Microphthalmia is a reduction in the size of the eyeball, in which its longitudinal axis does not exceed 21 mm in an adult and 19 mm in a child. The disease is manifested by a decrease in visual acuity, facial asymmetry, increased tearfulness, discomfort, with the formation of cysts in the orbital cavity – pain…
Eye metallosis is a pathology that develops due to the ingress of a metal fragment into the eye. The clinical picture is represented by a decrease in visual acuity, the appearance of “floating opacities”, “fog” in front of the eyes, pronounced discomfort, increased tearfulness, photophobia. Diagnostics includes visometry, biomicroscopy, perimetry, gonioscopy, ultrasound, non-contact tonometry, orbit…
Optic nerve meningioma is a predominantly benign intraocular tumor that develops from the arachnoid membrane of the optic nerve or cells of periorbital localization. Depending on the type of growth of the neoplasm, the leading symptoms are a decrease in visual acuity, soreness inside the eye socket and in the corresponding half of the head,…
Choroid melanoma is a malignant neoplasm of the vascular membrane of the eye with a predominantly hematogenous metastasis pathway. Clinically, it is most often manifested by pain syndrome, decreased visual acuity, photopsias and metamorphopsias. Diagnostics consists of biomicroophthalmoscopy, ophthalmoscopy, fluorescence angiography, ultrasound Doppler color mapping, CT and MRI. Common methods of treating choroid melanoma are…
Eye melanoma is a malignant neoplasm originating from melanocytes and affecting the eyelid, conjunctiva or vascular membrane of the eye. It can be manifested by visual errors, deterioration of vision of objects, gradual loss of peripheral vision, change in the shape of the pupil, exophthalmos and other symptoms. In some cases, a visible pigmented formation…
Meibomitis is an inflammation of the meibomian glands, manifested by hyperemia, edema, soreness in the affected area and the presence of purulent infiltrate. This pathology is accompanied by the release of a “foamy” secretion, dense yellow or grayish masses, followed by the formation of dry crusts. Diagnosis is based on the results of biomicroscopy, microscopic…
Meibomian keratitis is a corneal lesion that develops against the background of chronic purulent inflammation of the meibomian glands and a violation of their secretory function. Meibomian keratitis is manifested by corneal syndrome, pain, small superficial infiltrates and corneal opacity, inflammatory injection of the eyeball, decreased vision. The diagnosis is made on the basis of…
Megalocornea is a rare genetically determined disease characterized by an increase in the diameter of the cornea. The severity of clinical manifestations varies from an asymptomatic course to such nonspecific symptoms as decreased visual acuity and the appearance of “fog” in front of the eyes. The main diagnosis of megalocorneia includes an objective examination, ultrasound…
Macular rupture is a disease accompanied by the formation of a defect in the macular region of the retina. In the initial stages, it is asymptomatic. Clinical manifestations are found only at late stages in the form of a sharp decrease in visual acuity, the formation of a dark spot in the central part of…
That’s the way life works: some are born as boys, others as girls. They grow up, reach puberty and can reproduce their own kind. Nature, in an effort to ensure population growth, has arranged for men and women to be attracted to each other. Possible health consequences So, sexual desire is natural. However, everyone should…
