Extracapsular extraction and anterior-chamber flexible lens implantation.

Extracapsular extraction with anterior-chamber lens implantation is a method which has a place in cataract surgery. We discuss 60 cases of cataract operated on by this method and its advantages. We had good results in cases without glaucoma, keratopathy, or diabetes mellitus, and depending on the ease with which a posterior capsulotomy was done, where this was imperative, without the risks of the YAG laser capsulotomy.

Changes of oscillatory potentials of the ERG in diabetic retinopathy.

Disturbances of the oscillatory potentials of the ERG are examined in diabetic patients with and without vascular lesions of the retina. More specifically, the changes of the oscillatory potentials are investigated in relation to the manifestation and evolution of diabetic retinopathy and neovascularization of the optic disk and the retina. Particular stress is laid on the direct relation between the disturbances of the oscillatory potentials and the occurrence of neovascularization, as well as on the prognostic significance of these disturbances.

A severe endophthalmitis after Lincoff-Custodis procedure.

A case of serious endophthalmitis two years after a Lincoff-Custodis procedure is presented. Even after the removal of the silastic sponge a phthisis bulbi appeared with loss of vision. Such a catastrophic complication is possible even after a period as long as two years if the appropriate therapeutic measures are not taken.

ERG and VER findings after laser photocoagulation of the retina.

The present investigation analyzes the results of the ERG and VER studies after argon-laser photocoagulation of the papillomacular region and after panretinal argon-laser photocoagulation. The author stresses the possibility of photocoagulation of the papillomacular region without risk of damaging the papillomacular fibers as well as the observation that panretinal photocoagulation performed under identical parameters does not affect electric activity (and consequently the anatomical integrity of the retina) to the same extent in different eyes. The ERG could thus be used for an objective assessment of the degree of adequacy of panretinal photocoagulation.

[Electroretinographic changes in experimental metalloses].

In this experimental study the authors studied the Eclectroretinographic alterations and the histological lesions after the introduction of foreign bodies of iron and copper into the vitreous body of eyes of rabbits. The ERG alterations depend on the kind of the intraocular foreign body and on the size and the time it remained into the eye. These alterations are characterised either by a parallel diminution of the a and b wave of the ERG, or by an increase of the a wave while the b wave becomes flat. From the histological studies it was found that the iron is deposited into the nucleus and the cytoplasm in the form of granules, while the copper causes a violent inflammatory reaction and is deposited extracellularly.

Clinical experience with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive.

In this paper 385 cases treated with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive during the years 1980-1995 are studied. The indications, outcomes and complications of cyanoacrylate adhesive are investigated and the results are analysed. It is encouraging that except for three cases of ocular hypotony and two cases of microbial infection no other complications occurred. Even in desperate cases with corneal perforation greater than 3 mm and ocular infection, enucleation was avoided. The early use of a bandage contact lens, inserted just after the glue application and the coverage with topical antibiotics switched every 15 days until the removal of the glue, may explain the small incidence of infection. Our experience from the use of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in cases with corneal perforation greater than 3 mm is very encouraging. In these cases a running 10.0 nylon suture was used to create a reticulum over the space of the corneal perforation upon which the glue was applied. The use of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive offers to the clinician a safe technique for healing corneal wounds that avoids tectonic penetrating keratoplasty with its associated complications.
