Purpose: Intracranial aneurysms and their hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications represent a serious nosological unit that significantly endangers those afflicted. They are mostly asymptomatic until rupture occurs. In two case reports, we present our observations of young patients with impaired vision and headaches, in whom we found the presence of intracranial aneurysms. Observations: Prese...

Aim: The main aim of this study is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM), membrane blue staining and subsequent expansile gas tamponade (perfluoropropane) in the treatment of idiopathic macular hole (IMH). Material and methods: The retrospective analysis consisted of 100 eyes of a total of 100 patients ...

Aims: To review the findings in the professional literature on unexplained loss of visual acuity (VA) in patients with silicone oil (SO) tamponade and post-removal, and assess the efficacy and safety of citicoline as a neuroprotective agent on anatomical changes and visual function in patients undergoing 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with large/multiple...

This paper describes design and construction of a new device for automatic capturing of eye retina and iris. This device has two possible ways of utilization – either for biometric purposes (persons recognition on the base of their eye characteristics) or for medical purposes as supporting diagnostic device....

Background: inborn isolated aniridia is rare bilateral impairment of several eye structures manifesting mainly by absence of iris, photophobia and decreased visual acuity. There are also others ocular symptoms associated with aniridia such as nystagmus, strabismus, eyelid ptosis, amblyopia, serious refractive errors, anisometropia, corneal changes, impairment of the lens, chamber angle dysgenesis,...

Photodynamic therapy with Verteporfin (Visudyne - Novartis AG, Basel, Switzerland) is a method designed for treatment of the wet form of age-related macular degeneration. Effectiveness of photodynamic therapy with Verteporfin we approved on our department in group of 301 patients (114 males, 187 women) of average age 73.5 years with predominantly classic choroidal neovascular membrane in subfoveal...

The aim of this study was to evaluate efficiency and long-term stabilization effect in patients with classic type of myopic choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV), treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin (Visudyne – Novartis AG, Basel, Switzerland). We have verified the efficiency of photodynamic therapy with verteporfin in group of 51 eyes (17 men, 34 women), mean age 49,5 years wi...

Aim: The aim of this study was the retrospective follow up of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) wet form patients treated with ranibizumab during 24 months period. The data were recorded into the AMADEuS (Age-related MAcular DEgeneration in patientS in the Czech Republic) Registry and after their evaluation compared with treatment results obtained from other departments of ophthalmology coll...
