Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialA comparison of the efficacy and tolerability of dorzolamide and acetazolamide as adjunctive therapy to timolol. Oral to Topical CAI Study Group.
To compare the efficacy and tolerability of dorzolamide to acetazolamide. ⋯ Mean IOP was slightly lower (by approximately 1 mmHg) with acetazolamide, while dorzolamide demonstrated much better tolerability.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of Fucithalmic viscous eye drops and Chloramphenicol eye ointment as a single treatment in corneal abrasion.
To compare the healing of the cornea and the incidence of infection after traumatic corneal epithelial defect after single treatment with double bandage combined with either Fucithalmic single unit dose eye drops or chloramphenicol eye ointment. ⋯ The Fucithalmic and chloramphenicol ointment treated groups showed no significant difference in corneal healing, local side effects, or signs of local infection.

To elucidate demographic and nosologic characteristics of congenital ectopia lentis (ECL) in Denmark. ⋯ The majority of affected persons have congenital ectopia lentis as a manifestation of a systemic disease. It is therefore essential to evaluate ECL patients systemically with a general physical examination, a metabolic screening, and an echocardiography as a minimum, in order to make a nosologic diagnosis and to prevent potentially life-threatening systemic complications.
