[Current limitations of radial keratotomy].

The so-called R.K. classic technique gives good results for myopias under 5 diopters. We have performed different modifications of the technique for the 8 incisions--optical zone 3 mm R.K. 8 incisions--O.Z. 3 mm. Downhill incision direction or "American technique" incisions (from the O.Z. towards the limbus). 8 incisions--O.Z. 3 mm + a deepening of 20 microns from a 6 mm O.Z. Repeat operations (Stan Franks Backcutting technique or addition of incisions). 8 incisions--O.Z. 3 mm. Uphill incision direction or "Russian technique" (from the limbus towards the optical zone). This study was carried out with 134 R.K. and shows that we get best results for myopias between 5 to 7 diopters, with the last technique (Uphill incision direction).

[Oculomotor paralysis of endocrine origin. The value of x-ray scanning].

The X-ray scanning symptoms of dysthyroidal ophtalmopathy are so typical that they are enough to make the diagnosis in most of cases. Their determination through the FEMEN system increases the sensitivity of the method. The investigation of 60 cases of oculomotor palsies with a FEMEN score greater than 10 confirms that they are certainly or probably subsequent to an endocrinopathy in 93% ot the cases.
