Abstract
Therapeutic keratoplasty has a definitive role in the management of progressive microbial keratitis refractory to medical therapy. The primary aim of the procedure is to eliminate the infectious disease process and establish the integrity of the globe. This procedure offers a microbiological cure ra...

Abstract
We compared the frequency of positive FHV-1 PCR test results from 48 clinical cases of ocular disease in cats suspected to be due to FHV-1 between 1 research and 2 commercial laboratories in Canada. We also compared PCR results for Chlamydophila felis and Mycoplasma spp. between the 2 commercial lab...

Abstract
Injections of HealaFlow below the scleral flap and the conjunctiva at the end of the surgery along with intraoperative application of MMC showed promising IOP-lowering effects in trabeculectomy. A prospective randomised study is required to confirm these preliminary results.

Abstract
A total of 422 PLHIV/SIDA were recruited including 281 who were undergoing HAART. The sex-ratio was 2 female/1 male. Mean age was 34 +/- 2294 years. Involvement of the anterior segment was observed in 36.3% of patients and involvement of the posterior segment in 54.1%. The second most common ocular...

Abstract
The shunt arrangement, which connects the anterior chamber to potentially microbe-populated cavities or to the lower lid fornix and its flora, might be suspected to allow rapid retrograde invasion of infective agents, resulting in endophthalmitis. In this series of KPro patients, however, the incide...

Abstract
Red eye is the cardinal sign of ocular inflammation. The condition is usually benign and can be managed by primary care physicians. Conjunctivitis is the most common cause of red eye. Other common causes include blepharitis, corneal abrasion, foreign body, subconjunctival hemorrhage, keratitis, irit...

Abstract
There were 530 cases admitted with acute orbital inflammation over a 9-year period from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2009. This study identified a significant association between orbital infection incidence and socioeconomic deprivation and ethnicity. Cases in the moderate deprivation group had 1.5 times...

Abstract
Immune privilege is the condition in which selected immune responses are suppressed or excluded in certain organs, such as the eye. Immune privilege in the eye was described over 130 years ago, but its significance was not appreciated until the early 1950s. Investigations beginning in the 1970s ushe...

Abstract
We also isolated recombinant viruses from eye and trigeminal ganglia of KOS+HSV-IL-4 infected mice.
In this study we found that ocular infection of BALB/c mice with a mixture of HSV-IL-4 and KOS resulted in increased death and increased eye disease. In contrast, when mice were infected in one eye wi...

The incidence of resuturing was 5.4% (51 eyes). The number of cases requiring resuturing was higher in corneal grafts performed for microbial keratitis (12%) than those for keratoconus (10%) and corneal endothelial decompensation (2.5%; p = 0.08). Wound dehiscence was the leading cause for resuturin...

The aim of the study was to determine the ocular safety of a single intravitreal dose of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in dogs. Eleven healthy dogs received a single IVTA injection (8 mg) through the mid-temporal pars-plana of the left eye (OS) using a 27G needle. The dogs were re-evaluated immedia...
