Filamentous keratitis is a form of chronic inflammation of the cornea that develops against the background of hypofunction of the lacrimal glands and drying of the corneal epithelium. Filamentous keratitis is characterized by a moderately pronounced corneal syndrome (photophobia, burning and eye irritation, etc.), the presence of filamentous discharge from the eyes, dryness of the…
Nystagmus is a pathology characterized by involuntary oscillatory eye movements. Clinical symptoms include rapid fluctuations of the eyeballs in the vertical, horizontal, less often – oblique or circular direction. The accommodative ability is impaired, which is manifested by visual dysfunction. Objective examination, microperimetry, electronystagmography, visometry, refractometry, computed tomography of the brain are used for diagnosis.…

Myopic astigmatism is a pathology of refraction in which parallel rays of light do not gather into a single focal line on the inner shell of the eye. Clinical manifestations: decreased vision, distortion and blurring of the image in front of the eyes, “squinting” of the eyes. The main diagnostic methods include visometry, computer autorefractometry,…
Orbital myositis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the oculomotor muscles. The main symptoms of the disease are bursting pain in the periorbital region, muscle weakness, diplopia, limited mobility of the eyeball. The eye slit is narrowed, the eyelids are swollen.
