Brief hospital admissions for pediatric strabismus surgery.

We performed strabismus surgery on 170 children on an outpatient basis. Endotracheal intubation was utilized in all cases as the means of delivery of the anesthetic agent. Atropine used alone as a preoperative medication reduced the incidence of postoperative vomiting. Parental acceptance of this method of surgery was best when the child was discharged from the hospital awake and alert in the shortest possible time.

Bulbar ligneous conjunctivitis after pterygium removal in an elderly man.

Ligneous conjunctivitis occurred unilaterally in a 74-year-old man after pterygium excision and only involved the bulbar conjunctiva. Histochemical studies confirmed the presence of mucopolysaccharides in the lesion sensitive to hyaluronidase. The patient was treated successfully with topical hyaluronidase and alpha-chymotrypsin, with no recurrence 20 months after cessation of therapy.
