Visual function improvement in patients with macroprolactinomas treated with bromocriptine.

We studied eight patients who had visual field defects secondary to prolactin-secreting macroadenomas and who had improved visual function with bromocriptine treatment without surgery or radiation. We recommend bromocriptine as a primary treatment for prolactin-secreting macroadenomas. If therapy is effective, continued regular neuro-ophthalmologic, endocrine, and imaging studies are necessary, because treatment with bromocriptine must be continued indefinitely.

Ocular massage before cataract surgery.

We used the Honan intraocular pressure reducer, a balloon that applies a constant force, to the eyes in ten subjects with senile cataracts. An initially significant decrease in intraocular pressure after removal disappeared exponentially with a half-time of 9.6 minutes, indicating that the benefits derived from the Honan balloon do not result from a sustained reduction in intraocular pressure. Measurements made on a phantom eye showed both marked variability and unexpectedly high intraocular pressure during typical preoperative digital massage by a group of ophthalmic surgeons. Measurements made on a cadaver eye after application of the Honan balloon showed that very high intraocular pressures may be achieved under some conditions.
