AbstractPurpose: Choroidal osteoma is a rare tumor which features intraocular bone formation. This tumor can be complicated by choroidal neovascularization which is a cause of impaired vision in this condition. We present a case of choroidal osteoma with
c.....
AbstractObjective: During mass screening for glaucoma using frequency doubling technology (FDT) perimetry, the case showing that reliability coefficients such as ‘false positive’ (FP) or ‘fixation errors’ (FE) (or both) in the FDT test are low is fre.....
AbstractContext: Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been classified by the World Health Organization as a country where Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) exists.
