A long-term follow-up study of laser coagulation of neovascular membranes in angioid streaks.

We treated 30 eyes (24 patients) with angioid streaks and neovascular membranes using light coagulation. Of 30 eyes, 16 showed either ameliorated or unchanged visual acuity. Twelve of the remaining 14 eyes retained a visual acuity of 20/200 or better. In 11 patients, the fellow untreated eye showed central macular degeneration with loss of central vision. The follow-up period ranged from two months to 16 years (mean, 3.4 years).

Retinal abnormalities in Alport's syndrome.

The ophthalmological findings in 13 patients with Alport's syndrome are reported. Special attention was given to the retina and retinal functions. Flecked retinopathy was present in 12 out of the 13 cases. Two cases showed tortuosity of the retinal vessels. Retinal function tests showed no significant abnormalities. This study suggests that in Alport's syndrome, retinal lesions are more common than has been reported until now.

Pseudophakic glaucoma.

Pseudophakia by itself does not cause ocular hypertension. Pseudophakic glaucoma should be defined as glaucoma that would not be present in an eye if it were not pseudophakic. Ocular hypertension was noted in 15 (9%) of 166 pseudophakic eyes. Only 5 eyes (3%) had ocular hypertension requiring treatment. Three of these eyes (1.8%) had permanent ocular hypertension resulting in chronic pseudophakic glaucoma. This study shows that pseudophakic glaucoma is no more frequent than aphakic glaucoma. Secondary glaucoma in pseudophakic eyes is not always related to the presence of the lens. Pupillary block glaucoma and UGH syndrome are directly related to the lens. Secondary glaucoma by ghost cells and by pigment-dispersion are also in some cases directly related to the lens.

A clinical review of Stargardt's disease and/or fundus flavimaculatus with follow-up.

Out of 49 patients diagnosed as having Stargardt's disease that have been clinically reviewed, 22 of these cases have been followed for a period up to 13 years. The cases have been studied in three subgroups, according to their fundus appearance. Patients from group I were those whose lesions were confined to the macula, showing no flecks in the retina. In group II the macular lesion was surrounded by perimacular flecks and in group III fundus flavimaculatus flecks were seen, diffusely scattered in the posterior pole. It appears that the prognosis of group I is better than the other groups, where surrounding flecks are seen in addition to the macular lesion. The follow-up indicates that the disease evolves with a rather large spectrum of expressivity. Assessment of a predictive factor for the evolution of the disease is not yet possible. However, the observation of a dark choroid appears to be strongly suggestive for a further centrifugal progression of the disease.
