Botulinum toxin in ophthalmology.
Alan B. Scott selected, researched and developed Type A Botulinum toxin for clinical use in ophthalmology. This unique drug has proved invaluable for treatment of a number of conditions which are difficult to treat in ophthalmology and in a variety of other disciplines. The indications, methods and problems of its use are described and the results of treatment of 133 patients are discussed. Up to December 1986 over 13,000 patients have been treated in a multicentre international trial without significant complications.

Multiple operations for strabismus.
Some examples will be noted where the strabismus surgeon plans the patient to have more than one operation. Unfortunately most multistage strabismus procedures are unplanned and are a consequence of failure of the initial surgery. The three most common causes of such failure will be discussed. Brief mention will be made of the more important surgical techniques for rectus muscles that have had repeated operations.
