Germinating seed in anterior chamber. Report of an unusual case.

A seed introduced into the eye of an 8-year-old boy through a penetrating corneal wound became embedded in the iris. Many months later it germinated. The germinating seed was successfully removed from the iris and anterior chamber with retention of excellent visual acuity. The seed was identified as a dicotyledonous seedling of the family Compositae.

Studies on the tear film in climatic droplet keratopathy and pterygium.

Tear function tests were performed on 30 Australian Aborigines, and the results obtained were compared with the results obtained in 101 mildly hypertensive Europeans. Aborigines had a significant abnormality in tear break-up time, which may be related to conjunctival scarring caused by trachoma. The tests used failed to show any tear film abnormalities associated with the presence of either pterygium or climatic droplet keratopathy other than a discontinuity of the marginal tear strip, which is probably a secondary phenomenon. It seems unlikely that either pterygium or climatic droplet keratopathy is caused by a gross abnormality of the tear film.

Lid splitting and posterior lamella cryosurgery for congenital and acquired distichiasis.

Congenital distichiasis is a rare condition with an accessory row of lashes at the Meibomian gland orifices. We suggest "acquired distichiasis" as an appropriate term for the accessory row of lashes in or near the Meibomian gland orifices, occurring as a result of such conditions as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, ocular pemphigoid, or chemical and physical injuries. We report a new treatment technique in which the eyelid is divided along the gray line then followed by cryotherapy to the posterior lid lamella. This removes the distichiatic lashes without damaging the normal lashes in the anterior lid lamella and avoids depigmentation. Histologic examination demonstrates the aberrant lashes result from a metaplasia of tissues in or around the Meibomian glands. Thirteen eyelids with acquired distichiasis and four eyelids with congenital distichiasis have been followed up for eight to 48 months. All have been greatly improved.

Cryotherapy for trichiasis in trachoma.

Trichiasis secondary to trachoma was treated in 137 eyelids from 64 patients in Saudi Arabia. Cryotherapy with high-flow nitrous oxide was applied to the lid margin for 45 seconds in a freeze-thaw-freeze cycle. The success rate of treated eyelids was 56% after one treatment and increased to 90% after a second treatment. Hypopigmentation of the highly pigmented eyelids of the Saudi population was our most significant complication (8% of treated lids). Because cryotherapy is portable and cost-effective and can be administered by paramedical personnel, it is ideal for use in regions where trachoma is endemic.

Eye involvement in junctional epidermolysis bullosa.

The ocular findings in a group of five patients with the nonlethal form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa are presented. A history of recurrent corneal erosion and the presence of corneal scarring were the most common findings. We discuss the possible mechanisms of the ocular changes and describe how the recent application of monoclonal antibody probes to components of the basement membrane are helping to elucidate the basic defect in this condition.

Hereditary lymphedema and distichiasis.

Two patients with lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome illustrate that both Milroy's disease and late-onset hereditary lymphedema are sometimes associated with distichiasis. It is important for ophthalmologists to be aware of the lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome because of its ophthalmic manifestations and the associated systemic abnormalities that can be potentially life threatening.

A controlled trial of surgery for trachomatous trichiasis of the upper lid.

The effectiveness of commonly used procedures to correct trachomatous trichiasis of the upper lid was examined in a clinical trial in Oman. Lids were graded as having minor trichiasis (five or fewer lashes), major trichiasis (more than five lashes), and defective lid closure. Randomly allocated surgery specific for lid grade was completed in 384 lids, of which 369 (96%) were followed up once or twice approximately 9 and 21 months after surgery. The definition of operative success included no evidence of trichiasis and complete lid closure. Tarsal rotation was the most effective operation and was successful in 80% of cases of minor trichiasis, compared with success rates of 29% for electrolysis and 18% for cryoablation. Tarsal rotation was successful in 77% of cases of major trichiasis, compared with a 41% success rate for tarsal advance and rotation. Surgery for major trichiasis produced a significant improvement in visual acuity in operated vs nonoperated fellow eyes in a regression model incorporating the between-eyes correlation of visual acuity.

Tarsotomy for the treatment of cicatricial entropion with trichiasis.

Transverse tarsotomy and lid margin rotation is a simple procedure that is effective in repositioning the entropic lid margin without requiring external incisions or grafting. We report the results of this procedure in 81 eyelids of 58 patients with cicatricial entropion and trichiasis who were followed up for a minimum of 6 months after surgery. Fifty-nine (94%) of sixty-three eyelids with mild to moderate cicatricial entropion were cured with this procedure. Patients with severe cicatricial entropion had a lower success rate with initial tarsotomy (55%), but in these patients the procedure had minimal complications and repeating the operation resulted in a higher success rate. Tarsotomy and lid margin rotation produces excellent cosmetic and functional results when used to treat patients with mild to moderate cicatricial entropion. In cases of more severe cicatricial entropion, we still recommend it as the initial procedure after which more complex modalities may be used if needed.
