title: The difficulty of access to senile cataract treatment in Aparecida de Goiânia – Goiás. Brazil

description: Abstract Objective: To identify the difficulties of patients with senile cataract in the access to the facectomy by Unified Health System ( SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde) in the Medical and Diagnostic Center (CEMED) of Aparecida de Goiânia. Methods: Cross-sectional and observational research with data collection from a standardized questionnaire applied preoperatively. Results: The sample consisted of 150 patients: 56% women and 44% men. The average age was 66.05 ± 9.21 years. Most (57.3%) had a previous diagnosis of cataract and, of these, 56.7% did not seek previous treatment. The reasons that prevented previous treatment were: difficulty in accessing the health service (43.5%), fear of surgery (18.8%) and lack of clinical condition for surgery (18.8%). 78.7% of patients would like to have surgery on the same day they are diagnosed with cataract. 21.3% were against this proposal, and the fear of surgery (65%) was the main reason for not performing the facectomy immediately. Regarding the impairment in activities of daily living (ADL), 20.6% could not read magazines and newspapers, in contrast, 20.6% reported no significant impairment in their ADL. Conclusion: The main difficulties in accessing senile cataract treatment were: difficulty in accessing the specialized health system, fear of the procedure, lack of clinical condition for surgery. Thus, it is necessary to promote good quality and affordable surgery; carrying out projects that facilitate diagnosis and treatment, that act in population education, promoting population awareness and stimulating the search for treatment.

title: Spontaneous scleral rupture associated with retinochoroidal coloboma

description: Abstract We reported a case of ocular hypotony due to spontaneous scleral rupture in retinochoroidal coloboma and the treatment which was performed. This is a prospective case report in which a 21-year-old woman complained of abrupt vision loss in her left eye. Ocular hypotony due to spontaneous scleral rupture in retinochoroidal coloboma was identified through tests. An ultrassonography confirmed the scleral lesion but magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescein angiography have also proven to be useful. Due to the posterior location of the perforation, we opted for a sub-tenon injection of autologous blood and intraocular gas tamponade, which were successful, resulting in improved visual acuity and intraocular pressure. In this case, an alternative to invasive surgical procedure in the treatment of spontaneous scleral perforation and retinochoroidal coloboma was presented.

title: Epidemiological profile of corner donors in Piauí

description: Abstract Purpose: The study aimed to trace the epidemiological profile of donors of corneas in Piauí through searches in medical records. Methods: This is a descriptive, quantitative, observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study that aims to evaluate data obtained from medical records of 811 donors of corneas from the Getúlio Vargas Hospital in Teresina-PI, in the period of January 1, 2010 to 31 December 2016. Results: The study showed an increase in the number of donors over the period from 2010 to 2014, but decreased over the period from 2015 to 2016. There was also a predominance of male donors, aged between 21 and 59 years, from the city of Teresina and with regard to the donor's cause of death, the majority of deaths occurred due to external causes of morbidity and mortality (which include, mainly, violent deaths due to automobile accidents, suicides, stab wounds or fire) and the second largest cause was represented by diseases of the circulatory system. Conclusions: For the success of this process, it is essential to make the population aware of the importance and the need for organ and tissue donations for the benefit of sick patients, saving lives or rehabilitating them and, thus, allowing these individuals to participate fully in social life. and the usual economic activities of most citizens. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in programs, training and also to increase the number of qualified professionals, from the capture team to the transplant team, all of which are extremely important for the increase in corneal uptake.

title: Comparison of choroidal thickness in normal eyes and different ocular pathologies in a Brazilian population

description: Abstract Objective: To evaluate the choroidal thickness (CT) in healthy Brazilian subjects using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare with choroidal thickness measured in Brazilian patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and high myopia. Methods: A retrospective analysis of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images of 181 Brazilian subjects. A total of 74 eyes were included in the normal control group, 50 eyes in the nvAMD group, 44 eyes in the DME group and 13 eyes in the high myopia group. CT was measured from the posterior edge of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to the choroid/sclera junction at the fovea and at 500 μm intervals temporal and nasal to the fovea. All measurements were performed by two independent observers and were averaged for analysis. The statistical analysis and comparison were performed using Mann Whitney (unpaired t-test). Results: Seventy-four eyes from 74 patients with a mean age of 51.4 years were analyzed in the normal group with a mean nasal, subfoveal and temporal choroidal thickness measurements were 301.30 ± 12.86 μm, 311.61 ± 12.62 μm and 309.28 ± 12.28 μm respectively. All groups with disease demonstrated a statistically significant choroidal thinning when compared with matched-aged normal eyes. The mean reduction in the nvAMD group compared to normal were 60.65 μm nasally, 59.77 μm temporally and 56.59 μm at subfoveal position. In the DME group, the subfoveal reduction was 51.10 μm, 63.03 μm and 46.30 μm, nasally and temporally. The patients with high myopia presented the greatest reduction in CT compared to normal eyes, with a mean reduction of 159.9 nasal, 159.98 subfoveal and 154.65 at temporal. Conclusions: The present study evaluated choroidal thickness in Brazilian subjects, with intense miscegenation. The results demonstrated a statistically significant decrease of the choroidal thickness in all subtypes of chorioretinal disease. The small sample size in this study was a limitation. Additional research with a larger study population to better understand these findings.

title: Association between ocular abnormalities and systemic diseases in Down Syndrome patients

description: Abstract Objectives: Describe ocular findings and its correlation with systemic diseases in Down Syndrome (DS) pediatric patients. Methods: Quantitative and cross-sectional study of prevalence with children aged from 0 to 25 years. Standard ophthalmic examinations performed: visual acuity, slit lamp biomicroscopy, ocular motility, static refraction and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Ocular findings were associated with comorbidities available in pediatric records of patients in FURB Down Syndrome Outpatient clinic, in which they have regular follow-up. Results: A total of 76 patients were evaluated (33 males and 43 females). Of these, 72 patients (94.73%) had ocular abnormalities. Refractive errors were the most prevalent (94.73%), followed by alterations in indirect ophthalmoscopy (40.8%), biomicroscopy (15.8%), ocular motility (15.8%) and epiphora (9.2%). From the refractive changes 13.15% had myopia; 76.31% had hypermetropia and 47.36% had astigmatism. Sytemic abnormalities were observed in 73 children. The most prevalent was thyroid diseases presented in 65.79%, followed by heart disease 61.84%, gastrointestinal disease (15.79%); abdominal hernias (14.4%); respiratory changes (14.4%); genitourinary alterations (10.53%); musculoskeletal alterations (10.53%) and epilepsy (3.95%). There was statically significant association between the presence of myopia and hypothyroidism (p = 0.01); astigmatism and heart diseases (p = 0.003); and astigmatism and genitourinary alterations (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of ophthalmologic abnormalities in this study of children with Down Syndrome. Associations between myopia and hypothyroidism, astigmatism and heart diseases, and astigmatism and genitourinary disorders were found. More studies and increase of the sample are necessary to confirm the associations of ophthalmologic abnormalities with most common systemic diseases in this population.

title: Total upper eyelid reconstruction in the treatment of sebaceous gland carcinoma

description: Abstract Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) is the third most frequent malignant neoplasm in the eyelids. It usually affects elderly women and can simulate blepharitis or chalazion. Upper eyelid reconstruction is always challenging. The purpose of this is to report an unusual case of SGC in the upper eyelid of a young and male patient. Total resection of the right upper eyelid was performed and histological examination revealed free margins. The reconstruction was done with two surgical procedures at different times. Due to the fact that SGC presents a high potential for metastasis, the patient continues to be followed for functional and aesthetic reevaluation.

title: Endothelial density analysis by age group of corneal donors in an eye bank in Paraná State, Brazil

description: Abstract Objective: To analyze the endothelial density of corneas donated for transplant in different age groups. Methods: The study evaluated 244 corneas from 122 male and female donors in Cascavel Eye Bank -PR from the analysis of medical records containing specular microscopy of the donors. Results: Most corneal donors were male (67.2%). The average donors age was 53.8 years, ranging from 5 to 70 years. The age group of 61 -70 years with the largest number of donations, corresponding to almost 41% and the average endothelial density was 2645 cells / mm² (ranging from 1897 to 4201 cells / mm²). In the first decade of life, mean endothelial density was 2923 cells mm²; in the second decade 2757 cells / mm²; in the third 2846 cells / mm²; in the fourth 2627 cells / mm²; in the fifth decade, 2830 cells / mm²; on the sixth 2605 cells / mm² and on the seventh decade of life 2570 cells / mm². Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the mean endothelial density of corneas donated for transplant of the first decade of life (2923 cells / mm²) when compared to the seventh decade alone (2570 cells / mm²) was reduced. In the evaluation from the second to the sixth decade, there was no pattern, sometimes there was an increase, sometimes a decrease in the average endothelial density.
