[Cryotherapy in vernal conjunctivitis].

Twenty five patients (mostly boys between the ages of nine and 14) suffering from vernal conjunctivitis were treated by cryotherapy. Three cryocycles, each of one to two minutes' duration, consisting in contact freezing at -160 degrees C, were performed under local anesthetic. There was very rapid regression of the acute inflammatory symptoms within a few days. At the same time, the eosinophil count in the smear preparation decreased considerably. The "cobblestones" only flattened out in the course of several weeks, following repeated sessions.

[Eye tuberculosis].

At present the eye tuberculosis still occurs only in its reactive form. But also these pathological processes may quite considerably disturb the vision. In the first place are chorioiditis (uveitis posterior), iritis and iridocyclitis (uveitis anterior), uveitis totalis and periphlebitis retinae are by far less frequent. Number and severity of the pathological processes considerably decreased during the last years, above all also the new diseases. Relapses are still increasedly observed. The problems of diagnostics and the necessary therapeutic measures are described.

[Light coagulation in central and paracentral choroiditis (author's transl)].

Since 1966 photocoagulation has been performed in 52 cases and 54 eyes of choroiditis located on the posterior pole. The course of the cases treated is compared with a control group treated with drugs. Photocoagulation shortens the duration of the acute inflammatory process, decreases the frequency of recurrences by about 40% and improves the visual prognosis. The follow-up 1 year to 9 years later (average 7 years) showed in the control group a visual function of 0.5, in the treated group of 0.8.
