Luxation of the eyeball.

Luxation of the eyeball in two African patients is reported for its rarity. It followed minor trauma to the face and was reduced in both cases without permanent visual disability.

Torsional motions of the eyeball.

OF the many attempts which have been made in the past to record motions of the eyeball, the most successful investigations have used the corneal reflex method (Lord and Wright, 1948), photographic recording ofthe motions of a beam of light reflected from a plane mirror worked on a contact lens (Ratliff and Riggs, 1950; Ditchburn and Ginsborg, 1953), or photographic recording of the motion of th...

Management of traumatic hyphema.

Hyphema (blood in the anterior chamber) can occur after blunt or lacerating trauma, after intraocular surgery, spontaneously (e.g., in conditions such as rubeosis iridis, juvenile xanthogranuloma, iris melanoma, myotonic dystrophy, keratouveitis (e.g., herpes zoster), leukemia, hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and in association with the use of substances that alter platelet or thrombin func...

THE treatment of large tears and upper disinsertions of the retina poses serious and often insurmountable problems. Nor has any effective treatment yet been developed for retinal inversions caused by the total detachment of the upper retina, though most authors agree that detachments involving tears in the upper part of the retina are less frequently cured than inferior disinsertions and tears ...
