Coats disease is a congenital pathology characterized by polymorphic changes in retinal vessels in combination with massive intra- and subretinal exudation. Clinical symptoms are represented by leukocoria, decreased visual acuity, the appearance of “fog”, “bright flashes” or specific patterns in front of the eyes. Diagnosis is based on ophthalmoscopy, ultrasound of the eye, OCT, pathomorphological…
Goldmann-Favre syndrome is a congenital form of progressive vitreoretinal dystrophy, in which retinitis pigmentosa, retinoschisis, vitreous pathology develops. The disease is manifested by visual dysfunction in the dark, decreased visual acuity, the appearance of “flies” or rounded opacities in front of the eyes. Diagnosis requires DNA diagnostics, electroretinography, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, ultrasound of the eye, OCT,…
Myopia is an anomaly of the refractive power of the eye (refraction), characterized by focusing the image of objects not on the retina of the eye, but in front of it. With myopia, a person does not distinguish distant objects well, but sees well up close; there is visual fatigue, headache, impaired twilight vision, progressive…
Blepharochalasis is an ophthalmic disease characterized by atrophy of the skin of the upper eyelids with the formation of excessive folds over the palpebral margin. The main clinical manifestations: “bag-like” overhanging of the upper eyelids, visual impairment, increased lacrimation, conjunctival hyperemia. For the diagnosis of blepharochalasis, physical examination, visometry, biomicroscopy, tonometry, computer refractometry, perimetry are…
Blepharophimosis is an ophthalmic syndrome manifested by bilateral ptosis in combination with a decrease in the vertical and horizontal size of the eyelids. The main symptoms are: pathological eye incision, increased fatigue when performing visual work, visual impairment, impaired accommodation. To make a diagnosis, physical examination, ultrasound of the eye, biomicroscopy, visometry, non-contact tonometry are…
Blepharoconjunctivitis is an inflammation of the edges of the eyelids in combination with a lesion of the palpebral and orbital conjunctiva. The main symptoms of the disease: redness of the eyes, a feeling of “sand” or foreign bodies under the eyelids, photophobia, increased tearfulness. To make a diagnosis, a physical examination, laboratory examination of secretions…
Bone marrow is a spongy soft tissue contained inside most of the bones of the human skeleton. Sometimes it is confused with the spinal cord, but these tissues have nothing in common with each other. The spinal cord is located in the spine and performs conduction and reflex functions. The first is the transmission of…
Blepharitis is a bilateral recurrent inflammation of the ciliary edge of the eyelids. Disease is manifested by redness and swelling of the edges of the eyelids, a feeling of heaviness and itching of the eyelids, hypersensitivity to bright light, rapid fatigue of the eyes, improper growth and loss of eyelashes. In the diagnosis, the leading…
Bacterial keratitis is an acute inflammation of the cornea of the eye of bacterial origin. It is clinically manifested by acute pain in the eye, edema, corneal syndrome, pronounced inflammatory injection of the eyeball, the presence of mucopurulent discharge, corneal opacity, superficial or deep ulceration. Diagnosis includes biometry of the eye, microbiological examination of a…
Achromatopsia is a hereditary disease caused by mutations of various genes encoding retinal photoreceptor proteins and characterized by a complete (rod monochromasia) or partial absence of color perception. At the same time, black-and–white vision is preserved, although there are other disorders of the visual apparatus – day blindness (hemeralopia), nystagmus, decreased visual acuity, sometimes strabismus.…
