Guidelines for health education in maternal and child health.

Guidelines are presented for specifying objectives, identifying resources, selecting methods and evaluating the health education component for maternal and child health programmes. Examples of the application of the principles are integrated with the Guidelines. Diagnostic, planning, organizational, administrative and evaluative procedures are presented around a model of health education which emphasizes: a) the careful delineation of the health problem; b) the specification of behaviours influencing the health problem; c) setting priorities among target behaviours on the basis of their relative epidemiological importance and their changeability; and d) the identification of factors that predispose, enable and reinforce the behaviour.

Phototherapeutic keratectomy for Reis-Bückler's dystrophy.

Reis-Bückler's dystrophy has been a difficult management problem with generally poor long-term results from the conventional treatment techniques of penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty. Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is now the standard method of managing this anterior corneal disease when intervention is required. We have treated nine eyes with Reis-Bückler's dystrophy, including two in whom previous penetrating keratoplasty had been performed. All of our patients achieved substantial visual improvement from an average visual acuity of 6/60 to 6/9, and all had complete cessation of recurrent erosions.
