Neuro-Ophthalmic Training Centers in Brazil: Are There Enough?

Luciano M Simao

Article Type: Letter to the Editor | Indexed Archive: Volume 4

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of Ophthalmology representing an intersection of two Medical areas: neurology and ophthalmology. In fact, a neuro-ophthalmic disorder may be related to any area of internal Medicine. Unfortunately, neuro-ophthalmology is facing a human resource crisis, even in the USA....

Can OCT Scan Averaging Induce a Loss of Information?

Desmettre T, Menard M, Colas E and Tadayoni R

Article Type: Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 4

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a well-established imaging modality for the diagnosis of retinal conditions. Final images arise from computed scans derived from the backscatter of short coherence light. An averaging of retina scans is regularly integrated in the algorithm of most OCT devices....

Successful Results of Severe Corneal Perforation Using Long Term Glycerin Corneal Donor Cryopreserved At -80 °C: Case Report

Villalba R, Gimenez-Almenara J, Gallardo JM and Oyonarte S

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 4

There has been long interest in developing alternatives to donor corneas preservation for providing tissue during prolonged period of time. In recent years, accumulative evidence suggest that glycerin preserved cornea at -80 °C as alternative method for corneal preservation maintaining sterility, thickness, optical transparency and mechanical strength of the tissue....

Study of Critical Flicker Fusion (CFF) Function and P100 latency of Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) in Normal subjects and Patients who Recovered from Acute Optic Neuritis

Yanjun Chen, Kevin A Buhr and James Ver Hoeve

Article Type: Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 4

Critical Flicker Fusion (CFF) function has been used to assess visual function in patients with impaired vision. The purpose of this study is to seek further evidence to support the role of the CFF in the assessment of optic nerve function by comparing CFF to implicit time of the P100 of Pattern Reversal Visual Evoked Potential (PRVEP) in normal subjects and patients who recovered from acute optic neuritis....

Haemophilus Influenzae Endophthalmitis Associated with a Glaucoma Drainage Implant in an Adult

Bac T Nguyen, Patricia Chevez-Barrios, Robert E Coffee and Benjamin J Frankfort

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 4

A 65-year-old male with primary open-angle glaucoma underwent tube shunt surgery with an Ahmed Glaucoma Valve FP-7 (New World Medical, Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in the left eye for uncontrolled intraocular pressure, worsening visual field defects, and advanced glaucomatous optic neuropathy. In that eye, the patient had previously undergone selective laser trabeculoplasty, phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens placement, and pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detac...
