Abstract

A new, compact optical instrument developed in clinical work is presented and its optical properties are discussed: it allows simultaneous viewing of a patient's fundus and its fluorescein angiography. Both stereo and mono angiography can be superimposed in the slit lamp in a 1-to-1 juxtaposition of fundus topography and angiogram. In this way very precise transfer of angiographical data is possible. Safety during laser coagulation is increased, and the size of iatrogenic scotomas is thus reduced. The instrument is described, and image superimposition illustrated with clinical examples.

Long-term results of adjustable suture surgery for strabismus secondary to thyroid ophthalmopathy.

PURPOSE: To review the results of adjustable suture surgery in patients with strabismus secondary to thyroid ophthalmopathy to determine long-term outcome and to identify postoperative complications. METHODS: The records of 1524 patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy were retrospectively reviewed to identify those who required treatment for strabismus in the ocular motility clinic. Treatment consisted of adjustable suture surgery, prisms, or both. Elimination of diplopia in primary and reading positions was used at the criterion for success. RESULTS: Forty-seven patients were treated with adjustable suture surgery, with an average follow-up of 41 months. Results after 1 or more surgeries were: 47% excellent, 26% good, 19% fair, and 9% poor. Significant postoperative complications included eyelid retraction and A-pattern exodeviation. Sixteen of 18 patients with fair or poor outcomes after the initial surgery were recognized within 6 months. Postoperative changes in vertical deviation from primary position to downgaze were predictive of postoperative diplopia in downgaze. Analysis of multiple preoperative characteristics showed no statistically significant associations with outcome. Eight additional patients had adequate relief of diplopia using prisms alone, with an average follow-up of 49 months. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term symptomatic relief of diplopia was obtained in the majority of patients using adjustable suture strabismus surgery, combined occasionally with small amounts of prism postoperatively. Prisms alone provided effective long-term relief in patients with small-to-moderate deviations.

[Importance of standardized photos for planimetry].

In a series of 30 patients we compared the optic disc measurements. Disc photographs were either taken centric or excentric. Pictures with excentric discs showed significantly smaller measurements. However, the C/D-ratio demonstrated a good correlation (r = 0.95). For follow-up studies even not standardized photos can be useful, especially if the same examinator makes all the measurements.

[Sources of error in planimetry of the optic nerve].

No matter how "sophisticated" they may seem to have become, contemporary methods for bioplanimetry of the optic disc vary in precision; easily overlooked or neglected optical influences must, indeed, be taken into consideration; and, of greatest detriment to the meaningfulness of any and all such results is the fact that even "experts" have difficulty in uniformly and reproducibly indicating where the boundaries of the optic disc and its excavation actually lie.
