Methods: In 57 eyes of 30 patients who were referred for doppler ultrasound examination of the ICA we measured POBF and analyzed the correlation with degree of ipsilat-eral ICA stenosis. Results: There was a significant negative correlation between POBF and ipsilateral ICA stenosis (Pearson correlation coefficient, r =-0.516, P< 0.0001). In 14展开更多
Aim: To compare the efficacy of topical apraclonidine and bri-monidine eye drops to prevent intraocular pressure rising that can be seen in the early postoperative period after cataract surgery.

Methods: Twenty patients (14 women and 6 men) aged between 49-75 years old constituted our study group. The patients were operated because of senile cataracts. The展开更多

Despite our daily use of this examination many of the underlying concepts remain inadequately understood by clinicians. This didactic lecture will review and clarify some of these concepts including: 1. The anatomic basis of varying sensitivity, 2. Threshold and Fluctuation as defined by frequency of seeing curves; 3. Retinal adaptation and展开更多
