摘要:

Abstract102 persons with Pseudoexfoliation without glaucoma, not attending follow‐up controls, underwent re‐examination. The time elapsed since last control was ≧ 5 years in 39%. In those with monocular Pseudoexfoliation, 30% became binocularly affected. Only 3 persons had developed glaucoma (2.9%). Probable explanations for this low figure are discussed. IOP measurements of the total group and the subgroup of persons remaining monocularly affected during the observation period, revealed similar or lowered values at re‐examination compared with the last control. A retrospective analysis of a capsular glaucoma group (208 eyes), disclosed that 84% had glaucoma at their initial visit, 38% of the remaining patients developing glaucoma during 1.

摘要:

AbstractIn 20 eyes (18 patients) with simple or capsular glaucoma in which a first full‐circumference argon laser trabeculoplasty resulted in early or late failure, laser trabeculoplasty was repeated. In 12 eyes the second trabeculoplasty was clinically successful. At an average follow‐up time of 30 months after second trabeculoplasty, the treatment was still successful in six patients. Early failure after the first treatment seems to be unfavourable for the outcome of secondary treatment. No correlation was found between the accumulated dose of laser energy delivered into the trabecular meshwork and I he degree of intraocular pressure reduction after the second trabeculoplasty in this retrospective st

摘要:

AbstractWith laser iridotomy it may often be difficult to achieve total penetration of the iris, particularly in very light or very dark irides. It may be impossible to determine with the slit‐lamp whether a small laser iridotomy is functionally penetrating. We describe a straightforward method to test iridotomies for aqueous flow patency. Transcorneally introduced fluorescein is used to delineate any aqueous bulk flow from the posterior to the anterior chambe

摘要:

AbstractNinety‐five successive argon laser trabeculoplasties to as many patients were followed 6 to 18 (mean 8) months. Forty‐eight eyes had capsular glaucoma and 35 simple glaucoma. The power used ranged from 100 mW to 1000 mW and the total energy from 1.0 J to 5.0 J. The success rates between groups were tested with a x2‐test. With laser power of more than 500 mW and energy level more than 3.0 J, the success rates were maximal (77% and

摘要:

AbstractThe indications and frequency of trabeculectomy operations in Swedish eye clinics in 1980 and 1981 were assessed. The incidence of operations are significantly higher in the north than in the south of the country. The geographical influence was eliminated by excluding the 6 northernmost clinics, but the frequency of operations still varied with a factor of nearly 5 between the clinics. Most clinics seemed to allow individual modifications and exceptions to the rules of indication for surgery. An IOP surpassing a certain limit, locally fixed but varying greatly between clinics, was an indication in most places, even if the visual field was normal. An optic disc defect alone was an indication for surgery in one clinic only. In most clinics a progression of the glaucoma visual field defect with or without disc damage was an indication of surgical intervention.

摘要:

AbstractFundus photography was performed at an interval of 1–2 weeks on two glaucoma patients with disc haemorrhages (hh). It was shown that1. Haemorrhages (hh) appear again and again at the same place over a long period, which may, if the observations are made at long intervals, give the false impression of one, very slowly resorbed h. The opinion that hh are caused by a singular vascular acute disorder is not supported.2. The blood is seen propagating peripherically along the nerve fibres. After resorption of the papillary part the h may remain only outside the disc, thus giving the impression of a completely extrapapillary h.3. The resorption of blood occurs probably more rapidly over the papillary tissue than in regions outside the dis

摘要:

AbstractFive patients with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) have been subject to a follow‐up study. All the patients had bilateral lesions. The follow‐up period ranged from 1 month to 8 years (mean 4 years). All had resumed their previous work, although two patients had severe visual loss in one eye (6/36). No recurrences were observed. Automatic perimetry of the central visual field revealed moderate central scotomata between 5 and 10 db, corresponding to derangement of the pigment epithelium. This may indicate that the pigment derangement may be caused by alterations in the pigment granules in the pigment epithelial cells, and that the pigment epithelial cells have recovered. There were absolute scotomata in two eyes corresponding to chorioretinal atro

摘要:

AbstractTwo patients (one with glaucoma with field loss, one with ocular hypertension) with previously known optic disc haemorrhage were followed with frequent disc photography, computerized perimetry and tonometry for a period of one year. Nine haemorrhages were seen in three of the four eyes studied. Three bleedings showed sudden enlargements, interpreted as re‐bleedings, during the absorption phase. Haemorrhages were not associated with any stepwise localized or general worsening of the visual field, nor did the fields deteriorate during the period of the study. No structural changes of the optic nerve head were seen after the bleedings during the observation time of one year. The duration of the haemorrhages varied, but no bleeding lasted less than one week. Before disappearing they were often so small that they could only be detected when series of photographs were examined in chronological order. Haemorrhages large enough to be discernible on isolated slides were present in 20% of the disc photographs. Thus disc haemorrhages are transient and easy to overlook. Many careful observations may be necessary before the first haemorrhage is seen. Each individual bleeding is a minor vascular incident which usually leaves no measurable functional or structural trac

摘要:

AbstractAdverse reactions to ophthalmic patients during 9909 fluorescein angiographies during 9 years were registered. Nausea (4.6%) and vomiting (1.3%) were the most common untoward reactions. Allergic skin manifestations occurred in 48 patients, and 5 patients complained of shortness of breath. 56 patients (0.6%) felt dizzy during or immediately after the investigation. Nine patients complained of chest pain, three of whom developed myocardial infarction.Sixteen patients collapsed during the procedure. One healthy male, 42‐year‐old, collapsed after the injection of fluorescein during angiography, and electrocardiogram showed an asystole of 24 seconds. Otherwise, the electrocardiograms registered on 100 consecutive patients did not reveal any systematic changes in heart rate or rhythm during fluorescein angiogra
