[Factors provoking the development of rubeosis iridis after vitrectomy in diabetics (author's transl)].

A retrospective study on 184 eyes of 167 diabetics which had been submitted to a vitrectomy because of various affections of the vitreous body and retina shows, that aphakic eyes, cases suffering from repeated bleeding into the vitreous cavity, and eyes with advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy are mostly preposed to the development of rubeosis iridis. Coincidence of two of these factors was found in more than two thirds of the eyes with post-operative rubeosis iridis. The stage of the diabetic retinopathy was preoperatively determined by means of ultrasonography.

[Cataract surgery following goniotrephination].

A report on our experience with cataract surgery on 20 patients who had undergone goniotrephination (after Fronimopoulos) one to three years (average 2.3 years) previously. In ten cases microsurgical preparation of the conjunctival and scleral flap revealed that the cleft was completely open; in four cases it was partially closed and in six cases totally occluded. In 16 cases, postoperative intraocular pressure was well regulated without additional medication. In two cases mitotic therapy was required for only six to eight weeks postoperatively to achieve normotonic values. In two further cases this regimen had to be followed indefinitely to achieve lasting pressure regulation.

[Indications for cataract surgery in diabetics].

Twenty-five patients suffering from incipient cataract and diabetic retinopathy were submitted to cataract extraction. The intention was not only to improve visual acuity but also to permit better follow-up by fluorescein angiography and useful treatment by xenon light or laser coagulation. Postoperative complications were no more common than in nondiabetic patients, and a comparison with nine cases who refused surgery showed that the diabetic retinopathy was managed better in the aphakic eyes in respect of visual acuity and diabetic fundus changes.

[Indications for laser coagulation in cases of branch vein occlusion (author's transl)].

Thirty-two patients suffering from branch vein occlusion were divided into three groups according to their fluorescein-angiographic lesions. In cases of venous stasis retinopathy with an intact perifoveal capillary arcade, spontaneous resolution may be expected. In eyes affected by hemorrhagic retinopathy the prognosis after laser coagulation was better than for untreated eyes.

[Healing of lamellar corneal grafts in rabbit eyes after gluing with highly concentrated fibrinogen].

24 rabbit eyes were submitted to lamellar corneal keratoplasty, the grafts being fixed by highly concentrated fibrinogen. Adhesion of the graft seemed satisfactory after 5 min, and the postoperative oedema cleared within 2 weeks. However, biomicroscopy and histology revealed a limited axial cicatrization while in the majority of cases marginal wound adaptation was insufficient. In 5 of 8 eyes followed up more than one week clear grafts were obtained, surrounded by a low marginal step.
