Polycoria is an ophthalmopathology in which two or more pupils are located in the iris. Clinical manifestations include visual discomfort, decreased visual acuity, the appearance of “fog” in front of the eyes, photophobia. A physical examination is sufficient to make a diagnosis. In order to clarify the form of the disease, a test with mydriatics,…
Pinguecula is a small yellow formation localized in the nasal half of the conjunctiva. Depending on the diameter, it may occur latently or provoke discomfort, a feeling of dryness and a foreign body, hyperemia of the eyes. Diagnostics of the pinguecula includes external examination, fluorescence angiography, biomicroscopy, fern test, OCT. Conservative treatment is reduced to…
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetically heterogeneous hereditary disease characterized by impaired functioning of the retinal pigment epithelium with the development of various disorders. The manifestations and severity of symptoms depend on the form of pathology, most often there is a decrease in acuity and narrowing of the field of vision, the development of scotoma and…

Accommodation paralysis is a disorder in which, due to refractive errors, it is temporarily impossible to change the optical installation of the eyeball. Clinical manifestations include decreased visual acuity in the vicinity, increased visual fatigue, difficulty concentrating when looking at closely located objects. Diagnostics is based on computer refractometry, visometry, and the study of the…
Paralytic strabismus is a disease characterized by a deviation of the visual axis of the eye from the general fixation point. Clinical manifestations of the disease are impaired mobility of the eyeball, double vision, headache, increased visual fatigue. In the process of diagnosing paralytic strabismus, the degree of deviation and mobility of the eyeballs is…
Eyelid papillomas are tumor–like neoplasms on the skin of the eyelid resulting from infection with the human papillomavirus. Usually papillomas are manifested only by a cosmetic defect, with some localizations, pain, foreign body sensation and other symptoms are possible. For diagnostics, visiometry, tonometry, refractometry, computer perimetry, biomicroscopy using a slit lamp are used. Of the…
