ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the difference of the light sensitivity in the central visual field between normal people and type Ⅱ diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy , and evaluate the effect of perimetric examination in early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. Methods The light sensitivity at the 80 locations in the central field was measured by Dicon field analyzer (model TKS 4000) in 76 normal eyes of 44 normal volunteers aged from 45 to 72 years and 75 eyes of 40 type Ⅱ diabetic patients without retinopathy aged from 46 to 71 years. Results For the diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy, the light sensitivity of locations decreased by 4 8 dB,and there were some decreased light sensitivity areas. The mean light sensitivity of three zones of the central field had significant reduction in the diabetic patients as compared with the control group( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of vitrectomy associated with extraction of intraocular foreign bodies in the posterior segment.Methods Retrospective analysis was done on clinical records of 11 patients (11 eyes) having undergone vitrectomy company with extraction of intraocular foreign bodies in the posterior segment.Results The intraocular foreign bodies in the posterior segment were extracted successfully in all cases, the retinal detachment and endophthalmitis were cured. Postoperation visual acuity was improved in 8 eyes and did not change in 3 eyes. None suffered from postoperative secondary intraocular hemorrahge, decompensation of corneal endothelium and other serious complications.Conclusion Vitrectomy combined with extraction of intraocular foreign bodies in the posterior segment is less damaging, accurate and safe, and enhances the cure rate. It is an effective method for treating intraocular foreign bodies.
