To put forward better prevention and treatment strategies in trachomatous tissue damage and tear function disorders, a field survey was performed in a village in the province of Turkey, which is a settlement with endemic trachoma according to the World Health Organization. Samples of tears, upper tarsal conjunctiva, and serum were taken from patients with 5 different stages of trachoma, including 13 patients in the initial stage and 15 in each of the other stages. Samples were also collected from 15 healthy control patients. We measured the levels of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-2, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). We measured immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgA, and IgG levels in tears using immunodiffussion plates. EGF, human leukocyte antigen – antigen D related (HLA-DR), and interleukin -2 receptor (IL-2R) expression, and lymphocyte and monocyte infiltration were examine d using direct immunofluorescence of upper tarsal conjunctiva samples. Antichlamydial IgM, IgA, and IgG serum levels were also measured. The distribution of trachoma in this residential area and its complications according to age and genders were determine d using additional field scans. Data analysis revealed that the significant increase in the levels of neutrophils, IL -1, TNF, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which are the indicators of nonspecific immune response in the early stages of trachoma, results in suppression/dominance of IL-2, IL-2R, HLA-DR, helper T cells, and 13 lymphocytes and immunoglobulins as the disease progresses. EGF increases to very high levels in later stages.

Optic nerve avulsion is a rare but serious presentation of ocular trauma. It is characterized by disinsertion of the nerve fibers from the globe at?the level of the lamina cribrosa. It is usually associated with a decelerating injury of significant momentum and usually results in a severe and permanent visual loss.1,2 Here we report a patient with optic nerve avulsion secondary to a sporting injury and discuss the role of MRI and B- Scan ultra-sound.

Doyne was descripted angioid streaks (AS) in 1889 as spider-like irregular, bilateral, dark red to gray lines under the retina around optic disk.1 Histopathological studies showed that AS represents breaks and crack-like dehiscences in calcified, thickened both collagenous and elastic part of Bruch membrane. Both atrophy and hyperplasia were developed in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and destruction of choriocapillary layers were occurred.2 Diagnosis of AS is based on presence of the classical clinical appearance on fundus evaluation and optical coherence tomography (OCT). In fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) hyperfluorescence were observed over the breaks due to RPE atrophy and hypofluorescence associated with RPE hyperplasia. Complications of AS such as choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV), subretinal hemorrhage and pigment epithelial detachment (PED) may cause legal blindness, especially in middleaged patients. While, laser photocoagulation, macular translocation surgery, transpupillary thermotherapy and photodynamic therapy were used to applied in treatment of AS patients with visual loss in last decades, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection is the most effective and current treatment method for CNV due to AS.3–7 In this case report, we presented an AS with visual loss in one eye due to CNV which is followed-up 6-year and treated with multiple different anti-VEGF injection. We aimed to show the risk factor of developing CNV in case with AS, the long-term results of different anti-VEGF therapies, the superiority of them from each other and the effectiveness of switch therapy.

In a rapidly evolving scientifically and technologically savvy world, the globe never ceases to be inundated with revolutionary inventions and groundbreaking technology. The only way these inventions and discoveries would become endorsed and consequently patronized is by ascertaining their authenticity and validity through experimental research studies. Experimental research studies, thus, have become the fulcrum around which new interventions get to justify their inclusion through what I would metaphorically term as “preliminary stage competitions, following which successful experimental teams become seeded.” So yes, scientists are now in competition or better still, an intellectual rush to etch their names and products in the annals of scientific laurels. This arguably has led to the concept of what is now popularly known as “p-hacking.”

Diabetic macular edema (DME) induced by increasing vascular leakage due to thickened basement membrane, thus will lead to early reduction of vision in working age group,1 DME previously treated with laser and intravitreal steroids (triamcinolone acetonide) in the pre Anti-VEGF era; however, intravitreal Anti-VEGF injection gained popularity due to easy administration, safe profile and good efficacy. Chronic persistent DME presents as long-standing DME usually more than 18 months, which features diffuse pattern, OCT may show photoreceptor layer loss, and usually responds poorly to Anti-VEGF. Usually response to Anti-VEGF treatment is poor when OCT fails to show reduction of retinal thickness of less than 10% or/and BCVA improvement after six injections, then DME deemed as chronic, and treatment should be changed to intravitreal steroids, because inflammatory mediators are the main driver of DME.

Studies in recent times have shown that health trainees across the world usually report that they felt not properly positioned to deal with ethical issues or dilemmas they came across during clinical work. Medical code of ethics, etiquette and conduct of professionals are guidelines that have been stipulated to protect the patient. The main aim of this research was to assess the knowledge ophthalmic trainees had in ethics and also assess their observations made while under tutelage. A descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was used in this research. Fifty (50) final year ophthalmic trainees were sampled conveniently from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Cape Coast and Korle-Bu Ophthalmic Nursing School. Questionnaires were administered to 80 respondents. About 53% of trainees recalled and could recite the principal elements of the ethical codes and 60% reported that the Patients’ Charter was easy to implement. Fifty percent (50%) of the trainees reported that practitioners sometimes informed patients on their conditions with the same percentage reporting that practitioners sometimes involved patients in decision making on their ocular health condition. It is recommended that the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health should be more involved in the training of ophthalmic trainees and must include in their curriculum, a combination of lecture room work, community service and experiential learning. This would position the trainees in terms of confidence and know-how in handling issue regarding ethics.

Various impacts of the spontaneous neuronal noise on visual processing in the brain and the retina are extensively studying and discussing. Highly variable behavior is characteristic of healthy physiological systems, but dynamics of functional activity is simplifying in pathology and became either very ordered or characterized by entirely uncorrelated random oscillations. It has been demonstrated by several research groups that in hereditary retinal degeneration, sensory deafferentation arising from the loss of photoreceptors increases the spontaneous activity throughout the visual system and leads an aberrant rhythmic activity of retinal ganglion cells. In patients blind due to retinitis pigmentosa, retinal prosthetic devices are currently applying to obtain visual sensations induced by the electrical pulses. The right choice of the parameters of electrical stimuli is of great importance for achieving reliable responses from the RGCs and transmittance of encoded visual information to the brain. The temporal parameters of stimulation are supposed to be crucial to provide the further innovation development of such approach. We hypothesize that the periodic pathological activity in retinal degeneration not only is a factor that hampers the encoding of information and visual images of more quality. It also can aggravate the impact of deafferentation and play the negative role of in a formation of abnormal synaptic contacts during retinal remodeling contributing to the distortion of the complexity of neural circuits in the retina and the brain in retinal degenerations. We guess that the optical flicker and electrical stimulation therapy using the complex-structured (fractal) signals can be the promising approach providing both tuning the temporal sensitivity of the visual system and activation of the neuronal plasticity throughout the visual pathway. Future strategies of vision restoration apparently must be aimed to avoid the rhythmic activity in retinal circuits and to increase the quality of image representation. Here, we present the arguments that the utilizing the fractal modulation of the stimulating pulses in amplitude or frequency as well as using fractal temporal patterns in the background electrical prestimulation may be one of the prospective ways in future elaboration successful retinal prosthesis.

Post-traumatic iris defects, combined with crystalline lens abnormalities, are among the major complications of globe injuries.1 Individuals who lack adequate iris tissue suffer from glare, photophobia, visual field disturbances, and other visual disturbances that can cause social, mental, and psychological problems.2 Such patients suffer from severe visual impairment, secondary to aphakia.3 Herein, I describe an approach for the management of an aphakic, exophoric eye with traumatic aniridia, which was found in a patient who underwent transscleral fixation of an artificial iris prosthetic intraocular lens (IOL), 10 months after strabismus surgery.
