[The clinico-statistical aspects in allergic conjunctivitis]. / Aspecte clinico-statistice în conjunctivitele alergice.

Ocular allergy represents the hypersensitivity reaction of the ocular surfaces in contact with the external environment. Allergic conjunctivitis are one of the frequent disorders of the clinical practice. In this paper we present statistically the cases attended in our service for one year, a few pathogenetical factors; the positive diagnose and the therapeutic strategy.

[The ocular manifestations in rheumatoid polyarthritis]. / Manifestari oculare în poliartrita reumatoida.

Systemic diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis have unknown etiologies, unclear pathogenic mechanisms and multiorgan involvements. Ocular involvement is variable and may effect several levels: sclera, cornea, uvea and conjunctiva. Because an ocular event signify an enhancement of inflammatory-immune reactions, the patient may undergo a complete investigation and general therapy must complete local treatment. The paper showing the ocular manifestation in patients with rheumatic arthritis through a ten-years period.

[Painful ophthalmoplegia--a clinical case]. / Oftalmoplegia dureroasa--caz clinic.

We present the case of the patient S.M., female, 32 years old, who came in our eye clinic for left painful ophthalmoplegia. The onset of the clinical manifestations was a year and half ago, with the decrease of visual acuity at left eye, left partial ophthalmoplegia (partial lesion of the left oculomotor nerve) and secondary left trigeminal neuralgia. The paraclinical investigations excluded the systemic and locoregional diseases. CT exams, the left internal carotid angiography and the surgical intervention at the Neurosurgery Clinic in Timisoara revealed a left juxtasella tumor at the base skull, located extradural, which capsule invade the left nerve oculomotor. We conclusion that the painful ophthalmoplegia are complex clinical syndromes, with a different etiopathogenesis (inflammatory, tumoral, vascular malformations: aneurysm etc.) and their diagnosis and treatment need a good interdisciplinary collaboration: ophthalmologist-neurologist-neurosurgeon-endocrinologist-paraclinical exams.

[Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after systemic hypotension and anemia]. / Neuropatie optica ischemica anterioara dupa hipotensiune sistemica si anemie.

There are shown two cases of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy produced by arterial hypotension and anemia, due to a gastric bleeding and a hemodialysis treatment. Arterial hypotension can obliterate the optic nerve arteries, because of a weak haemodynamic balance previously affected, modifying the perfusion pressure at this level. The acute or chronic haemorrhages can produce anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in patients with vascular risk factors, by means of arterial hypotension and secondary anemia. Hemodialysis can produce anterior ischemic optic neuropathy through secondary arterial hypotension. It is necessary an emergency therapy to reuse arterial blood pressure and rearrange the hemodynamic balance.

[Cystic iris tumors]. / Tumori iriene chistice.

The paper approaches a rare ophthalmological pathology, cystic iris tumors. The authors show two clinical cases treated in the Clinic of Ophthalmology, Timisoara. In both cases the clinical and paraclinical diagnosis was confirmed by postoperator anatomopathological examination.

[Correction with contact lenses. The components of correction with contract lenses]. / Corectia cu lentile de contact. Componentele corectiei cu lentila de contact.

In order to understand the way contact lens adapts, we considered as a necessity the successive analysis of the components participating of the correction. Thus we have presented the role of the cornea and the evolution of the tear film under the contact lens. Afterwards contact lens of different types, corneo-scleral, hard or soft as well as the discontinuous, prolonged and permanent wear of lens have been presented.

[The echographic diagnosis of intraocular tumors in children]. / Diagnosticul ecografic al tumorilor intraoculare la copil.

The echographic exam done on 14 children with leukocoria (white pupil) confirmed in 7 cases the retinoblastoma diagnosis. The exam differentiates the solid tumours from the cystic ones and points out the tumours with non-typical clinical aspect. Results from here the great importance of echography effectuation, especially in non-typical forms with difficult clinical diagnosis. The association of the echographic examination, together with the classical methods of investigation, contributes to the establishing of a correct diagnosis of the size and exact extension of the tumour.

[The adaptation to contact lenses]. / Adaptarea lentilelor de contact.

The indications of contact lens adaptation in optical purpose are widely large, starting, with refractive errors [correction of vices], unilateral and bilateral aphakia, myopia, anisometropia and astigmatism, together with the use of contact lens in esthetic purpose. We have been presented the adaptation techniques, the supervise, and maintenance of contact lens.
