The goal of this study cases are presented in this study. The first case was emphasized in a patient with an epibulbar tumor and the second case was diagnosed with Toxocara Canis. In both cases the ophthalmoscopic images and the clinical evolution were unusual on the other hand etiological diagnosis in both cases was difficult. In the first case, the surgical procedure was effective, but in the second case the specific antiparasitic treatment could not stop the evolution of corioretinal's lesions; it required laser therapy.

[Diabetes mellitus and glaucoma].

PURPOSE: The evaluation of the incidence of the open angle glaucoma to the patients with diabetes mellitus compared to the incidence in the general population and the frequency of the neovascular glaucoma. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The work consists in a study of 1700 patients with diabetes mellitus who where examined during 13 years. RESULTS: From 1700 patients with diabetes mellitus, 240 (14.1%) have glaucoma (primary or secondary). Of those 240, 15 (6.2%) have diabetes mellitus type I and 225 (93.7%) have diabetes mellitus type II. Concerning the clinical form of glaucoma, 177 patients (10.4%) have primary glaucoma with open angle, 23 (1.3%) have primary glaucoma with narrow-angle and 40 (2.5%) have secondary glaucoma. CONCLUSIONS: The highly incidence of the primary glaucoma to the patients with diabetes mellitus comparative to the general population can be explained by the vegetative dysfunction in association with diabetes mellitus and the presence of some common immunitary anomalies. The small numbers of cases with neovascular glaucoma means an indicator of the efficiency of the antidiabetic treatment and of the ocular complications of the diabetes mellitus.
