The authors describe the surgical technique "myotomia laminae globalis", applied during 1990 and May 1994 in the Ophthalmological Clinic of Târgu-Mureş, on 39 patients. The method was applied as singular intervention in 4 cases for completing the intervention through muscle resection. The proposed method proved to be simple, without danger and leading to good results.
The authors focus on the evolution of visual function postoperatorial, based on 349 patients which where diagnosed and operated by congenital cataract, during 1973-1992, in Tg. Mureş Ophthalmological Clinic. All the interventions were done by discising the anterior capsula and washing the lens masses. After studying these cases, the authors conclude that visual prognosis of the operated eye depends on the presence of other congenital abnormalities, on the age of the patient and on the intervention type. In spite of all surgical progresses, congenital cataract still stands as an affection with reserved functional consequences.
The estimation of the visual abilities of monophtalmic patients must be done individually and the driving licence must be released only after careful consideration of all the anatomo-functional aspects of the eye in connection with the functional state of the nervous system. For releasing the driving licence to monophthalmic patients are proposed to be done: the determination of the kinetical visual acuity, the exam of the stereoscopic vision and the effectuation of some psychological tests by the ophthalmologist.
