Introduction: Lymphoma is a malignant disease that can affect several structures of the orbit and eye adnexa. In the area of orbit the non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma (NHL) is typical, which may be indolent or aggressive. Indolent subtypes include MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue), follicular lymphoma (FL), lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma (LPL). Conversely, subtypes such as diffuse large cell lymphoma (D...

Introduction: The intrastromal corneal ring segments implantation is widely used as an effective method for keratoconus correction. Femtosecond laser technology represents very precise and modern approach in corneal tunnel creation. Nevertheless complication like an extrusion of the implanted ring segment rarely appears. There are few different types of intrastromal corneal segments available. Ker...

A seventysix-year-old female was acutely admitted to the Eye Clinic of the University Hospital in Martin with a 1 month history of impaired central and peripheral vision on the right eye. At the admission patient`s right eye VA was fingers at 20 cm, the left eye had a central vision preserved. Magnetic resonance of the brain and orbits demonstrated cystic tumor expansion in the sellar region with ...

INTRODUCTION: The etiology of papilloma formation is multifactorial. There is a strong association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and the development of these conjunctival lesions. HPV is tumorigenic and commonly produces benign tumors with low malignant potential. Papillomas rarely go through malignant transformation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of patients with a diagnosis of c...

Introduction: Keratopigmentation or corneal tattooing represents an unique cosmetic solution for corneal leucomas and also for other pathological changes affecting cornea oriris. Procedure is based on pigment insertion into the corneal stroma. Goal is to improve the appearance of the affected eye. These days are most frequently used tattoo kits with different sterilised inks made primary for skin ...

Botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) is used in the treatment of neuroophthalmologic disorders such as essential blepharospasm and facial hemispasm for more than 20 years. Although the long-term effect of repeated application of the BT-A was confirmed, the BT-A effect on tears production and retention is not clear. In our work we investigated whether applied BT-A in patients with blepharospasm and hemifa...

Anisocoria is a condition characterized by an unequal size of the eyes’ pupils. There is a broad spectrum of aetiological factors including benign and also life- threatening situations. The most important point is the ability to find the anatomical location of the pathology. Understanding to the anatomical, physiological and pharmacological influences helps us to solve the diagnostic challenge. In...

Purpose: Amblyopia is one of the most common childhood disease. The average prevalence of amblyopia in children is estimated at 2-5 %. It arises during the child development until the age of six, if not treated then, it persist throught adulthood. The aim of our work is to retrospectively analyze the results of treatment of anisometropic amblyopia using dichoptical training in virtual reality in a...

Objectives: Evaluation of the visibility and depth of the demarcation line in the corneal stroma in eyes with keratoconus 1 month and 3 months after epi-off accelerated corneal cross-linking (ACXL) using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS OCT). Material and Methods: This study analyses a group of 34 eyes with keratoconus 1 month and 3 months after ACXL (9 mW/cm2 for 10 min). The gro...

Purpose: To evaluate the value of AS OCT pachymetry as a method capable of detecting early differences between keratoconus, latent keratoconus and corneal astigmatism based on measurements of the parameters of corneal epithelial thickness and total corneal thickness. Methods: This study analyzed 162 eyes of 89 patients examined with a Zeiss Cirrus 500 Anterior Segment Premier Module. OCT Pachymetr...
