A miniature Wright peak-flow meter.

A new miniature Wright peak-flow meter has been designed and produced. The meter is tubular with a spring-loaded piston and a longitudinal slot through which air escapes. Its dynamic characteristics have been carefully designed to make it respond only to peak flow and not to rate of rise. Performance tests on early instruments showed fairly close correlation with the Wright peak-flow meter but with a constant error of + 38 1/min. On later models the correlation was increased to 0.990 and the error reduced to + 3%. The mini-meter correlates as well with the standard instrument as two standard instruments correlate with each other and should prove useful clinically.

Variable focus spectacles.

The history of prostheses for presbyopia is reviewed with an account of the development of variable focus spectacles. They have fluid-filled cells, with one flexible wall on the back of the base lens. The curvature of the flexible wall can be varied by operating a bellows in one side-arm. Their use for presbyopia, aphakia, and glaucoma is considered. The spectacles are believed to have reached a stage where they are ready for commercial production.
