Ophthalmic examinations were performed for determining the suitability of seven different types of non-ophthalmic ultrasound equipments for ophthalmological purposes. According to the results, the instruments with probes of 5 MHz or higher frequency are appropriate for certain screening ophthalmological purposes in hospitals where ophthalmic ultrasound instrument is still missing. The possible indications are: approximate estimation of axial eye length for intraocular lens calculation, and visualization of gross intraocular and orbital diseases, such as retinal detachment, tumours, foreign bodies etc. In case of pathological result or in case of axial eye length different from the average value, the high resolution ophthalmological ultrasound examination is mandatory. The modern colour-coded Doppler ultrasound equipments were found suitable for the examination of the circulation of the eye and orbit.
A newly excavated Roman report, written in ink on wood, on the strength of the First Cohort of Tungrians at Vindolanda in northern Britain, registers 31 men unfit, 15 as sick, 6 as wounded, the remainder, 10, with eye-disease, 'lippientes'. The paper also comments on the prevalence of eye-disease in antiquity and some of the suggested causes thereof.
Byzantine historians and chroniclers recorded events not only of national importance, but also of daily life. The authors present various aspects in relation to ophthalmology. A selection of subjects including eye disorders and injuries, as well as visual problems discussed in myths, narratives and religious dogmas are presented.
