[The artificial lens: the folly of yesterday, the standard of today].

Traditional cataract operation (dislocation of the crystalline lens into the vitreous body by external pressure or by needling) is nearly as old as mankind. The idea of implanting an artificial lenticulus is not new but this was only performed for the first time in 1949. In the last 50 years, a better knowledge of corneal and retinal physiology, as well as the improvements of intraocular lens material and design, have led to very safe routine surgery.

[Peri-ocular anesthesia by unique caruncular injection in surgery of the anterior segment].

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of medial canthus local anesthesia in anterior segment surgery. METHODS: From December 1st 1996 to October 24th 1997, 234 patients underwent anterior segment surgery under caruncular single injection anesthesia: cataract, phacotrabeculectomy, corneal graft and triple procedure. RESULTS: The technique achieved good globe anesthesia and lid and orbital muscle akinesia. Neither globe perforation nor lid ecchymoses were observed. CONCLUSION: Caruncular single injection appears to be a good alternative to classical peribulbar block.

[Spiral implants in phacoemulsification and in secondary implants].

The spiral I.O.L. with a rectangular optic (6 mm x 4.8 mm) is particularly convenient for small incision surgery. A series of rhexis and a series of envelope technique were compared: centering was definitely better after rhexis. In secondary implantation after ICCE the spiral implant could be secured to the posterior face of the iris.

[Implantation, explantation and keratoplasty].

The author analyses a series of 161 keratoplasties, 65 of which related with implantation, explantation or IOL exchange. The advantages of PC IOL in this kind of surgery are pointed out.

Retinal rivalry in functional amblyopia.

Thirteen patients with varying degrees of amblyopia were examined for perception of retinal rivalry with the use of the phase difference haploscope. Visual acuity was varied in the fixing eye by the addition of plus lenses, equalizing ocular dominance. Retinal rivalry could be detected over wide ranges of visual acuity disparity by amblyopic patients with visual acuity better than 20/50. Rivalry could not be detected, however, by patients with less than 20/50 visual acuity in their amblyopic eye.
