The role of nitric oxide in allergic conjunctivitis was studied in a guinea pig model. The eyes of sensitized guinea pigs were challenged with ovalbumin (20 micrograms per eye) or histamine (20 micrograms per eye). Synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) was inhibited using L-NAME (200 micrograms per eye) or
BACKGROUND
The onset of keratoconus usually coincides with adolescence, and may be associated with vernal conjunctivitis or other atopic conditions. In patients with vernal conjunctivitis, acute hydrops may be the presenting sign of keratoconus in preadolescence.
METHODS
Review of ophthalmic

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is common in clinical practice, but the aetiology of this disease is quite varied. A leading pathogenetic mechanism is a cell-mediated immunity. The combinations of ACD with other allergic and systemic autoimmune diseases are relatively rare, but these OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a nictitating membrane flap (NMF) as therapy in 19 cats (21 eyes) affected with feline acute corneal hydrops (FACH).
METHODS
Medical records from 19 cats diagnosed with FACH and treated with a NMF were retrospectively evaluated. Information was
Rosacea is a common dermatosis with a variety of clinical manifestations. The eyes are often affected. The most frequent ocular findings are blepharitis and conjunctivitis. We describe three patients with rosacea in whom periorbital edema was the initial presentation. This symptom may be confused
The development of experimental disciform edema and necrotizing keratitis in the corneas or rabbits following intrastromal inoculation with the RE strain of herpes simplex virus is described. Following an initial episode of conjunctivitis and epithelial keratitis, a mild, centrally localized,
Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) is an eye infection that was first noted in 1969 and became a pandemic disease in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Japan in the 1970s. It was not noted in the western hemisphere until 1981. This report describes the clinical experience with AHC in Honduras where it
Foreign bodies are usually detected at the first visit. However, they may be overlooked sometimes, especially in children, and may cause some clinical conditions including unilateral relapsing conjunctivitis. A five-year-old girl was presented to the emergency clinic of our hospital with epiphora,
Contact lens-associated giant papillary conjunctivitis (CL-GPC) caused by mechanical and immune mechanisms is a significant problem resulting in contact lens intolerance and discontinuation of contact lens wear. In the present study, tear fluid leukotriene C4 (LTC4) level was evaluated in soft
