Our study evaluated the visual and refractive results of LASEK and anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation performed for high myopic anisometropia with amblyopia and contact lens intolerance in children compared with conventional treatment by contact lenses. Fourty-three patients (Group A) aged 3 to 7 years (mean, 5,6 years) with high myopic anisometropia and amblyopia had per...

Teratomy jsou nádory vznikající z embryonálních kmenových buněk a jsou složeny z elementů všech tří zárodečných vrstev. Lokalizace tohoto typu nádoru v očnici bývá velmi raritní. S růstem cystických útvarů teratomu dochází k rozvoji příznaků již v prvním roce života, ojediněle později. Operační řešení je velmi svízelné, bulbus bývá zachován zcela výjimečně. V naší kazuistice představujeme dívku, k...

Aim: To evaluate the epidemiological data, etiology and clinical characteristics, and to assess the efficacy and safety of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy in the treatment of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) in children and adolescents. The results are compared with data from previously published studies and case reports. Material and Methods: Retrospec...

Purpose: To evaluate efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of pegaptanib or bevacizumab and laser photocoagulation for treatment of threshold stage 3+ retinopathy ofprematurity (ROP) affecting zone I and posterior zone II, and to compare the results in terms of regression, development of peripheral retinal vessels with conventional laserphotocoagulation or combined with cryotherapy. Method...

The authors evaluate the effectiveness of new method – Color Reversal Checkerboard Stimulation of the retina (CRCS) in the treatment of unilateral anisometropic amblyopia in group of total 157 children followed during the period 2008–2012 at the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, University Hospital and Masaryk University in Brno. The authors evaluate the improvement in best corrected visual a...

The authors mention a case report of a 13 year old girl with renal disease, who visited the outpatient Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, University Hospital Brno with subjective complaints on decreased vision of both eyes. Ophthalmologic examination showed physiological foveolar reflex on fundus and very discrete changes of the retinal pigment epithelium in macula, the fundus periphery was wi...
