Dog bite-induced canalicular lacerations: a review of 17 cases.

Canalicular lacerations are frequently found in conjunction with other facial lacerations occurring in dog bite injuries. A review of the treatment of 17 dog bite-induced canalicular lacerations is presented. Certain pathogens commonly found in the canine oral flora may cause severe secondary infections, which may result in sepsis and even death. These pathogens are reviewed along with a description of appropriate plans for antimicrobial prophylaxis. A surgical approach to such injuries is described.

AIDS and the contact lens practice.

The probability of the ophthalmologist and office personnel coming into direct contact with a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is extremely high. HIV has been recovered from the ocular tissues, tears, and soft contact lenses of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. All ophthalmic offices, especially those with a contact lens practice, must be aware of any potential risk of transmission of HIV to both the office staff and to other patients from HIV-infected patients through the use of trial contact lenses. To date, there has been no documented case of HIV transmission through human tears or contact lenses, and the risk of such a transmission is extremely low.

Bilateral lymphocytic infiltrates causing dacryostenosis after bilateral successful dacryocystorhinostomies.

A 73-year-old woman with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia had bilateral dacryocystorhinostomies for bilateral chronic dacryocystitis. The procedures were performed 7 months apart. Twenty-four months after the first dacryocystorhinostomy on the left side, the patient developed a mass in the area of the left lacrimal sac causing epiphora. A repeat dacryocystorhinostomy revealed a lymphocytic infiltrate causing the left dacryostenosis. Thirty-three months after the right dacryocystorhinostomy, the patient developed a right dacryostenosis with epiphora and no mass. Pathology specimens obtained during a repeat dacryocystorhinostomy on the right side revealed a similar lymphocytic infiltrate. This case is an unusual presentation of solid lymphoma in a traumatized area in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Orbital hemorrhage with proptosis following a dacryocystorhinostomy.

A 65-year-old patient with chronic leukemia underwent an uncomplicated dacryocystorhinostomy. On the first postoperative day, the eye was proptotic and chemotic with restricted movements. A CT scan revealed a medial juxtabulbar hemorrhage that blocked the surgical osteotomy. A clot was locally suctioned through the nose, and the symptoms resolved over the following weeks.

Anatomic and histopathologic findings following a failed ahmed glaucoma valve device.

Ahmed glaucoma valve implant (AGV) is one of the more commonly used implants in difficult glaucomas. The histology of a functioning bleb following AGV implantation and its anatomic relationship to the optic nerve when placed in the superionasal quadrant has been described. We report the histology of a failed bleb and the anatomic relationship between the optic nerve and the AGV end-plate when placed 9 mm from the limbus in a patient with neovascular glaucoma.

The effects of ophthalmic solutions on the transmission of light through hydrogel lenses.

We incubated ten different hydrogel lens materials in nine different artificial tear preparations and in cromolyn sodium (Opticrom) 4% at 35 degrees C for a period of 6 months. The subsequent ability of these hydrogel materials to transmit visible light was analyzed spectrophotometrically as a measure of each solution's compatibility with the different hydrogel materials. Ultra Tears solution was found to be significantly incompatible with four of the hydrogel materials: tetrafilcon A, deltafilcon A, phemfilcon A, and polymacon. Seven other solution/hydrogel combinations had relatively high absorbance readings that were not statistically significant. These combinations should probably be avoided. Cromolyn sodium 4% was found to be compatible with all hydrogel lens materials tested, as were the majority of artificial tear solution/hydrogel combinations. We believe that the use of the compatible solution/hydrogel combinations should produce no alteration in the ability of the hydrogel lens to transmit visible light (400-700 nm).
