[Implantation of anterior chamber lenses].

From January 1989 till July 1993 85 anterior chamber lenses were implanted at the 1st Department of the 1st Medical School of the Charles University in Prague. In 30 cases the anterior chamber lenses were implanted primarily and in 55 cases as a secondary procedure. In all cases flexible lens of Kelman type was used. The incidence of postoperative complications was almost the same as was described in literature. The complications were less frequent after secondary implantations. After more extent loss of vitreous during extracapsular cataract extraction it is recommended to delay the implantation of anterior chamber lens at least after half a year. Final visual acuity 6/6-6/12 was achieved in 70% primary and in 85.5% secondary implantations.

[Levobunolol HCl--a beta-blocker produced by the firm Allergan].

Vistagan is a new beta-blocker produced by Allergan that is used for treatment of glaucoma. The results of a clinical trial with 18 patients with open-angle glaucoma, previously treated with Timoptol, are presented. Vistagan was as effective as Timoptol in reducing the intraocular pressure and was better tolerated by patients.

[Glaucoma in the Czech Republic].

The authors investigated the conditions for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma in the Czech Republic using questionnaires dispatched to 88 departments. The total number of patients suffering from glaucoma is 50,000, the highest rate being in Prague and Moravia (à 9,000). In relation to the number of population the frequency is greatest in Prague (1 per 140 population) and lowest in Southern Bohemia (1 per 318). In 12 departments routine gonioscopic examinations are not made, in 30 departments applanation measurements of the intraocular pressure are not made. Statistical computed perimetry can be performed only in six departments. In 1989 about one tenth of the total number of 9,000 patients hospitalized on account of glaucoma were hospitalized on account of acute glaucoma. In that year 952 primary and 320 secondary glaucomas were operated, the greatest number in Prague and Eastern Bohemia. It is essential to improve the standard of ambulatory diagnostic and therapeutic care at the expense of hospital admissions.

[Biocompatibility of retropupillary intraocular lenses].

The authors give an account on the incidence of two types of reactions in the early postoperative period (within two weeks) after implantation of retropupilar intraocular lenses. In a group of 320 patients they observed them in 51 (16%) incl. 17 diabetics. In the group of diabetic patients the incidence of reactions was twice as frequent. A typical fibrin reaction starting on the third day after operation was recorded in 18 patients (5%), in the remaining 33 patients (11%) there was increased opalescence of the aqueous humour, and exudation of cels and cellular structures to the lens surface was associated with the surgical trauma, in particular in beginner implantologists. The two mentioned types of reactions do not have a substantial influence on the final functional effect.

[Laser microsurgery in glaucoma].

Based on ten years work, the authors summarize their experience with the use of different types of lasers and laser methods in the treatment of glaucomas. They draw attention to the limits of effectiveness of laser microsurgery, to different modifications of hitherto used methods and their combinations. The authors try to define the position of lasers in the therapy of glaucomas.

[Clinico-pathologic evaluation of one type of intraocular lens].

Four intraocular lenses of Saturn type (extrapupillar iris lens fixated in the posterior chamber) were surgically removed when bullous pseudophakic keratopathy was present, without loss of the eye-bulb, during the period of 2-6.5 years after the performed implantation. Cytologic examination of the surface of the implanted lens displayed the individual tolerance of the implant in various patients. In all cases on the surface of the lenses there was observed a reactive membrane, also in the cases of the low biological tolerance.

[Working ability of patients with various forms and stages of glaucoma].

Authors evaluated the questionnaries filled by patients with glaucoma of different type treated on the Prague Second Eye Clinic. These were completed by clinical data as state of visual functions and modes and course of the treatment. Different types of glaucoma were present: open-angle glaucoma (74), angular glaucoma (34), pigmentary glaucoma (12), exfoliative glaucoma (4), congenital glaucoma (13). Operations were performed in 26.5% of eyes, laser trabeculoplasty 18.8% and laser irodotomy 15.7%, and pharmacotherapy was applied in remaining patients. Ocular disease was the cause of the change of employment in 11.6%, the total disability pension and the partial one, were acknowledged in 3.6% and, 6.6%, resp. On contrary to the previous data, the number of patients with working disability was significantly decreased in comparison with the previous data. This fact could be explained by the use of the non-miotic antiglaucomatics, laser surgery, microsurgical operations and more precise diagnostics of the earlier stages of glaucoma.

[Laser microsurgery after ineffective anti-glaucoma surgery].

Authors suggest possibilities to use the laser microsurgery for improvement of the intraocular pressure in the eyes previously operated by means of different antiglaucomatic operations. Argon and YAG lasers were used for indicated microsurgical operations affecting the anterior chamber angle or the iris when the previous operation was not followed by adequate decrease of the intraocular pressure.

[Retropupillary intraocular correction in traumatic cataract].

In 10 eyes with traumatic cataract (in eight eyes after perforating injuries, in two after blunt trauma) in patients from 5 1/2 to 58 years of age extracapsular extraction with retropupillar lens implantation was performed. At the same time in one patient a keratoplasty, in another a iridoplasty was performed. There were no intraoperative complications, in the postoperative course a decentration of the intraocular lens was seen two times, once secondary glaucoma and once secondary cataract. Both latter complications were cured with Nd:YAG laser. In 8 patients visual acuity was good, in one reduced for chorioretinal complications of the injury, in one for unknown reasons. In 2 from the 5 operated children transient alternations of binocular vision appeared.
