Identification of anterior uveal tumor border by transscleral transillumination and an ophthalmic endoscope.

Purpose: To report a method for identifying the borders of anterior uveal tumors in deeply pigmented eyes.

Method: The borders of the anterior uveal tumors were marked by transscleral transillumination with a fiberoptic light and observed from the vitreous cavity using an ophthalmic endoscope.

[Usefulness of the prick test for anaphylactoid reaction in intravenous fluorescein administration].

We examined whether a prick test was a valuable method in comparison with an intradermal skin test for predicting an anaphylactoid reaction to intravenous injection of fluorescein solution. Fifteen hundred cases were tested. The number (rate) of positive reactions to the prick test with 10% and 1.
