Komplikationen einer großen kongenitalen Ziliarkörperzyste
2002
Background Multiple cysts of iris and ciliary body may cause many complications such as acute or chronic angle closure glaucoma. Patient We present a boy with multiple congenital cysts of the iris pigment epithelium and a voluminous cyst of the unpigmented ciliary body epithelium of the right eye. This resulted in lenticular astigmatism, concomitant strabismus divergens and subsequently to anisometropia. The voluminous cyst (8 x 12 mm in diameter) was folded around the lens, reached the optic axis and resulted in displacement of the lens and contact between the iris and the corneal endothelium from 6.30 to 11. After puncture and partial resection of the cyst at the age of 8 months the boy d…

Morphologische und funktionelle Ergebnisse nach transpupillarer Thermotherapie (TTT) maligner Aderhautmelanome
2006
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the course of tumor regression and visual impairment in choroidal melanomas treated by transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) alone. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective, non-randomized analysis 26 patients suffering from primary choroidal melanoma (posterior to the equator with base < or = 12 and thickness < or = 4.5 mm) were treated with the TTT standard protocol and followed for 33 - 45 months. Fluorescein and ICG angiographies were performed initially and after tumor regression clinically. RESULTS 22 tumors were significantly flattened after 1 - 3 TTT sessions. 4 tumors required additional therapy with ruthenium plaque. Visual acuity remaine…
<p>Multimodal Evaluation of Visual Function in Geographic Atrophy versus Normal Eyes</p>
2020
Purpose To comprehensively evaluate visual function in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) as compared to normal eyes. Patients and Methods Sixty-three eyes from 63 patients ≥50 years old were recruited for this observational study; 31 were identified as normal macular health eyes and 32 with GA. Visual function was tested with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), low luminance visual acuity (LLVA), low luminance deficit (LLD), reading speed, macular integrity microperimetry, fixation stability, and contrast sensitivity function (CSF). Anatomic function was evaluated with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). Quality of life and vision were a…
Kinetik von Indozyaningrün (ICG) und adjuvanter Einsatz zur transpupillaren Thermotherapie (TTT) pigmentarmer kleiner Aderhautmelanome
2004
BACKGROUND To determine the efficacy of intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) as an adjuvant to TTT for hypopigmented choroidal melanomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS ICG kinetics in melanoma tissue were evaluated by taking standardized ICG angiograms in 28 eyes with small choroidal melanomas. In a prospective non-randomized analysis 12 eyes with hypopigmented choroidal melanomas (posterior to the equator with thickness </= 4.5 mm) were treated with the TTT standard protocol developed by an intravenous injection of 100 mg ICG in 10 ml aqueous solvent 2 minutes after starting TTT. These eyes were followed-up for at least 22 months (mean 29). RESULTS Pharmacokinetic analyses revealed the onset of fluo…
Photodynamic Therapy in Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularisation
2002
Summary The exudative form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among people over 50 years of age in the western world. In 2–10% of cases a subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation develops. Conventional laser treatment leads to an unspecific destruction of the CNV including adjacent retinal structures. In addition, significant and immediate vision loss occurs, particularly in cases with central, subfoveal localization of the CNV.Photodynamic therapy (PDT) employing photochemical activation of verteporfin as a photosensitizer induces selective occlusion of CNV with minimal damage to the neurosensory retina and does not impair visual acuity. It became ava…
Urgent Vitrectomy with Vancomycin Infusion, Silicone Oil Endotamponade, and General Antibiotic Treatment in Multiple Cases of Endophthalmitis from a …
2021
The aim of this study was to report on the anatomical and functional results of surgical management of seven cases of endophthalmitis related to a single day of intravitreal aflibercept injections. Patients with signs of endophthalmitis who underwent aflibercept injections (seven eyes) performed on the same day were retrospectively evaluated. The data of visual acuity and optical coherence tomography (OCT) within nine months of the follow-up and the treatment and results of microbiological cultures are reported. Four of the total seven cases had a positive bacterial culture outcome (Streptococcus mitis). All patients underwent vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification when the eyes were …
Acquired Ocular Toxoplasmosis
1991
A 31-year-old man exhibited a bilateral deterioration of vision over the course of 1 week. The right fundus showed the picture of a central vein occlusion, and the left of a disseminated choroiditis. Indirect immunofluorescent testing indicated a titer of 1:2048 for toxoplasmosis. Fluorescein angiography revealed a hitherto unique picture of isolated choroidal occlusions but neither a central vein occlusion nor a disseminated choroiditis. Using only specific antitoxoplasmotic therapy, the patient regained full visual acuity on both sides. The original findings and the results of a 14-year follow-up are presented.
Visual and postural eye-height information is flexibly coupled in the perception of virtual environments.
2021
We conducted two experiments to investigate how observers integrate postural and visual eye-height information when estimating the layout of interior space. In Experiment 1, we varied postural and visual eye-height information independently of each other in a virtual-reality setup. Observers estimated the width, depth, and height of simulated rooms. All dimensions were perceived as larger when the virtual visual eye-height corresponded to sitting on the floor as compared with standing upright. In contrast, the estimates remained widely unaffected by the observer's physical posture (likewise sitting vs. standing). In Experiment 2, we studied effects of the viewing condition (real vs. virtual…
Time-Course of Grammatical Processing in Deaf Readers: An Eye-Movement Study.
2019
Abstract Twenty participants who were deaf and 20 chronological age-matched participants with typical hearing (TH) (mean age: 12 years) were asked to judge the correctness of written sentences with or without a grammatically incongruent word while their eye movements were registered. TH participants outperformed deaf participants in grammaticality judgment accuracy. For both groups, First Pass and Total Fixation Times of target words in correct trials were significantly longer in the incongruent condition than in the congruent one. However, whereas TH students showed longer First Pass in the target area than deaf students across congruity conditions, deaf students made more fixations than t…
