Introduction:Marcus Gunn syndrome is a rare phenomenon with very less number of cases reported in literature. It may be congenital or acquired.Aim:The aim of this case report was to report the clinical characteristics of Marcus Gunn patient from our Clinic.Case report:A comprehensive opthalmologic examination, CDVA (corrected distance visual acuity), fundus examination and photography, was conducted in Marcus Gunn patient. Clinical findings of patient presented as - chin positioned slightly upwards, extraocular motility normal on both eyes, cover test with normal findings, pupillary examination normal on both eyes. Left upper eyelid was in a lower position than the right one. On right eye, rima interpalpebrarum was 9 mm with upgaze of 13mm. On the left eye, rima interpalpebrarum was 5 mm with upgaze of 6 mm, and with open mouth, left rima interpalpebrarum was 10 mm. Visual acuity on both eyes was 1.0. Cycloplegic refraction on both eyes was +0,75 diopters (D), and Lang test was normal. In the differential diagnosis of patients with ptosis, Marcus Gunn jaw winking syndrome should be considered especially if it improves during feeding, sucking, chewing, smiling or any kind of mouth movement. In case of ptosis always do the jaw test. Have the infant bottle-feed. An older child can chew gum. Have the patient open the mouth, move the jaw from side to side, or protrude the jaw forward.Conclusion:Address first to treatment of any amblyopia if present - eyeglasses, patching etc., or strabismus. Think twice before deciding to operate.

Aim: To evaluate safety and efficacy of Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) procedure for the correction of high hypermetropia. Methods: Retrospective study of 160 patients (266 eyes) who underwent LASIK procedure for the correction of hypermetropia between +3.00 and +7.00 diopters(D) and cylinder up to 2.00D from January 2013 and August 2015. All ablations were performed with Wavelight Allegretto Eye-Q400Hzexcimer laser (Alcon, Forth Worth, TX, USA) with aberration free module and were centered on a corneal vertex. All flaps were made with Moria M2 (Moria, Antony, France) mechanical microkeratome (90μm head). Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected and corrected distant visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), spherical equivalent (SE) and a berrometry for 5mm pupil were measured. Measurements were taken at 1 week, 1,3,6 and 12 months after the surgery. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Postoperative UDVA was lower than preoperative CDVA at 1 week( p =0.001), at 1 month there was no difference ( p =0.099), and at 3,6 and 12 months UDVA was better ( p <0.0001). Preoperative SE was 4.69±1.20D (+3.75 to +7.50D). At 1 week SE was 0.03±0.67D (-0.50 to +0.63D), while at 1 year regressed to 0.58±0.56D (+0.25 to +0.88D). Sphere shifted from negative values targeted in treatment planning to compensate for regression to positive values. There was significant difference in SE at every time point ( p <0.0005). There was a significant increase in coma ( p <0.0001), trefoil ( p <0.0001, p =0.0006) and spherical aberration ( p =0.022, p =0.0052) at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively, without change throughout the rest of follow up. Conclusion: LASIK for high hypermetropia showed satisfactory results in postoperative refraction with reasonable regression without significant loss of lines of visual acuity. However, more test are necessary to asses optical quality.

Introduction: The crosslinking (CXL) procedure using the standard Dresden protocol is established as the gold standard for the treatment of progressive keratoconus. Aim: The aim of this paper is to correlate the pachymetry and elevation back map (EBM) changes in the period from 3 to12 months of keratoconus patients after the CXL procedure. Methods: Forty-four eyes of 34 patients with keratoconus were analyzed after performed standard Dresden protocol CXL procedure. All of them underwent complete preoperative examination with a follow up of 12 months with a focus on pachymetry and EBM changes performed by Oculus Pentacam (Scheimpflug technology) analysis. Results: Pachymetry changed significantly in 12 months post cross-linking, especially in the first 6 months after which it slightly increased. Differences in EBM preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Corneal pachymetry in keratoconus patients decreases after the CXL procedure. Differences in pachymetry preoperatively and 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively were statistically significant, but the value of corneal thickness increased from the third month to 12 months post-op. Differences in EBM preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively were not still statistically significant, which is good, because the increase in elevation, as one of the signs of progression of the keratoconus-did not occur.

Introduction: Refractive surgery procedures, transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (T-PRK), and femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (Fs-LASIK) are regarded as safe and efficacious methods for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism. These two methods do not have many differences in results when treating spherical myopia while differences exist in the treatment of astigmatism correction. Vector analysis presents a powerful tool to show the real differences between these two methods regarding high ocular aberrations and central corneal thickness of treated eyes. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate changes in higher order ocular aberrations (HOAs) and central corneal thickness (CCT) following treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism above -5.00DS and up to -2.00DC after either T-PRK or Fs-LASIK. Methods: Patients (30 eyes per group) underwent T-PRK (group I) or Fs-LASIK (group II) procedure using the Schwind Amaris 750S laser. HOAs (3mm&5mm pupil) and CCT were measured objectively at pre-, 1,3 & 6 months postop in each case. Results: Key results at 6 months were: i) mean values of trefoil (5mm pupil) were 0.092μm (sd,0.055,95% CI 0.072 to 0.112) & 0.126μm (sd,0.078,95% CI 0.098 to 0.154) in group I, and 0.088μm (sd,0.058,95% CI 0.067 to 0.109) & 0.064μm (sd,0.034,95% CI 0.052 to 0.076) in group II (P=0.001 at 6 months); ii) Changes in CTT (ΔCTT) and best spherical equivalent correction (ΔBSE) was significant in group II (ΔCCT=-26.55[ΔBSE]-14.06,R=0.486,P=0.006) but not in group I (p=0.034). Conclusions: After T-PRK trefoil is worse than Fs-LASIK. The predictability of corneal changes is better following Fs-LASIK.
