[The impact of incisional dimensions on the surgically induced astigmatism]. / Impactul dimensiunii inciziei asupra astigma- tismului indus postoperator.

PURPOSE: The study reveals the incision's dimension impact on the the values of the postoperative induced astigmatism after cataract phacoemulsification surgery. METHOD: The study involved 648 patients who have suffered cataract surgery by phacoemulsification. RESULTS: The postoperative induced astigmatism has lower values as the incision's dimension is lower The astigmatism takes place after cataracts with hard nucleus. CONCLUSIONS: The microincisions used in cataract surgery allow the obtaining of lower values of the postoperative induced astigmatism. The nucleus's hardness has an influence over the values of the postoperative induced astigmatism.

[Herpetic keratitis. Clinical and therapeutic aspects]. / Cheratita herpetica. Aspecte clinice si terapeutice.

The authors have made a retrospective study of 161 cases of herpetic keratitis. 121 cases of them have been superficial herpetic keratitis and 40 of them discoid forms. 72 cases of superficial keratitis have been the first manifestation and 49 have relapsed. 53 cases of superficial herpetic keratitis and 39 cases of relapsed herpetic keratitis have been treated with specific antiviral medication. This treatment decreased significantly the hospitalisation period of first superficial attack herpetic keratitis. In relapsed and discoid forms the number of the hospitalisation days have not been influenced by the antiviral treatment, needing the association of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamins.

[Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The experience of 71 cases]. / Neuropatia optica ischemica anterioara. Experienta pe 71 cazuri.

The purpose of the study is to point out the characteristic clinical, therapeutical and evolutive features in the acute ischaemic suffering of the optic nerve's preliminary portion. A retrospective study has been performed, on the patients with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION), hospitalized in the Ophthalmologic Clinic from Cluj-Napoca, between 1986-1994: 71 cases. The main functional (visual field, visual acuity) and ophthalmoscopic aspects are analyzed, as their evolution after treatment. Results are significantly better if corticosteroids are systemically used (43.3% improvement of the visual field) than in their absence (17.07% improvement of the visual field). The high percentage of failures (70%) proves the absence of a therapeutical method to cure or bring a significant visual function's improvement in AOIN.
