Abstract AS AN ocular surgeon and teacher for more than twenty years, one naturally forms certain judgments as to surgical methods and procedures. These are offered herewith in the hope that they may be of benefit to others. Although it is realized that many may be an old story, others may be of interest. ANESTHESIA No excuse exists for poor anesthesia. A fearful and uncooperative patient makes for a poor surgical performance.Preoperative sedation is indicated for all patients. Morphine should not be given before intraocular operations, since it may lead to vomiting. However, its use is quite satisfactory for extraocular surgical procedures.Cocaine hydrochloride is probably the best of the local anesthetics for instillation. The lids should be kept closed, since cocaine disturbs the corneal epithelium to a less extent under this condition. Also, cocaine should not be instilled for more than ten or twelve minutes ; longer periods tend to References 1.

Abstract A CASE is reported in which a malignant melanoma of the limbus and a cyst on the posterior surface of the iris occurred in the same sector of the eye. REPORT OF A CASE A woman aged 33 had always had defective vision in both eyes, and her eyes had been examined annually. The routine test in 1944 had shown no alteration from the previous year, but in 1945 her optician noticed for the first time a dark spot at 9 o'clock on the limbus of the right eye ; a month later this was found to have increased rapidly in size. No history could be obtained of injury, inflammation or a mole prior to her last refraction. Examination. —Right Eye: With a correction of +3.75 D. cyl., axis 180 vision was 6/9. A sausage-shaped, slightly elevated melanotic tumor overlay and was concentric with the limbus from 8 to 11 o'clock. References 1.

Abstract AMBLYOPIA following acute loss of blood is an old, but relatively rare, disease. An average of 1 case a year has been reported in the world's literature in the past twenty-five years. Colonel Derrick Vail saw only 4 cases of such visual loss in his vast experience in military ophthalmology in Europe in World War II. That the pathogenesis of atrophy of the optic nerve following hemorrhage is imperfectly understood is evidenced by the numerous and varied theories (recently summarized by Cox1) that have been put forth to explain the condition. Knowledge of its pathogenesis is limited because few such blind eyes have ever been examined microscopically. The few histologic studies made have revealed edema of the retinas and optic disks with degenerative changes in the retinal ganglion cells, similar to those associated with quinine poisoning. In addition, Goerlitz2 observed foci of degeneration in the optic nerve behind References 1. Cox, R. A.: Amblyopia Resulting from Hemorrhage , Arch. Ophth. 32: 368-371 ( (Nov.) ) 1944.Crossref 2.

Abstract EXPOSURE of the eye to relatively small quantities of liquid or vapor lewisite (betachlorovinyldichloroarsine) produces a devastating ocular lesion. As will be demonstrated later, the progressive nature of such a burn is caused by the arsenical component of this war gas. To decontaminate the tissues of arsenic after exposure to lewisite, English workers synthesized 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (CH2SH:CHSH:CH2OH), now called dimercaprol ("BAL"). The work pursued in the laboratories of the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute was devoted to the determination of the optimum conditions for the use of this antidote, its mode of action and its limitations. These experiments will be discussed under the following headings : (1) the distinctive clinical and pathologic characteristics of lewisite burns of the eye with respect to mode of action, rate of penetration and the time at which irreversible histologic changes first develop; (2) the rate of penetration and persistence of arsenic in the tissues References 1.

Abstract IN CONSIDERING a group of diseases in which certain lesions in the eyes may develop, it is necessary to refer to features and conditions peculiar to these diseases which may influence to some extent the signs and symptoms that are likely to occur. The blood dyscrasias include a very large group of disorders, with a variety of etiologic factors and with certain clinical manifestations. Moreover, there appears to exist a close relationship among many of these diseases, with only certain differences in their causation, which may determine the character of the blood picture, the clinical manifestations and the changes which may occur in the eyes. This is especially true of that part of the group designated as "the anemias." For the purpose of simplicity, the more important diseases of the blood are here grouped according to the changes which occur in the individual constituents of the blood. EXCESS OF RED References 1.

Abstract SPOROTRICHOSIS is a widespread but relatively uncommon disease. . . . The condition is not figured by Smith in his Atlas of Skin Diseases in the Tropics, nor does Loewenthal mention it in his account of the diseases of the Skin in negroes.1 Most of the reported cases have come from France and the United States. Isolated cases have been reported in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, England, Scotland, China, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Madagascar, where it is rather common, and South America. Three large series of cases have been described among South African miners.2 Du Toit2b stated that only 206 cases had been reported in the American literature up to January 1940. Link in 1809, cited by Moore and Kile,3 described the genus Sporotrichum chiefly as a saprophyte on wood. Sporotrichum badium was the first species described and illustrated. The first pathogenic species was probably that described by Montagne, in References 1. Dangerfield, L. H., and Gear, G.: Sporotrichosis Among Miners on the Witwatersrand Gold Mines , South African M.

Abstract THIS IS a preliminary report on a new type of implant based on one year's use. This implant has a positive mechanical contact between the implant and the prosthesis, which provides a wide range and spontaneity of movement. The implant, in addition, eliminates sagging of the lower lid and minimizes sinking in of the upper lid. Previously described implants, with the exception of the combined implant and prosthesis recently described by Ruedemann,1 have been totally enclosed within Tenon's capsule and the conjunctiva or, in the case of evisceration, within the sclera and conjunctiva. In these circumstances, the available conjunctiva left to permit the prosthesis to rotate in the fornices has been diminished from that in the natural eye by the area occupied by the cornea. In the implant to be described, the anterior face is exposed, and thus the fornices have not been diminished. The exposed face, with an References 1. Ruedemann, A.

Abstract SEVERAL years ago I called attention to a simple method of maintaining postoperative closure of the eyelids after akinesis of the orbicularis oculi muscle had been employed, which consisted in sealing the lashes of the upper lid to the lower lid by means of a small droplet of collodion.1 The method has worked satisfactorily over a period of years and is used routinely in my practice in all cases in which akinesis of the lids has been used. The possibility of an accident such as the patient's opening the eyelids beneath the dressing, with possible contact with the cornea, is prevented. With the collodion seal, the lids are maintained in approximation during the period that akinesis is in effect. The advantage over suture of the lids is evident. No additional wound is created ; and the greater ease of use and the ease of removal, with absence of pain, will References 1. Gill, W.

Abstract IN TWO previous communications1 it was shown how the location and displacement of the cardinal points of the eye can be visualized and remembered by the use of the benzene ring. It was shown that when the eye accommodates the new position of the cardinal points can be represented by a long, slender ring situated inside the regular ring. When the crystalline lens is removed from the eye, the optical system of the eye is radically altered. Its refractive power has been decreased by about one fourth, and there has also been a shifting of the cardinal points. It can be shown similarly that the location and displacement of the cardinal points in the aphakic eye can be represented by a broad and flattened ring drawn from the regular ring representing the normal static eye. In the accompanying figure, the principal and nodal points of the aphakic eye are References 1. Pascal, J. I.: Cardinal Points in the Static and in the Dynamic Eye , Arch.
