The Late Results of Removal of Intraocular Foreign Bodies with the Magnet.

Local Ischemia and Increased Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Following Ocular Dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The pathogenesis of intraocular tuberculosis remains poorly understood partly due to the lack of adequate animal models that accurately simulate human disease. Using a recently developed model of ocular tuberculosis following aerosol infection of guinea pigs with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we studied the microbiological, histological, and clinical features of intraocular tuberculosis infection...

A soft contact lens search coil for measuring eye movements.

A five turn coil of magnet wire sandwiched between two soft contact lenses served as a magnetic search coil to measure horizontal and vertical eye movements in humans. The lens was adhered to the eye for 35 min by periodically misting the eye with distilled water; during this time the records of eye position showed that the lens remained firmly attached to the eye. Using this sensor, no topical...
