Report about a new surgical technique that permits an intraocular lens to be implanted in filtering procedures. The technique, with and without iridotomy, and the lens implantation technique are described; the new Kelman II lens is used, and thanks to this rate of complications is minimal. The results of more than 50 lens implantations performed by this method are discussed.
A clinical study with Bupranolol (Ophtorenin), a beta adrenergic blocking agent, is presented. 85 eyes with kinds species of glaucoma were treated during 22 months. A satisfying hypotensive effect was attained in a high percentage. Suitable combinations with Clonidine and Acetazolamide were tested. Based on its atoxic properties and lack of adverse reactions Bupranolol represents a valuable enlargement of glaucoma therapy.
This report presents a 3-year study of treatment of the anterior portion of the eye with the Glaucom Research Laser, Model 152, made by Britt Corp. Los Angeles. This study deals specifically with laser trabeculotomy and iridectomy. In this period of time 176 eyes were treated with trabeculotomy and 60 with iridectomy. All types of glaucoma were represented. The technique and the results are demonstrated. This pulsed Argon laser permits surgery with a high rate of success without any serious complications.
This new pulsed argon laser has only been in use for a comparatively short time. Thbrefor, this information can only be valued as a preliminary study. But due to its high efficiency and its good steering possibilities, it offers new vistas and aspects in the application of laser.
The possibilities for treatment of the anterior segment of the eye with the new glaucoma research laser, model 152, constructed by Britt-Corp. are reported on, along with the possibilities of vasodesolation, pupilplastics, iridontomies and iridectomies. Especially mentioned is the technic and possibility of laser-trabeculopuncture. This laser archieves remarkable success also in open-angle glaucoma and closed-angle glaucoma provided the technic is suitable. It is shown that all operations can be carried out by an ambulant patients and practicly without any complications. There are no problems during the aftertreatment for the doctor or for the patient.
A report is given on an advanced color video cartridge system and its application within various disciplines of ophthalmology.
