To avoid the risk of scleral erosion which may follow Arruga's cerclage for retinal detachment, a modified procedure is presented, in which four pieces of a silicone drain, threaded on the encircling suture, are used to protect the sclera against undue pressure of the suture. Observation of distant operative results indicates that this modification makes it possible to leave the suture in its site for a long, if not indefinite, time.
In this paper a microsurgical technique for cataract operation is discussed which displaces the whole healing process of the operation wound from the sensitive region of the limbus corneae to the easily and quickly healing connective tissue of the sclera. The modified procedure for microsurgical closure of the wound is also treated in detail, which depends on the fact scleral flaps are apposed to an appropriate fixation band formed from the scleral tissue.
As a method of treating iridocyclitis, cryotherapy, combined with the universally accepted systemic and topical treatment, is becoming important since it is able to alleviate the symptoms and to speed up the healing of the inflammatory condition of the iris and ciliary body.
