Orbital fibrous histiocytoma in an infant.
A case of fibrous histiocytoma of the orbit occurred in a 1-year-old infant. The tumor was excised, and no recurrence has been evident.

The effect of corneal section on early increased intraocular pressue after cataract extraction.
Increased intraocular pressure in the immediate postoperative period commonly occurs after cataract extraction. We compared a series of patients operated on through a limbal section to a series operated on through a corneal section. The incidence of increased IOP was significantly lower in the corneal section group. This supports the theory that trabecular damage is a major factor in causing early increased IOP after cataract extraction.

Two special indications for intraocular lens implantation.
Two cases with special indications for intraocular lens implants are presented. The first case was of a 60-year-old monocular patient with congenital absence of the external nose and multiple limb deformities. The second case was of a young Bedouin girl with bilateral developmental cataracts who had poor living conditions and social objections to wearing spectacles. Intraocular lenses restored good vision.

Solar retinopathy: visual prognosis in 20 cases.
A report of 20 cases of solar retinopathy associated with watching an eclipse of the sun is presented. Visual prognosis was generally good and most patients had good vision at the end of six months. Paramacular scotomata, image distortion and macular changes were, however, still present in the majority of patients. Transmission of energy through various protective devices was measured with a fluxmeter. The finding of retinal damage after exposure of even short duration through protective devices that reduce the incident irradiance of the sun up to 5,000 times indicates that the damage observed may be other than thermal in nature. It is concluded that no safe method for directly viewing a solar eclipse is generally available, and that the public, especially schoolchildren and their children, should be better acquainted with this hazard.

New Tyndall photometer.
An instrument is described that can accurately measure delicate changes in the Tyndall phenomenon in the anterior chamber of the eye. An important feature is its use of an external light source and its simple adaptation to the slit lamp.

The effect of acetazolamide on early increased intraocular pressure after cataract extraction.
Increased intraocular pressure in the immediate postoperative period commonly occurs after cataract extraction. We administered acetazolamide (Diamox) to 24 of 49 eyes with increased IOP in 49 patients. All pressures returned to normal within six to eight days. No difference was found between treated and untreated eyes.

Subconjunctival dislocation of intraocular lens implant.
Eight weeks after intracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a Binkhorst iris-clip lens joined with a suture to a peripheral iridectomy at the 12 o'clock position, a 52-year-old woman struck the right side of her head. The corneoscleral wound ruptured for three fourths of its length and the artificial lens was located in the subconjunctiva in the superior-nasal quadrant of the eye. The lens was removed, the iris reposited, and the anterior chamber reformed, and the wound resutured. Her vision was 6/12 (20/40) at the time of discharge.

Bilateral cataract: extraction in classic haemophilia with retrobulbar anaesthesia and peripheral iridectomy.
A 47-year-old factor VIII deficient haemophiliac successfully underwent bilateral cataract extraction. The use of cryoprecipitates to achieve haemostasis permitted retrobulbar anaesthesia and a peripheral iridectomy without complication. We consider that the use of cryoprecipitated factor VIII concentrate allows safe elective ocular surgery in patients with classic haemophilia.

Colchicine suppression of corneal healing after strabismus surgery.
Two patients who had previously undergone uneventful operations for strabismus showed healing of corneal dellen and erosion after withdrawal of colchicine therapy. It is suggested that the exhibition of colchicine therapy for familial Mediterranean fever in these two cases was responsible for initial persistence of these two postoperative complications.

Echothiophate iodide for flat anterior chamber following cataract extraction.
Three cases are presented of late flat anterior chambers which were cured by echothiophate iodide treatment. Two of the cases required repeated instillations to achieve permanent restoration of normal chamber depth. We now recommend that echothiophate treatment be considered in cases of late flat anterior chamber unresponsive to standard medical treatment.

Iris plane pseudophakoi (Copeland lens): prevention of synechiae formation.
The iris plan Copeland lens was inserted in 56 cases. A high incidence of synechiae and retrolental membrane formation was noted. This could be prevented or reduced in severity by the controlled use of pupil dilatation in the postoperative period.

Silicone oil for complicated retinal detachment in the pediatric population.
We presented our results with silicone oil in vitreoretinal surgery in pediatric patients. The retinas reattached in 58% but corneal opacification occurred in 75% and glaucoma in 25%. Our results indicate that silicone oil should be considered in otherwise hopeless cases of retinal detachment surgery in children.

Congenital mobile vitreous cyst.
A case of a mobile vitreous cyst occurring in an asymptomatic five-year-old child is presented. A review of the literature shows this to be an uncommon finding best explained as a remnant of the primary vitreous. We believe our patient in this case to be the youngest reported, and supports the congenital, nonpathologic nature of the cyst.

Ketamine anesthesia in strabismus surgery.
Because of the conflicting opinions in the ophthalmic literature concerning the efficacy of Ketamine anesthesia in strabismus surgery, we decided to report out experience in 44 children operated upon between the ages of six months and six years. Satisfactory anesthesia was achieved in all cases except two who required intubation and inhalation technique in order to complete the surgery. No serious side effects were observed during or after the surgery. Its ease of administration, freedom from side effects, and satisfactory anesthesia, make Ketamine our primary anesthetic choice for strabismus surgery in children.

Bilateral Duane's syndrome associated with crocodile tears.
The rare association of two syndromes of paradoxical innervation, bilateral Duane's retraction syndrome and congenital crocodile tears is presented. This association assumes a central localization to explain both anomalies.
