Uveitis is a general concept denoting inflammation of various parts of the vascular membrane of the eye (iris, ciliary body, choroid). Uveitis is characterized by redness, irritation and soreness of the eyes, increased photosensitivity, blurred vision, lacrimation, the appearance of floating spots in front of the eyes. Ophthalmological diagnostics of uveitis includes visometry and perimetry,…
Ocular tuberculosis is an extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis, in which the own vascular membrane, conjunctiva or the accessory apparatus of the organ of vision is affected. Clinically, pathology is manifested by “flies” or “black spots” in front of the eyes, decreased visual acuity, pain syndrome. Diagnosis includes biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, visometry, microscopic examination of the biopsy.…
Trichiasis is a disease of the organ of vision, accompanied by an abnormal direction of eyelash growth. Clinically, the pathology is manifested by hyperemia of the eyes, photophobia, pain in the projection area of the eye socket, increased lacrimation. Diagnosis of trichiasis includes the collection of anamnesis, external examination, biomicroscopy, visometry. Minimally invasive (diathermocoagulation, electrolysis,…
Trachoma is a chronic chlamydial infection affecting the conjunctiva and cornea of the eyes. Trachoma is manifested by signs of conjunctivitis, keratitis, the formation of trachomatous grains (follicles) on the conjunctiva. In the outcome, trachoma can lead to scarring of the mucous membrane, destruction of the cartilage of the eyelids and complete blindness. In the…
Toxoplasmosis uveitis is a specific parasitic lesion of the posterior parts of the uveal tract with a tendency to generalize the process. Common symptoms for all forms are a decrease in visual acuity, the appearance of “fog” in front of the eyes. In the generalized variant, photophobia and pain develop in the projection area of…
Toxic amblyopia is a visual dysfunction caused by acute or chronic intoxication. Common manifestations for all forms are a progressive decrease in visual acuity, the appearance of “fog” or “flies” in front of the eyes, visual discomfort, impaired color perception. Diagnostics is based on visometry, biomicroscopy, perimetry, ultrasound of the eye, ophthalmoscopy, fluorescence angiography. Patients…
Esotropia is an oculomotor disorder in which one or both eyeballs are deflected inward. Clinical manifestations of pathology: periodic or permanent displacement of the eye, double vision, violation of stereoscopic and binocular vision. To make a diagnosis, visometry, refractometry, ophthalmoscopy are performed, the nature of vision and the angle of strabismus are determined. Conservative therapy…
Subperiosteal orbital abscess is a purulent lesion of the orbital wall with inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. The disease is characterized by an acute onset, an increase in temperature to 39 ° C, swelling of the skin around the orbit, the development of conjunctival chemosis, the appearance of double vision, impaired eyeball movements, a sharp…
Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a limited accumulation of blood in the space between the sclera and the conjunctiva. Pathology is characterized by an asymptomatic course, visual discomfort rarely occurs, a feeling of an extraneous body in the eye. To make a diagnosis, an external examination of the affected area, biomicroscopy of the eye, gonioscopy, ophthalmoscopy, a…
Staphyloma is a pathological protrusion of the posterior surface of the sclera. Clinically manifested by a decrease in visual acuity and narrowing of the visual field. Diffuse atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium is detected on the fundus, the presence of peripheral vitreochorioretinal dystrophy or retinal traction is possible. For diagnosis, an external examination is…
