Vitreous hernia is a pathological protrusion of the vitreous body into the anterior chamber of the eye. The main clinical manifestations of the disease are represented by a decrease in visual acuity, the appearance of a “fog” or “veil” in front of the eyes, headache. To make a diagnosis, biomicroscopy, OCT, ultrasound, gonioscopy, visometry are…
Fungal conjunctivitis is ophthalmomycosis characterized by subacute or chronic inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by pathogenic fungi. Depending on the type of pathogen, fungal conjunctivitis can occur with catarrhal or purulent inflammation, the formation of films or nodular infiltrates on the mucous membrane of the eyes; often the disease takes the form of keratoconjunctivitis. The…
Posner-Schlossman syndrome is a paroxysmal benign hypertension of the eye. Characteristic signs of the disease: blurred vision, sudden increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) and the appearance of corneal precipitates. For the diagnosis of the disease, tonometry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy, perimetry, electronic tonography are indicated. For immediate relief of signs of hypertension, beta-blockers are prescribed. Pathogenetic…
Chemotherapy is one of the leading methods of treating oncological tumors. This procedure involves intravenous administration of special drugs that destroy cancer cells and inhibit their growth. The main disadvantage of chemotherapy drugs is their low selectivity with respect to cells and tissues. Unfortunately, such treatment affects not only cancer cells, but also healthy ones,…
Ocular manifestations of HIV are specific changes in the organ of vision caused by the addition of an opportunistic infection in patients with a history of HIV infection. The clinical picture is determined by the nature of the lesion. Common symptoms for most forms are decreased visual acuity, scotomas, photopsias, color perception disorders, photophobia, increased…
Glaucoma is a chronic eye pathology characterized by increased intraocular pressure, the development of optical neuropathy and impaired visual function. Clinically, glaucoma is manifested by narrowing of the visual fields, pain, pain and a feeling of heaviness in the eyes, blurred vision, deterioration of twilight vision, in severe cases blindness. Diagnosis includes perimetry, tonometry and…
How does most of us feel after a sleepless night?

The consequences of chronic sleep deprivation are much more serious and can cause a variety of health problems:…
Ocular migraine is a migraine with an aura in the form of transient visual disturbances that may occur against the background of a headache or in its absence. It is clinically manifested by a feeling of flickering, loss of areas of the field of vision, the appearance of phosphenes, photopsies and scintillating cattle. Diagnosis is…
Hyphema is a pathological condition of the organ of vision, in which blood is detected in the anterior chamber of the eyes. Clinical manifestations are “fog” or “shroud” in front of the eyes, decreased visual acuity, photophobia. Diagnosis of hyphema is based on examination of the anterior parts of the eye, biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, visometry, tonometry,…
Eye hypotension is a syndrome, the pathognomonic sign of which is a decrease in intraocular pressure below 15 mmHg. The main clinical manifestations are “flies” and “floating opacities” in front of the eyes, increased visual fatigue, visual impairment, headache. Tonometry, electronic tonography, visometry, ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, ultrasound, Seidel filtration test are used for diagnostics. Conservative…
