Flattening of the posterior
sclera: hypotony or elevated intracranial pressure?
Can LOX act directly on the
sclera of myopic eyes and become an effective crosslinking agent?
Ocular lesions are associated with plaque formation on the cornea and
sclera and papilloma formation on the lateral limbus of eye.
The retina, the choroid, and the
sclera were part of the posterior eye wall as a highly reflective, slightly curvilinear echo.
In summary, the authors presented interesting findings of a thinner
sclera in patients with RA as compared to healthy subjects.
The oldest method used for pterygium surgery is the bare
sclera technique.
We report a 40 year old male with no known comorbids who came with complaints of fever with rigors and chills, right hypochondriac pain, and yellow discolouration of the
sclera. A CT scan abdomen with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) gave a diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the liver with pancreatitis, cholangitis and jaundice due to involvement of the biliary tree and common bile duct ERCP was done and a stent was placed after which the patient was referred to general surgery department where the resection of cyst was performed under general anaesthesia.
Dr Safi Darden, a co-author on the study, added: "It is well known that in humans the white
sclera of the eye is used to signal gaze direction - it provides others with information on what we are looking at.
He covers conjunctival infections and inflammations; conjunctival degenerations and mass lesions; anterior segment developmental anomalies; ectatic conditions of the cornea; corneal dystrophies; corneal degenerations and deposits; corneal infections, inflammations, and surface disorders; systemic and immunological conditions affecting the cornea; anterior
sclera and iris; surgery and complications; and trauma.
Suprachoroidal CLS-TA is Clearside's proprietary suspension of the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide formulated for administration to the back of the eye via the suprachoroidal space, or SCS, which is the space located between the choroid and the outer protective layer of the eye known as the
sclera. TOPAZ is a multicenter, randomized, masked, controlled trial to assess the safety and efficacy of suprachoroidal CLS-TA used together with one of two intravitreal anti-VEGF agents, Lucentis or Avastin in treatment naive patients with RVO.
Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer that lies between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the
sclera and cornea.
Open globe injury is injury to the cornea or
sclera. It is usually the result of penetrating eye trauma and thus are not so common [3,4].
Many studies have shown that
sclera riboflavin/UVA collagen cross-linking can effectively enhance biomechanical strength of the
sclera and could potentially be one of the most promising methods for treating pathological myopia [1-4].
Then, the patient was admitted to our hospital with high-grade fever, significant short of breath, sputum production, conjunctival hemorrhage, purpura, yellow discoloration of the skin and
sclera, tachycardia, and edema on the extremities.
