[Results of surgical treatment in intermittent divergent squint with deliberate overcorrection (author's transl)].

A review is given of 28 cases (39 surgical procedures) with intermittent exotropia. Prior to surgery a prismatic correction was prescribed and gradually increased to stabilize the objective angle. The amount of surgery was calculated to give a slight overcorrection (approximately 5 degrees). Follow up over a 6 months period revealed better results if overcorrection was achieved. Consecutive esotropia occured if the surgery did not make proper allowances for distance/near ratios of the objective angle. Secondary surgery was delayed up to 6 months. Spectacle occlusion followed by base-out prisms were prescribed in any case of overcorrection until bifoveal fixation could be maintained.

[Aqueous dynamics and ciliary epithelium enzyme systems (author's transl)].

Aqueous humour is produced by ultrafiltration (30%) and active ion transport (70%) predominantly achieved by nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells. They need chemical energy supplied by intracellular metabolisms. Suspensions of isolated ciliary epithelial cells and ciliary cell layers prepared from single rabbit eyes have been assayed for activities of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, NAD- and NADP-depending isocitrate dehydrogenase. Levels of enzyme activity were found to be higher in the nonpigmented cell type. Enzyme activity of cell layers exceeded those of isolated cells for technical reasons. By comparing ciliary epithelial enzyme patterns to those of different tissues it may be deduced that ciliary epithelium draws its energy chiefly from pentosephosphate and citric cycle. High levels of lactate dehydrogenase activity suggest special functions of this in enzyme in aqueous formation.

New onset of crossed eyes in an adult.

A 77-year-old woman presents with a seven-year history of an isolated slowly progressive esotropia with bilateral abduction defects. The only potential cause discovered was dolichoectasia of the intracavernous carotid arteries.
