Xerophthalmia and Anterior Segment Blindness

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1976
The prevalence of presumed vitamin A-related corneal scars among 5,589 preschool-age Haitian children ranged from 1.2 per 1,000 in the south, to almost 1% in the famine-afflicted north. These scars accounted for at least 45% of all corneal scars, and all bilateral corneal blindness encountered. Most lesions were acquired during the first three years of

Fibrosis in the Anterior Segments of the Eye

Endocrine‚ Metabolic & Immune Disorders-Drug Targets, 2010
The anterior segment of the eye ball, i. e., cornea and conjunctiva, serves as the barrier to the external stimuli. Cornea is transparent and is a "window"of the light sense, while conjunctiva covers the sclera, the main part of the eyeshell. Fibrosis/scarring in cornea potentially impairs vision by the reduction of its transparency and the alteration ...

A Review of Anterior Segment Dysgeneses

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2006
The anterior segment dysgeneses are an ill-defined group of ocular developmental abnormalities that share some common features and have a high prevalence of glaucoma. Current classification of what are and what are not anterior segment dysgeneses seems to vary and our knowledge of them is incomplete.

Management of anterior segment trauma

Disease-a-Month, 2014
Ophthalmologic emergencies have the potential to lead to severe morbidity and loss of vision. The ability to recognize and efficiently relay pertinent findings to an ophthalmologist is critical to preventing life-changing damage to the eye. Basic understanding of ocular anatomy, physiology, and pathology will facilitate a successful discussion between ...

Ocular cysticercosis of the anterior segment

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2007
A 6-year-old girl presented with signs of severe anterior uveitis. After initiating treatment, a cyst like lesion was observed in the anterior chamber that led to the diagnosis of ocular cysticercosis that was ultimately confirmed with histopathologic analysis. Ocular cysticercosis usually affects the extraocular muscle.

Anterior segment fluorescein cineangiography

Albrecht von Graefes Archiv f�r Klinische und Experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 1978
We have developed a technique for performing anterior segment fluorescein cineangiography. Illumination is obtained with a halogen lamp of a standard slide projector that is fitted with a blue excitation filer. Cinematography occurs with a movie camera fitted with an absorption-type barrier filter and mounted to a photo slit lamp through a cineadapter.

Toxic anterior segment syndrome

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) is an acute postoperative sterile inflammatory reaction that occurs 12–48 h following uneventful cataract surgery. In the past this condition was known by many names, such as postoperative uveitis and sterile endophthalmitis. Even though the expression ‘toxic anterior segment inflammation’ was used by Monson et al

Fibrinolysis in the Anterior Segment of the Eye

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1967
In the eye of man and Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) the vessels of the ciliary body, the iris, and the proximal scleral vascular plexus are fibrinolytically highly active. The trabeculae and the ciliary processes are inactive. The endothelium of the canal of Schlemm of adult man and the junctions of collector channels with the canal of Schlemm in ...
