Orbital echinococcosis is a lesion of the orbit and paraorbital tissue caused by infection with larval stages of echinococcus. The main symptoms of the disease are discomfort and pain in the orbit, limited eye mobility, exophthalmos. The examination complex includes ophthalmoscopy, computed tomography of the orbits, ultrasound, Casoni test, IOP measurement, biomicroscopy of the eye,…
Episcleritis is an inflammation of the episcleral plate of the eye. Clinically manifested by unilateral redness, moderate discomfort in the eye area, local soreness, lacrimation. In the process of diagnosis, visual examination, visometry, tonometry, refractometry, computer perimetry, biomicroscopy using a slit lamp are used. Laboratory diagnostics are used to identify possible underlying pathology. Treatment of…
Epiretinal membrane is a slowly progressive disease that develops as a result of the formation of a thin film in the vitreous cavity. Clinical symptoms are represented by a decrease in visual acuity, the appearance of “fog” and distortion of the image in front of the eyes, diplopia. Diagnostics includes ophthalmoscopy, Doppler ultrasound in In-mode,…
Epicanthus is a vertical fold located between the upper and lower eyelids, partially covering the inner corner of the eye slit. In addition to the cosmetic defect, there is a narrowing of the field of vision, a feeling of “sand” or a foreign body under the eyelids, less often itching and burning. Diagnostics includes an…
Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis is a highly contagious acute ophthalmic infection caused by picornaviruses, affecting the conjunctiva of the eyes and accompanied by massive subconjunctival hemorrhages. Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis occurs with severe hyperemia, swelling and chemosis of the mucous membrane, pain in the eyes, photophobia, serous-purulent discharge, subconjunctival hemorrhages that occur against the background of common…
Enophthalmos is a pathological condition of the eyeball, in which it is excessively trapped in the orbital cavity. Clinically manifested by diplopia, scotomas, impaired eye mobility, decreased visual acuity. Diagnosis of enophthalmos is based on the results of external examination, palpation, exophthalmometry, radiography, Doppler ultrasound in In-mode, CT, visometry. Treatment tactics are determined by etiology.…
Endophthalmitis is an abscessing inflammation of the internal structures of the eye, leading to the accumulation of purulent exudate in the vitreous body. With endophthalmitis, there are pains in the eyeball, swelling and redness of the eyelids and conjunctiva, a significant decrease in visual acuity, hypopion. In the diagnosis of endophthalmitis, visometry, field of vision…
Fuchs dystrophy is a disease of the organ of vision, the cause of which is the death of cells of the posterior epithelium of the cornea. Clinically manifested by a decrease in visual acuity in the morning, photophobia, hyperemia, increased lacrimation, pain syndrome. Diagnosis of endothelial corneal dystrophy includes external examination, confocal microscopy, biomicroscopy, pachymetry,…
Ectopia lentis is a displacement of the lens relative to its physiological position, which develops as a congenital condition or is the result of injuries, ophthalmic diseases. Pathology is manifested by deterioration of visual acuity, double vision, pain in the area of the affected eye. Headache, conjunctival hemorrhages, inflammation of deep structures of the eye are…
Exophthalmos is a mono or binocular displacement of the eyeball forward. Common symptoms for most forms are obstructed eye movements, diplopia, burning sensation and pain due to increased dryness of the conjunctiva. Diagnosis of exophthalmos is based on the collection of anamnesis, external examination, exophthalmometry, ophthalmoscopy, visometry, tonometry, biomicroscopy, Doppler ultrasound, OCT. Treatment tactics depend…
