[Bilateral Terrien's degeneration treated by corneoscleral graft transplantation].

Authors operated on a patient with bilateral corneal involvement in Terrien's marginal degeneration and spontaneous corneal perforation. The surgery was performed in both eyes at the same time and a free sclerocorneal graft was used. The postoperative cosmetical and functional results as well were very good. It is advisable to follow up the patients with Terrien's marginal dystrophy. The surgery on right time removes the defect of the cornea and accompanying high corneal astigmatism.

[Intraocular pressure in phacoemulsification].

The authors investigated changes of the intraocular pressure after non-complicated phacoemulsification with implantation of an intraocular lens of different types (OMMA, silicone, Acrysof) in 40 patients. From the results it is obvious that in some patients already 4 hours after surgery the intraocular pressure rises to an average of 31 +/- 17 mm Hg. The magnitude of the intraocular pressure was not influenced by the size of the surgical wound nor the type of intraocular lens. In values below 30 mm Hg the authors recommend merely follow up of the patients as they assume that these values have a positive impact on closure of the tunnel incision. In the differential diagnosis it is important to consider the post-operative inflammatory reaction, the absorption reaction of residual viscoelastic material, pupillary block while the lenticular capsule is intact and undiagnosed glaucoma. In values above 30 mm Hg the authors recommend administration of beta-blockers, Diluran and antiphlogistics.
