Aniseikonia in patients with a unilateral artificial lens, measured with Aulhorn's phase difference haploscope.

Aniseikonia was measured in unilaterally pseudophakic patients using Aulhorn's phase difference haploscope. Mean values of aniseikonia were 1.5% horizontally and 2.0% vertically without correction, and 2.1% horizontally and 2.3% vertically with correction. With spectacle correction, the greater the dioptric difference between two eyes, the greater the amount of aniseikonia. In either case, patients tolerated these amounts of aniseikonia according to our criteria of aniseikonia tolerance.

Dental care for severely handicapped children.

Dental care for the physically and mentally handicapped ought to be a normal part of the responsibilities of the pedodontist. In the case of severe handicap, however, it may be difficult to achieve an acceptable standard of care under general practice conditions. An account is given of the regimen followed in the Tokyo Metropolitan Rehabilitation Institute for the Severely Handicapped where a team approach to dental care has been in existence for the past 10 years. Data are presented which demonstrate the incidence of dental disease in various categories of handicap and examples are given of the improvement in the quality of life of the institutionalized handicapped as a result of regular, high quality dental care.

Observations in patients with occlusion amblyopia: results of treatment.

Further observation was made of 100 cases of occlusion amblyopia (form vision deprivation amblyopia) in order to study the symptomatology and the results of treatment by intensive occlusion of the sound eye. The occlusion was classified into three categories: (1) Short-term total occlusion after entropion or other minor lid surgery, (2) Long-term total occlusion lasting more than 2 weeks as a consequence of unilateral congenital or traumatic cataract, (3) Long-term incomplete occlusion as in the case of a small punctate posterior pole cataract or a linear scar of the corneal endothelium. Ocular deviations, fixation pattern, and retinal correspondence were examined. The visual evoked response (VER) was studied with reference to the recovery of visual acuity after treatment. Th occurrence of amblyopia and the recovery of visual acuity were analysed in relation to the age at the time of occlusion and the age at the time of treatment in order to clarify the critical or sensitive period in the development of visual system in humans.
