Argon laser photocoagulation is a promising alternative in the treatment of vascular lesions of the lid and periocular tissues. Experimental argon laser treatment of feline ocular and oral mucosa was undertaken to identify a protective shield that was satisfactory in preventing ocular damage and to identify a power that would be effective but avoid significant side effects.
We have developed an automatic filter for the indirect ophthalmoscope that protects the physician's eye from potential damage during laser treatment. The laser light is applied through an endolaser probe using indirect ophthalmoscopy.

Measurements of spectral translucent coefficients of four types of protective spectacles with clean and tinted glasses were done using the C phi-46 spectrophotometer. Translucent coefficients were calculated according to a special programme in relation to the visibility factor curve. Vision acuity evaluation for the analysed spectacles is given. It was found that the change of vision acuity in relationship to the glass tinting degree does not directly depend on their translucent coefficient change.

Seven different types of protective sports eyewear were tested to determine whether peripheral awareness as measured with a visual performance task were affected. Goldmann perimetry and the Wayne Saccadic Fixator with Stik-Up attachments were utilized in a repeated measures research design. The sports glasses did restrict visual field, but no one pair of glasses were least restrictive. The restrictions did not translate into significant differences on the performance task. Peripheral visual factors should be taken into account when prescribing protective sports eyewear. The importance of proper eye protection in sports is also discussed.

We evaluated an eye-nose goggle to determine its usefulness in reducing nosocomial RSV infection in patients and staff members on our infant ward. During a community outbreak of RSV in 1984, infection was assessed by biweekly routine viral cultures on all ward personnel and patients and also by seroconversion in personnel. For three weeks staff members wore the goggles; two (5%) adults and one (6%) child acquired nosocomial infection. During the subsequent three-week study period, goggles were not used and 34% of personnel and 43% of susceptible infants became infected. The use of the disposable eye-nose goggles was associated with a significant decrease in nosocomial RSV infections (P less than .003 for staff and P less than .05 for contact infants).
