[Importance of laser peripheral iridoplasty in the treatment of acute closed-angle glaucoma].

The aim of this prospective study has been to evaluate effectivity of laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) as a first choice therapy for intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). The study included 12 patients with the first attack of acute glaucoma in whom IOP in spite of continuing medical therapy for 12 hours persisted at the level of 5.32 kPa (40.0 mmHg) and higher. We used Argon laser manufactured by HGM E-005. Laser parameters were: spot size 300-500 um, time 0.2-0.5 s, intensity 300-500 mW. Laser burns were placed to the whole circumference of the iridocorneal angle numbering 50-60 with the use of Goldmann contact lens. Applanation tonometry was used to measure IOP shortly before the laser therapy and 1 and 2 hours after ALPI. The mean IOP prior to treatment was 6.00 +/- 1.46 kPa (51.7 +/- 11.04 mmHg). The mean IOP 1 hour after ALPI was 2.77 +/- 0.44 kPa (20.83 +/- 3.31 mmHg) and after 2 hours 2.39 +/- 0.26 kPa (18.0 +/- 2.0 mmHg) which represents 45.8% reduction in IOP. Two hours after treatment all patients had transparent corneas. The results of this study confirm that ALPI effectively reduces IOP and enhances transparency of the cornea in acute PACG for the definitive treatment by laser iridotomy.

[The Schmid-Fraccaro syndrome].

The authors describe a female patient with bilateral colobomatous malformations of the uvea in conjunction with anorectal atresia and other symptoms suggesting Schmid-Fraccaro's syndrome called also cat eye syndrome. Using fluorescent hybridization in situ, the authors identified the supernumerous bisatellite marker chromosome derived from chromosome 22 which made it possible to confirm the suspected diagnosis.

[Functional and morphologic changes in the posterior ocular field in relation to primary open-angle glaucoma. II. Relation of perimetry findings and the c/d ratio].

Non-selected group of 53 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, divided into the 4 groups according to the degree of optic disc atrophy with c/d ratio: I. 0.3-0.45, II. 0.46-0.6, III. 0.61-0.8, and IV. > than 0.81 statistically compared with perimetric results divided also into the 4 groups of relevance: I. negative or relative scotoma, II. spotted or arcuate and also absolute defects without the connection with blind spot, III. arcuate also absolute defects connected with blind spot, IV. larger than upward defects. Mutual relation of these groups evaluated by Friedman's correlative coefficient of nonparametric data (= 0,3317) and graphically by Chi quadrat test. Discussed problem of early changes of visual field and c/d ratio at glaucoma and the use of correlation between the functional changes and structural characteristics of optic disc.

[Planimetric characteristics of the optic papilla in relation to age].

Percentage relation of the neuroretinal rim area to the total optic disc area was examined planimetrically in relation to the age of 116 probands having no optic disease and divided into the age decades from 3 to 7. In 3rd decade percentage of the neuroretinal rim area was on average 90.26% (min. 81.2; max. 93.6 standard deviation 3,225). In 4th decade average area was 89.92% (min. 83.7; max. 96.5 standard deviation 3,494). In 5th decade average area of the neuroretinal rim area was 88.583% (min. 78.6; max. 95.5 standard deviation 4,496). In 7th decade average are was 82.448% (min. 73.8; max. 93.5 standard deviation 4,758). Significance of the value differences found by means of t-Student non-pair test: significant differences were found between the parametres in 3rd and 6th decades (p is less than 0.01); between 3rd and 7th decades (p is less than 0.001); between 4th and 6th decades (p is less than 0.01); between 4th and 7th decades (p is less than 0.001); between 5th and 7th age decades (p is less than 0.001) and between 6th and 7th age decades (p is less than 0.01). No significant differences were found between the parametres of the age decades 3 and 5, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 6 and 7.

[Doppler ultrasonographic velocimetry of the central retinal artery and central retinal vein].

A blood flow rate in the arteria and vena centralis retinae was measured by Doppler-ultrasonographic method in a group of 36 patients of an average age of 59.35 years. The patients did not suffer any cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, diabetes mellitus-factors which influence the blood viscosity. In the arteria centralis retinae, there was measured a maximum systolic rate of 10.25 +/- 2.66 cm/s and a end diastolic rate of 5.24 +/- 1.27 cm/s. In the vena centralis retinae, there was measured an average maximum flow rate of 5.89 +/- 1.72 cm/s and end diastolic rate of 4.1 +/- 1.28 cm/s (minimum 2.12; maximum 6.2 cm/s). A procedure of examination and terms of its optimalisation are described there.

[Experience with implantation of posterior chamber lenses at the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Martin Medical School Hospital].

The authors refer to their experience with implantation of 23 IOL following the extraction of cataract, using the Baikoff's method (envelope technique). The ratio men:women in the treated group of patient was 13:10. In 19 patients the resultant vision acuity achieved the value of 6/18, or even better. Postoperative complications were represented by a temporary increase of intraocular pressure (occurred in 3 patients), fibrin reaction (occurred in 5 patients), deformation of the pupil (occurred in 3 patients) and vitreous body hemorrhage (occurred in 1 patient). The observation period lasted 3-6 months. The reason of deteriorated vision acuity which occurred in 4 cases was the presence of glaucoma chronicum simplex and degeneratio maculae luteae. (Tab. 3, Ref. 5.)

[Automated perimetry].

The principal expressions used within automated perimetry investigation, as well as differential light sensitivity, light sensitivity threshold, investigation strategy and raster are described. The work contains depictions of result investigative possibilities as follows: graphical, numeric, cumulative defect curve which enables automated perimetry only.
