[Indications and results of Sonocare (ultrasound) in the treatment of ocular hypertension. A preliminary study of 395 cases].

The Sonocare system CST 100 provides high-intensity focused ultrasound to lower the intraocular pressure by three different mechanisms: partial destruction of the ciliary epithelium, scleral thinning allowing transcleral outflow of aqueous humor, and mainly the ciliary body separation from the sclera. Initially it was used to treat blind eyes with painful elevated intraocular pressure; now the indications are gradually extended to eyes with good vision. This technique takes place between laser trabeculoplasty and filtering surgery. The first 395 cases which were treated with ultrasound these two last years in the Quinze-Vingts Hospital, are displayed in this report.

[In vitro study of the effects of neodymium-YAG laser on silicone oil].

Composition of gas generated by the utilisation of Nd-Yag laser in eyes filled with silicone oil were studied by means of an in vitro optical breakdown in silicone oil. The newly formed gas were analysed by headspace gas chromatography on two separate columns. The secondary gas were mainly methane and ethylene which might be potentially harmful to the ocular tissues.
