[Must an eye after unilateral congenital cataract surgery by amblyopic?].

Based on the data from literature, opinions concerning amblyopia after unilateral, congenital cataract surgery are presented. Problems of visual deprivation syndrome and possibilities of prevention and therapy of amblyopia in unilateral aphakia are discussed. The authors concluded that even the eyes operated very early, in newborns aged a few days, remained often amblyopic.

[Amblyopia after surgery for congenital unilateral cataract].

Long-term functional results of the eyes with unilateral, congenital cataract operated in the years 1981-1983 are presented. It was found that 88% of the eyes had visual acuity below 5/50. The authors discussed these poor results and considered that they are associated with the lack of effective treatment of amblyopia. On account of this, the authors in their Ophthalmological Department operated only selected cases with unilateral cataract, mostly for cosmetic reasons.

Fluorescein angiography of the iris. A correlation of microangiopathy in the iris and retina.

Fluorescein angiography of the iris using filters that eliminated pseudofluorescence was performed. In 10 of 40 non-diabetic healthy eyes, a fine-grained leakage of dye occurred from capillaries of the pupillary margin (PML). In 87 of 94 diabetic eyes with or without retinopathy a PML was present. The vascular changes of the iris were compared with those of the retina as disclosed by fundus fluorescein angiography. In 14 of 18 eyes without retinopathy PML was observed. In 25 of 28 eyes with non-proliferative retinopathy there was a PML, 12 of those in addition showed extravasation to the iris stroma. All 48 eyes with proliferative retinopathy showed PML. In addition, 19 of these had extravasation to the iris stroma and 26 iris neovascularization. When iris neovascularization is present, larger fibrovascular proliferations are usually found in the vitreous space, often associated with recurrent vitreous haemorrhages or retinal detachment. Iris angiography yields valuable information on the vitreo-retinal diabetic sequelae and is useful for selection of such eyes for vitrectomy.
