Mixed arteriovenous occlusive disease of the fundus.
Sudden loss of vision occurred in two young healthy patients who had the clinical findings of partial retinal artery and partial retinal vein occlusion. This might represent a severe variant of papillophlebitis.

The use of topical Healon tears in the management of refractory dry-eye syndrome.
We evaluated 28 patients with dry-eye syndrome in the setting of either primary or secondary Sjogren's syndrome, with topical Healon tears. In 26 of the 28 patients, we noted both subjective and objective improvement characterized by decreased itching, burning and foreign body sensation, decreased mucus stranding and Rose-Bengal staining of the cornea and conjunctiva, and increased corneal luster and tear break-up time.

Syphilitic retinal detachment and uveal effusion.
A 32-year-old man developed a recurrent nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment, uveal effusion, and visual loss as a result of latent secondary syphilis. Treponemes were found in the subretinal fluid and the Treponema pallidum hemagglutination test demonstrated substantially higher titers in the subretinal fluid than in the serum (1: 2,569 vs 1: 16). Despite scleral dissection and a scleral implant and treatment with penicillin, the patient's visual loss persisted and the last examination showed a thickened choroid, a flat nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and reaccumulation of subretinal fluid.

Pingueculae and pterygia.
Pingueculae and pterygia are benign peribulbar lesions composed of degenerated basophilic subepithelial tissue. Pingueculae do not affect vision, and minor irritation can usually be managed with artificial tears. Pterygia may affect the visual axis and require surgical and adjunctive treatment. The various therapeutic strategies are reviewed. A conservative approach is advocated, as surgical removal of primary pterygia may result in recurrent ptergyia that are more difficult to manage than the primary lesions.
