Introduction: Malignant melanoma of the ciliary body (corpus ciliare) represents 10 to 15 percent of tumors of the uveal tract. The aim of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of stereotactic radiosurgery performed on LINAC linear accelerator and the occurrence of postoperative complications. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with ciliary body melanoma treated with ster...

Aim: To compare the safety and efficacy of a new nanolaser photofragmentation technique of cataract surgery with ultrasound phacoemulsification. Method: A cohort of 20 patients underwent ultrasound phacoemulsification in one eye (group I) and nanosecond laser fragmentation in the other eye (group II). All cataracts were classified as stage 3 of cataract progression, i.e. nuclear opalescence (NO) w...

Aims: To analyze changes in surgically induced corneal astigmatism and artificial intraocular lens (IOL) stability over time following cataract surgery. To compare the interchangeability of measurements between an automatic keratorefractometer (AKRM) and a biometer. Material and methods: In this prospective observational study, the above-mentioned parameters were collected from 25 eyes (25 subject...

Purpose: To evaluate the contribution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis of foveal hypoplasia in children. Material and methods: Children with foveal hypoplasia (FH) were examinated with device RTVue Fourier – domain (FD) – OCT, software – version 6.8 (Optovue Inc., Fremont, USA). A qualitative examination of the macular area was performed with single horizontal scan (1024 A-sc...
