Treatment of eyelid injuries during period 2008-2010 at eye clinic of clinical center University of Prishtina.

INTRODUCTION: In the Eye Clinic during 2008-2010 we have treated 446 patients, where 252 were hospitalized patients while 184 weren't. Treated patients were 1-85 years old. AIM OF THIS STUDY: AIM OF THIS STUDY is to present our experience in treatment of patients with eye lids injuries and their reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In patients that were treated in the Eye Clinic, we have applied surgical methods, anti-tetanic protection and local and general medical therapy. 252 hospitalized patients also had other injuries of eye such as: rupture of bulbus, traumatic cataract, prolapsus iris, hyphaema in CA, prolapsus CV, VLC perforanc cornea et corpus alieni in CA, hyphaema totalis, VLC sclera, corpus alieni intrabulbares. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Patients that weren't hospitalized were 5-10 years old, 25-35 years old and 20-25 years old. Hospitalized patients were 5-10 years old, 20-25 years old and 30-35 years old. By this we can conclude that there wasn't any significant difference based on the patients' age. In the hospitalized cases with eye-lid injuries, most injuries of the eye were: VLC perforanc cornea cum prolapsus iridea, Corpus alieni in CA et hyphaema.

Alternating esotropia and surgical correction in both eyes.

Strabismus is an eye deviation, when both eyes cannot be directed at the same time towards the object that is being viewed. Strabismus is observed in approximately 25% of children under 3 years of age, and in approximately 3% of all children. There were 77 patients involved in this study, with Esotropia alternans, that had surgical operations at the Ophthalmology Clinic, University Clinical Centre of Kosova (UCCK), from 2005-2006. Patients were divided in two groups: 1. Researched group--involving 33 patients that had surgical interventions for weakening the functions of the inner straight muscle in both eyes, and 2. Control Group--involving 44 patients that had surgical interventions in one eye intervening in two muscles with contrary actions--the inner straight muscle, weakening it in retro position, and the outer straight muscle, strengthening its function through myectomy. Medium value of the objective angle after the operation, in distance of 6 meters, in the patients with Esotropia alternans from the Experimental group was 6.5 delta dyoptry (standard deviation 1.9 delta dyoptry). In the Control Group, the medium value of the objective angle was 9.3 delta dyoptry (standard deviation 3.6 delta dyoptry), with significant distinction (p < 0.01). There were 16.9% patients with Esotropia alternans who had complications during the operation. In the Experimental group, complication occurred in 4 patients, or 12.1% during the surgery. It the Control Group, complications were observed in 9 patients, or 20.5%, without significant difference between the groups.
