[Optical correction of keratoconus by soft contact lenses].

Soft contact lenses have been used in 41 patients (71 eyes) aged 10-50 years with uni- and bilateral keratoconus. In 46 eyes (64.8 p.c.) application of soft contact lens enabled visual acuity of 5/5 to 5/25, mainly in initial or intermediate phases of keratoconus. In these cases correction with soft contact lenses gave better results than after application of ++sphero-cylindrical spectacles. In far advanced keratoconus one can observed better visual acuity after application of soft contact lenses in comparison with spectacles correction. However correction with hard contact lenses was the best one.

[Visual rehabilitation of adult patients after unilateral cataract extraction].

The influence of correcting soft contact lenses and pleoptic-orthoptic exercises on the improvement of the visual acuity and acquiring of binocular vision was analyzed in 22 patients aged 17-65 years after unilateral cataract extraction. Visual acuity of between 5/5 and 5/16 was attained in 88.6 p.c. of patients, binocular vision in 85.9 p.c. Poorer results were observed in persons with a diminished transparency of the ocular media caused by injury as well as in younger individuals after congenital cataract surgery.

[Improving the function of the visual system in children with aphakia].

Systematic reeducation by pleoptic-orthoptic exercises was performed in children with posttraumatic and congenital aphakia for the improvement of the visual acuity, normal retinal fixation and binocular vision. The treatment comprised 244 children aged 1-16 years who were formerly given a correcting contact lens on the aphakic eye. In the result of rehabilitation a visual acuity of over 5/16 was attained in 79.5 per cent of cases, a normal retinal fixation in 73.77 per cent and the binocular vision in 46.31 p.c. Better results were obtained after treatment of a posttraumatic cataract, poorer results after extraction of a congenital cataract.

[Vistagan-Liquifilm in the treatment of simple glaucoma].

Thirty patients (60 eyes) with bilateral open angle glaucoma in whom normalization of the IOP could not be obtained by a conservatory treatment with miotics are presented. In the period of 3 months they were given twice daily a 0.5% solution of Vistagan-Liquifilm, a compound blocking as well the beta 1 as the beta 2 receptors. After 2 weeks 76.7 p.c. of the treated eyes showed a normalization of the intraocular pressure and 23.3 p.c. an improvement. After 3 months the IOP was normalized in 73.3 p.c.; an improvement showed 26.7 p.c. of the eyes. The compound was well tolerated and did not cause any complications from the side of the respiratory or circulatory system.
