We describe the ophthalmologic, clinical, and genetic findings in a patient of Yemenite-Jewish origin diagnosed with Alstrom syndrome due to a novel splice-site mutation 10 years after a clinical misdiagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis.Ophthalmological OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and refractive errors after adjusting for age, central corneal thickness (CCT), and other related factors.
METHODS
IOP, CCT and refractive errors were measured in the right eyes of 1855 subjects, aged 40-82 years, in a
Background: The last visual survey of older adults in Hong Kong was a district-level study in 2002, with no assessment of behavioral and medical risk factors for visual impairment (VI). Our objectives were to determine the latest VI
Anterior cervical hypertrichosis or hairy throat is a rare dysmorphic sign described in a total of 19 patients so far. The association with a number of additional features has been reported, including mental retardation. We report on another patient with this condition who also had moderate mental
OBJECTIVE
We have noted a phenotype of early-onset retinal dystrophy with macular staphyloma but without high myopia. The aim of this study is to report the underlying genetic mutations and the subcellular localisation of the gene product in the retina.
METHODS
Retrospective case series (2012-2015);
The ocular and systemic abnormalities in a boy with ring chromosome 11 [46, XY/46, XY, r(11) (p 15.5----q25] are described. The ocular anomalies consisted of bilateral hypermetropia, microcornea, anterior chamber cleavage syndrome with prominent Wölfflin nodes, and cartwheel configuration of the
Using retinoscopy, we measured the refractive state of 96 eyes of three different strains of rats: albino Sprague-Dawley, Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) with and without inherited retinal dystrophy, and lean and obese varieties of Zucker rats. Contrary to previous reports, we do not find consistent
Purpose: We present 3 cases of Alström syndrome (ALMS) that highlight the importance of the ophthalmic exam, as well as the diagnostic challenges and management considerations of this ultra-rare disease.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) prevalence and its risk factors in two different populations, with distinct socioeconomic conditions, at two ophthalmological centers in Pernambuco state, Brazil.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was performed in 200 volunteers aged 55
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the risk factors for pterygium in the dry, high altitude province of Ilam, Iran.
METHODS
The study included patients who presented to ophthalmology clinic. The patients were divided into two groups: 210 diagnosed with pterygium or pinguecula (unilateral or bilateral), and 210
We evaluated the retinal effects of systemic metabolic changes clustered under the umbrella of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in comparison with age-matched healthy subjects.
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal segmentation analysis of 29 patients with MetS and 36 control subjects
BACKGROUND
While adult exposure to PCE is known to have toxic effects, there is little information on the long-term impact of prenatal and early childhood exposure. We undertook a retrospective cohort study to examine the effects of their early life exposure to PCE-contaminated drinking water. This
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula and is the leading cause of significant and irreversible central visual loss. It is the most common cause of visual loss in people aged more than 60 years. This disease affects 2.5 million individuals in Europe. AMD is caused by both
A description of the clinical features of Majewski osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPD II) is presented based on 58 affected individuals (27 from the literature and 31 previously unreported cases). The remarkable features of MOPD II are: severe intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR),
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness and is becoming a global crisis since affected people will increase to 288 million by 2040. Genetics, age, diabetes, gender, obesity, hypertension, race, hyperopia, iris-color, smoking, sun-light and pyroptosis have varying roles
