Astigmatism↗
The relation of astigmatism and hyperopia (more effective plus).
Two-hundred and ninety eight high astigmatic refractive errors are reviewed in order to establish the clinical and theoretical relationship of high astigmatism to hyperopia. All methods of analysis demonstrated that high astigmatism and greater plus power are related.

Steep corneal curvature: a fetal alcohol syndrome landmark.
Keratometry was performed on 30 fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol effect (FAE) children. Horizontal keratometric measurements that are 46.00 diopters or greater appear to be an objective landmark of FAS. Keratometry is recommended as a routine test in evaluating suspected FAS children and appears to have value in screening the general school population for FAS.

High corneal astigmatism in the adult Navajo population.
Corneal astigmatism was measured in 176 unselected Navajo patients over the age of 45 years old. The result was a 4% incidence of with-the-rule astigmatism of two diopters or more in at least one eye. Conjectures on a reason for the small incidence of high corneal astigmatism in the adult Navajo population as compared to the large incidence that occurs in Navajo children is discussed.

Corneal curvature in the fetal alcohol syndrome: preliminary report.
In a preliminary report of the ocular characteristics of the fetal alcohol syndrome, (FAS) 17 Southwestern Indian FAS children were examined for ocular care. Of the seventeen examined, 12 could be measured with keratometry. 100% had corneal curvature of 45.75 and greater with an average horizontal curvature of 47.55 diopters and an average vertical curvature of 49.35 diopters. Steep corneal curvature was found to be a consistent and major characteristic of these FAS children.

High corneal astigmatism in Navajo school children and its effect on classroom performance.
809 unselected Navajo school children from kindergarten to sixth grade received visual acuities and keratometry readings. The information obtained was directed at statistical analysis of the degree of corneal curvature of two diopters or more and the distribution of its ranges, grade distribution, sex distribution, unilateral percentage and eye dominancy, uncorrected visual acuities of the high uncorrected astigmat, the mean corneal astigmatism, and the relationship between uncorrected high astigmatism and classroom performance.

Steroids' effects on the infectious corneal ulcer.
Since the introduction of corticosteroids into the ophthalmic field, the side effects of steroids in inducing cataracts and glaucoma have been well discussed. This drug family has also changed the etiology and invasiveness of corneal ulcers and has been responsible for many cases of corneal complications. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the clinical manifestations of infectious corneal ulcers and the effects that steroids have on their etiology, course and prognosis.
