[Primary open angle glaucoma evolution after surgery].

The authors present a four year (01.02.1998-01.02.2002) clinical retrospective trial, including 209 eyes operated for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). 52 eyes (24.8%) out of 209 eyes the progression of the disease was discovered observing the increase of the intraocular pressure (IOP), failure in achieving "IOP target" due to the insufficient filtration, the obstruction of the filtration and the deterioration of the papiloperimetrics parameters. The therapeutic approach consisted of additional medication, filtration revision, subsequent surgical treatment physical end/or classic. The authors suggest a sequence for the operated cases of POAG, but that continued to progress, postoperative IOP "seemingly normal" requiring the follow-up for t e disease, in spite of using entire methods of the treatment.

[Randomized field study of the etiology of strabismus concomitans].

After an introduction to the problems of binocular vision and an overview of the literature, the authors report on the reasons for undertaking this study and on its practical implications. Up to now, no other randomized study has been undertaken to our knowledge on children of this age group in such a large city as Vienna. All children in primary 3 classes in 20 out of the 256 elementary schools were examined ophthalmologically and orthoptically. It was found that hereditary factors are of statistically significant importance. Especially important for the ophthalmologist is also the statistically significant relation between the diagnosis poor range of fusion, poor fixation, incorrect Worth test for distance and/or proximity, and poor or lacking stereoscopic vision with the occurrence of strabism. The authors were astonished to find a remarkably high percentage of exophoria (58%), in contrast to esophoria (16%). It is interesting for prophylaxis and therapy that children originating from families where spectacles are worn, acted more cooperatively and tended to take the orders of the physician more seriously than those coming from families without eye problems. The promotion of genetic research related to squint and more counselling for couples wishing to have children or confronted with risk factor problems would be desirable, as well as the inclusion of more obligatory ophthalmological examinations in the mother-child medical "passport".

What will the scope of optometric practice be in the year 2000?

For the past 100 years, the scope of optometric practice has been constantly expanding. As the body of knowledge about visual function has increased, new treatment options have been developed. Optometry must accept the professional responsibility for treatment of all conditions of the eye and visual system. By the year 2000, optometry must be prepared with expanded curricula and accountable for the treatment of all visual conditions in order to maintain its place as a primary provider within the health care system.
