Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Evaluating clinical signs in trabeculectomized eyes.
To evaluate interobserver agreement for clinical signs in trabeculectomized eyes when examined face-to-face with slit-lamp biomicroscopy (SL) or by remote examination using telemedicine (real-time remote video imaging; TM). ⋯ SL biomicroscopy and TM telemedicine examination may permit reliable clinical assessment of trabeculectomized eyes. However, remote examination with TM is more limited with respect to assessing bleb height and bleb wall thickness. The assessment of bleb morphology and microcysts was unreliable with both instruments. We propose that TM examination of trabeculectomized eyes appears safe and appropriate in situations where face-to-face examination by an ophthalmologist is not practical.

Comparative Study
Comparison between clinical and ultrasound findings in patients with vitreous hemorrhage.
To ascertain the causes of vitreous hemorrhage and to determine the accuracy of ultrasound (U/S) in these cases, based on the degree of agreement between ultrasound and clinical findings. ⋯ The most common cause of vitreous hemorrhage was proliferative diabetic retinopathy, followed by ocular trauma. U/S correctly diagnosed all cases of retinal detachment, but less than 50% of retinal tears. A total of 18.9% of the eyes were falsely diagnosed as having retinal detachment. U/S is an effective diagnostic tool in patients with vitreous hemorrhage.

To investigate and compare the surgical outcomes of limbal autograft and limbal allograft transplantations in patients with corneal burns. ⋯ Limbal autograft transplantation is an effective and safe procedure for unilateral corneal burns. It seems that limbal allograft transplantation is better combined with penetrating keratoplasty for a better visual outcome and higher graft survival rate. Systemic immunosuppression seems to be necessary for limbal allografts even in the presence of HLA-matched donor tissues.
