Optimal timing of capsular tension ring implantation in pseudoexfoliation syndrome
Conclusions: Cortex removal is more difficult with early capsular tension ring implantation, and posterior capsule fluctuations may cause problems with late capsular tension ring implantation. The surgeon must consider the risk-to-benefit ratio of early versus late insertion for the optimal timing of capsular tension ring implantation.RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o momento apropriado para implante de anel de tens ão capsular em casos de fraqueza zonular devida à sÃndrome pseudoesfoliativa.

Optical coherence tomography angiography: microvascular alterations in diabetic eyes without diabetic retinopathy
Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography angiography may not be the most appropriate tool for detecting preclinical changes in patients with diabetes, moreover, optical coherence tomography angiography; does not replace clinical examinations. Glycemic contr ol should be the primary clinical parameter considered during retinopathy screening. Larger studies are necessary to confirm these findings.RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever altera ções microvasculares na mácula em diabéticos do tipo 2 sem retinopatia diabética e pacientes saudáveis, e correlacionar achados com perfil clÃnico nos diabéticos.

Grating visual acuity impairment assessed by sweep visually evoked potentials in children with optic pathway tumors unable to perform optotype acuity tests
Conclusion: In children with optic pathway tumors who were unable to perform recognition acuity tests, it was possible to quantify visual impairment by sweep-visually evoked potentials and to evaluate interocular differences in acuity. The severity of age-based grating visual acuity deficit and interocular differences was in accordance with ophthalmological abnormalities and neuroimaging results. Grating visual acuity deficit is useful for characterizing visual status in children with optic pathway tumors and for supporting neuro-oncologic management.RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar o grau de defici ência visual em crianças ...

Is hypermetropia regressing in accommodative esotropia?
Conclusion: The amount of deviation and hypermetropia gradually decreased in accommodative esotropia during follow-up. On the other hand, it may be incorrect to assure patients that the amount of deviation will decreas e in parallel with the refractive error.RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a rela ção entre alterações na hipermetropia e o alinhamento ocular em pacientes com esotropia acomodativa. Métodos: Foram analisados retrospectivamente prontuários médicos de pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados com esotropia acomodativa refrativa (com esotropia eliminada ou reduzida a menos de 1 0 D com correção completa da hiperm...

Use of computerized campimetry and/or optical coherence tomography for glaucoma diagnosis by non-glaucoma specialists
Conclusions: Non-glaucoma specialists could not differentiate glaucoma from increased physiological cupping when using color retinography assessment alone. Diagnostic accuracy and inter-rater agreement improved significantly with the addition of visual field or optical coherence tomography. However, the use of both modalities did not improve sensitivity/specificity.RESUMO Objetivos: Verificar a influ ência do campo visual e/ou tomografia de coerência óptica, quando analisados em associação à retinografia colorida, na diferenciação entre indivÃduos com glaucoma daqueles com aumento fisiológico de escavação. MÃ...

The effects of pharmacological accommodation and cycloplegia on axial length and choroidal thickness
Conclusion: Pharmacological accommodation may change ocular measurements, such as choroidal thickness and axial length. This condition should be considered when performing ocular measurements, such as intraocular lens power calculations.RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos da acomoda ção farmacológica e da cicloplegia nas medições oculares. Métodos: participaram do estudo 33 voluntários saudáveis (média de idade [± DP], 32,97 anos [± 5,21 anos]).

Probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Conclusions: Low certainty evidence suggests that early probing has the same success rate as late probing. Evidence of moderate certainty suggests that late probing has a lower success rate than bicanalicular silastic intubation in patients with complex congenital nasolacrimal duct obstructione.RESUMO Objetivo: A sondagem lacrimal tem sido o tratamento de escolha para a obstru ção lacrimonasal congênita que não apresenta resolução espontânea. Contudo, não há consenso sobre qual é a melhor época para a realização da sondagem e se ela é melhor do que outras terapias. O objetivo foi avaliar a efetividade da s...

Lacrimal gland atrophy and dry eye related to isotretinoin, androgen, and prolactin: differential diagnosis for Sjögren’s syndrome
This report is of three cases of sicca syndrome, initially suspected to be Sj ögren ’ s syndrome, which was ruled out by clinical and laboratory investigations. The patients were a 24-year-old woman, a 32-year-old man, and a 77-year-old woman with chronic symptoms of sicca syndrome, including dry eye syndrome. The first case was associated with the use of isotretinoin, a retinoic acid. The second was associated with the use of anabolic androgenic steroids, and the third was related to a prolactin- secreting pituitary adenoma. All cases manifested sicca, including dry eye syndrome, after those events, and the manifestati...
