In this issue we are presenting problems associated with diseases of the eye. All of presented papers covers important and the most frequent issues in a daily medical practice. Four articles of this issue refer to glaucoma whose prevention and pharmacotherapy continue to cause many difficulties in clinical practice. Due to the diversity of presenting topics, I think every reader will find a topic which will be interesting.

The opening original paper is comparative analysis of clinical and anatomical outcomes in treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with intravitreal injections of two anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs: bevacizumab and ranibizumab. The authors own clinical experience shows similar effectiveness of both drugs in stabilizing visual acuity and elimination of retinal fluid in patients with exudative AMD.

In the next original paper the authors present an updated report of ophthalmology’s financing in Poland, both in outpatient care and hospitals, in years 2013-2015.

Following papers are constituted by review articles. The opening paper refers to primary angle-closure and primary angle-closure glaucoma. The authors, in an accessible way discuss mechanisms, diagnostic and treatment of primary angle-closure.
