The authors present a case report of a three-year-old female patient with bilateral multiple anterior vitreous cysts. During examination for intermittent esotropia of the right eye was diagnosed not only hypermetropia, astigmatism and anisometropia, but also pigmented changes in peripheral retrolental space of both eyes. Clinical examination under general anaesthesia revealed bilateral multiple pi...

Corneal confocal microscopy is a new, non-invasive imaging method. It provides serial images of a face optical sections through the full-thickness of the living cornea, avoiding artefacts associated with ex vivo study. It provides qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of the corneal layers, nerves, and cells. It also allows longitudinal examination of the corneal structure changes over time...

In vivo corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) represents a new, non-invasive, rapidly developing corneal examination technique that enables individual layers of the cornea to be displayed at the cellular level. The cornea is the translucent and at the same time the most innervated tissue of the human body. Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). A close correlatio...

Purpose: To report the results of treatment of the traumatic macular holes (TMH) in four children. Methods: Retrospective study analyzed data of 4 children, males with a mean age of 12.3 years (range, 9–17 years), with diagnosis of TMH. All patients suffered a blunt trauma of the eye during the sport activities. The symptoms of three patients began after being hit to the face with a soccer balls, ...

Macular hole (MH) was considered untreatable condition for a long time until Kelly and Wendel described the posibility of surgical treatment with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the nineties of the twentieth century. Since then have both surgical instruments and operation techniques developed rapidly and PPV has become the mainstay of MH therapy. Only stage I according to Gass classification which ...

Purpose: To report a case of patient with Miller Fisher syndrome, complicated by simultaneous bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma in her slightly (+1.5) hyperopic eyes. Methods: We present a case report of a 71-year-old female patient presenting with total ophthalmoplegia, areflexia, ataxia and bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma. Results: The initial ocular examination revealed hand motion ...

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate ocular surface and tear film in patients with pediatric (primary or secondary) unilateral glaucoma and compare results obtained from the treated eye and untreated healthy eye. Methods: Patients with unilateral pediatric glaucoma, followed in the outpatient department of the Department of Ophthalmology, Motol University Hospital, were included in this s...

Purpose: The aim is a report of a case of bilateral eye injury with bilateral blowout fracture caused by a high-pressure water jet from a fire hose in 16-years old girl during a competition for young fire fighters. Methods: We present a case report of a 16-years old female patient presenting with bilateral extensive eyelid contusion, oedema and lacerations of upper eyelids, lacerations of bulbar c...

Introduction: Lagophthalmos can be characterized as the dysfunction of the eye aperture and in some cases even by the disruption of tear production. Dry eye syndrome can consequently develop. Instability of the tear film, hyperosmolarity and inflammatory reaction are considered as the key mechanisms of dry eye syndrome. In our report we monitored the tear osmolarity of patients with postsurgical u...

Introduction: Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface. Recently, treatment with autologous serum eye drops (AS-ed) has been frequently used in these patients. Significant improvement correlates well with clinical, laboratory and subjective findings. It is assumed that one of the key factors in the development of the disease is increased tear osmolarity. T...
