ABSTRACT
We present three cases of macular hole. After macular surgery we observed good anatomical results (closed macular holes) but poor functional results. We try to identified the element who produced atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium.

This article evaluated the efficacy of intravitrean injection of anti VEGF agents and triamcinolon in the treatment of macular telangiectasis. The patients were followed six months. We practiced fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography. We measured the thickening of macular edema and best corrected of visual acuity.

The authors present the case of a patient diagnosed with a conjunctival tumor. Questions are being asked about the nature of the tumor--is there just a melanocitic conjunctival tumor or a scleral extension of a intraocular tumor (that also infiltrates the cornea). A minimally invasive surgical approach is decided, with excellent intra- and post-op results. There have been no complications during 1 year of combined ophthalmologist - oncologist surveillance.
