Diseases of the eyes (ophthalmology)

Vitreous turbidity: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Turmoil of the vitreous can arise as a result of metabolic disorders in diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, as well as inflammatory diseases of the vasculature and injuries.

Cataract and systemic diseases

Many systemic diseases in children can be accompanied by congenital cataracts. The overwhelming majority are extremely rare and are of interest to ophthalmologists-pediatricians.

Chronic postoperative endophthalmitis

Late chronic sluggish endophthalmitis develops in the event of a delayed malovirulent pathogen in the capsular sac. The onset of the disease varies from 4 weeks to several years (an average of 9 months) after surgery and, as a rule, is a consequence of the usual extraction of cataracts with the implantation of ZK-IOL.

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis

Acute endophthalmitis is classified as an extremely serious complication occurring in 1 out of 1000 cases.

Complications after cataract surgery

The rupture of the posterior capsule is a rather serious complication after the operation for cataracts, as it can be accompanied by loss of the vitreous, migration of lens masses back and less often - by expulsive bleeding.

Complicated cataract

Complicated cataracts are caused by unfavorable external and internal factors. Complicated cataracts are characterized by the development of turbidity under the posterior capsule of the lens and in the peripheral parts of the posterior cortex.

Congenital cataract

Congenital cataract develops as a result of intrauterine pathology and is often combined with different developmental malformations of both the eye and other organs.

Cataract

Cataracts are congenital or acquired degenerative opacification of the lens. The main symptom is the gradual painless blurring of vision. The diagnosis is established or installed ophthalmoscopically and at inspection on slit lamp. Treatment of cataracts consists in surgical removal of the lens and implantation of the intraocular lens.

Lens dislocation and subluxation: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Dislocation of the lens - complete detachment of the lens from the supporting - ligament and displacement of it into the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye. In this case, a sharp decrease in visual acuity occurs, since a lens with a strength of 19.0 D, dropped out of the optical system of the eye.

Artificial lens (artifact)

Artifakia - the presence of an artificial lens in the eye. The eye with the artificial lens is called artifical.
