[Myopexia posterior with tissue adhesive (author's transl)].

Myopexia posterior with tissue adhesive has many advantages over the classic procedure employed in the Cüppers "Fadenoperation". The technique presents few complications, is simple, time-saving and causes no trauma. After experiments on animals, we have now successfully employed this technique on human ocular muscles.

[Occlusion contact lenses (author's transl)].

A reliable inconspicuous occlusion therapy is achieved by fitting different, specially manufactured contact lenses. Based on a study of a number of cases, the author discusses the indications for a occlusion contact lens. These lenses provide a means for treating amblyopia in schoolchildren and adults, as well as for eliminating diplopia, photophobia and metamorphopsia.

[Unilateral myopia in children (author's transl)].

In cases of high unilateral myopia good prognosis for monocular visual acuity as well as binocular vision is expected if timely and cosistent therapy is administered. Therapy comprises full optical correction, amblyopia therapy, mostly occlusion, squint therapy and possibly fitting of contact lenses. The author presents 31 cases of unilateral high myopic children up to age 12 with anisometropia between 4 and 19 dioptres. Although the aniseikonia in cases of high unilateral myopia increases with contact lenses as compared to spectacles for geometric optical reasons, we obtained good results with contact lens correction. Examination show that the child's brain adapts very well to the aniseikonia. Complicate correction with aniseikonic lenses is thus neither necessary nor advantageous.

Smoking artifacts: factors of source evaluation.

Responses from 323 students in communication indicated that credibility factors associated with nonverbal smoking artifacts are not the same as those associated with verbal stimuli; a character factor was absent for nonverbal stimuli. Verbosity, however, may permit inferences regarding potential verbal behavior.

[Synthetic, absorbable suture in eye-muscle surgery (author's transl)].

A synthetic, absorbable suture (Vicryl), was investigated for its usability in eye-muscle surgery. In experimental investigations on animals and strabismus surgery in humans, properties of the suture were compared with those of plain catgut. Histological investigations after modified strabismus surgery on rabbits clearly showed a smaller degree of tissue reaction around the hydrolytically dissolvable synthetic suture than around plain catgut. After implantation of Vicryl or catgut into the anterior chamber of rabbit eyes, within the first eight days both cause infective reactions which were somewhat stronger with Vicryl, which caused more scarring over the iris, than with catgut. One-hundred and eighty strabismus operations on man showed that the synthetic suture handles better and rips less markedly than plain catgut, whereas duration and amount of postoperative irritations are similar. Overreactions and granuloma were rare.

[Unilateral aphakia in childhood (author's transl)].

The monocular and binocular vision will always be disturbed after unilateral cataract extraction in childhood. The treatment therefore not only means operation, but also correction of the optic error, pleoptics and orthoptics. In 40 cases of unilateral aphakia (12 congenital, 28 traumatical) the prognosis depends on the age of the individual and maintenance of treatment. The older the child and the sooner therapy is started the better are the functional results.
