Three wall orbital decompression for Graves' ophthalmopathy via a coronal approach.
Ten patients with dysthyroid eye disease who underwent a three wall orbital decompression procedure performed via a coronal approach were reviewed. The indications, results, complications and surgical techniques involved in this surgery are discussed. We believe that this approach offers a number of advantages over other techniques and has a role in the management of carefully selected patients with dysthyroid eye disease who have severe unilateral or bilateral proptosis, with or without dysthyroid optic neuropathy.

General practitioner referrals to an eye hospital: a standard referral form.
To assess general practitioner (GP) referrals to an eye hospital, 500 consecutive referral letters were analysed for content, diagnosis, ocular examination, and medical and drug history. Inadequate information was provided. Visual acuity was measured by general practitioners in only 3.7% of referrals. The standard of ocular examination compared unfavourably with that of ophthalmic opticians. A standard ophthalmic referral form is proposed, and referral protocols are desirable. Undergraduate education in ophthalmology is inadequate and requires more curricular time.
