Purpose: To characterize the epidemiological and clinical profile of fungal keratitis (FK) and analyze the success rates of its treatment modalities during the decade 2009-2018 at the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology of Trujillo, Peru. Materials and Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study of data extracted from medical records of patients with FK. Variables such as demographic, clinical, microbiological, risk factors, treatment modalities, and complications were studied. Annual and overall success rates of medical treatment (MT) and first and second-line surgical treatment (ST) were calculated. Results: 345 patients were studied, with a mean age of 44.4 +/- 16.6 years, of whom 75.4% were males. 90.4% reported one or more risk factors, with ocular trauma being the most frequent (81.2%). Ulcers were predominantly central (61.5%). Culture positivity was 35.8%, with filamentous fungi...

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de una emulsión lubricante en la sintomatología, inestabilidad de la película lagrimal (PL) y daño a la superficie ocular de pacientes con ojo seco asociado alsíndrome visual informático (SVI). Materiales y métodos: Estudio de serie de casos, que analizón el efecto de una emulsión lubricante en pacientes con ojo seco asociado al SVI. Los síntomas se evaluaron a través del cuestionario Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), la inestabilidad de la PL a través del tiempo de ruptura de película lagrimal con fluoresceína (TRPL-F), y el daño a la superficie ocular a través del test de Oxford. Las mediciones fueron realizadas antes y después de 30 días de tratamiento. Resultados: Se evaluaron a 96 pacientes, edad de25,9 ± 7,2 (18 – 44) años, 62,9% mujeres. El TRPL-F se incrementó en 4,3 + 2,6 s (p<0,001), post-tratamiento. Este incremento fue ...

Objective: To determine the factors related to the anatomical and functional success of surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRA) in patients of the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology "Javier Servat Univazo".  Materials and methods: retrospective observational cohort study of 204 patients with RRD submitted to different surgical techniques between January 2010-December 2019, with at least 6 months of follow-up.  The variables studied were: anatomical success (primary retinal reapplication) and functional success (improvement in visual acuity [VA]); looking for an association between these variables and demographics, clinics and waiting times. Results: The mean age was 50 + 16.5 (9-85) years. Anatomical success was achieved in 165 (80.9%) patients and functional in 110 (52.9%). There was a shorter surgical waiting time in patients who achieved anatomical success (20.0...
