• Kayser-Fleischer ring
  5 August 2008

  The Kayser-Fleischer ring is a brown discolouration at the outer margin of the cornea because of the deposition of copper in Descemet membrane. Slit lamp examination is required for secure detection.
  The Kayser-Fleischer ring is observed in Wilson disease.

• primary closed-angle glaucoma
  20 April 2008

  Primary closed-angle glaucoma is caused by sudden blockage of the flow across the pupil. Pressure will rapidly build up in the eye causing pain and redness. Vision becomes blurred and halos are seen around bright objects.
  Accompanying symptoms include headache and vomiting. Diagnosis is made from obvious physical findings: pupils dilated, cornea swollen, reduced vision, redness, pain.
  Treatment is no longer focused on trabecular or uveoscleral passageways. The formation of fluid can be (...)
