[From Beer's knife to the tunnel incision].

The authors present an account on the development of surgical techniques used in operations of cataract. Surgery of cataract was started on April 8, 1745 when the Frenchman Jaques Daviel made the first extraction of an opaque lens by limbal incision. This new method was enforced, however, very slowly and only after 100 years it finally celebrated victory over the hitherto widely used reclination. In the fifties of the present century a great advance in the surgery of cataract was the introduction of cryoextraction; at the First Ophthalmological Clinic a double-jacket instrument was designed which was filled with crushed CO2. The first cryoextraction was made at the authors' department on October 7, 1964, it was the very first operation of this type in Czechoslovakia.

[The clinical picture of Fuch's heterochromic cyclitis].

The authors are presenting their experience with the diagnosis and treatment of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. They followed-up 13 patients with this disease for 0.5-3 years. Most often the patients were sent to the clinic with the diagnosis of recurrent anterior uveitis not responding to the treatment with corticosteroids and mydriatics. Patients underwent numerous investigations including neurological, internal and rheumatological examinations. Antibodies against EBV, HSV and CMV were detected. The examination of humoral immunity and HLA was done. The authors describe the ophthalmological findings, the course of the disease and the treatment. They did not find any correlation in the laboratory investigations and the course of the disease, the diagnosis is based on the clinical picture. They point out the advantage of the small incision in the extracapsular extraction of cataract in these patients.

[Diagnostic problems in uveitis].

The authors examined and followed up for two years 102 subjects who were referred to the First Ophthalmological Clinic of the First Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague on account of idiopathic uveitis. They used a wide range of examination methods by means of which they were able to differentiate idiopathic uveitis from anterior uveitis with the presence of HLA B27, Fuchs disease and Eales disease. A quarter of the patients suffered from general disease, internal or neurological, where uveitis can be one of the symptoms. This disease was not diagnosed at the time of exacerbation of uveitis. The authors describe a series of examination methods and their contribution to the assessment of the correct diagnosis. They discuss the development of views regarding the diagnosis of idiopathic uveitis and views on the treatment of this disease.

[Biocompatibility of retropupillary intraocular lenses].

The authors give an account on the incidence of two types of reactions in the early postoperative period (within two weeks) after implantation of retropupilar intraocular lenses. In a group of 320 patients they observed them in 51 (16%) incl. 17 diabetics. In the group of diabetic patients the incidence of reactions was twice as frequent. A typical fibrin reaction starting on the third day after operation was recorded in 18 patients (5%), in the remaining 33 patients (11%) there was increased opalescence of the aqueous humour, and exudation of cels and cellular structures to the lens surface was associated with the surgical trauma, in particular in beginner implantologists. The two mentioned types of reactions do not have a substantial influence on the final functional effect.
