SUB-CONJUNCTIVAL PENICILLIN AND INTRA-OCULAR INFECTION

Penicillin and the Control of Deep Intra-ocular Infection.

Sub-conjunctival dislocation of posterior chamber intra-ocular lens: five years after manual, small-incision cataract surgery.

INTRODUCTION Ocular trauma can cause serious complications in eyes operated for cataract. CASE A 70-year- old lady had sustained blunt trauma to the left lower lid which resulted in a sub-conjunctival dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL). The patient had undergone an uneventful manual, small-incision, sutureless cataract surgery with implantation of a PCIOL for senile...

Evaluation of conjunctival and nasal bacterial cultures before intra-ocular operations.

Method 65 patients awaiting cataract extraction were admitted to hospital on the day before operation. None of them had any topical or systemic treatment before or after admission. In each case, both eyes were white and quiet and the naso-lacrimal ducts were patent. At the time of admission, conjunctival swabs were taken from the lower fornix of each eye on dry, sterile cotton-wool applicators,...

miRNAs that associate with conjunctival inflammation and ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection do not predict progressive disease

We previously showed that conjunctival miR-147b and miR-1285 were upregulated in Gambian adults with inflammatory scarring trachoma, and miR-155 and miR-184 expression was strongly associated with conjunctival inflammation and ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection in children from Guinea-Bissau. We investigated whether the single or combined expression of miR-147b, miR-1285, miR-155 and miR-18...

Intra-ocular foreign body.

IN the 10 years 1946 to 1955, 816 cases of intra-ocular foreign body were admitted to Moorfields Eye Hospital, and 272 of them, which are analysed in this report, have been followed up for at least 3 years, no other method of selection being used. If the out-patient notes were not sufficiently up to date, a letter was written to the patient at his last known address asking him to re-attend for ...
