[Bacterial corneal ulcer treated with intrastromal antibiotic. Experimental model in vivo].

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effectiveness of a single intrastromal dose of gentamycin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin for the treatment of corneal ulcers due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Methods: Twelve white female New Zealand rabbits underwent mechanical removal of corneal epithelium; then one drop of salt suspension containing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (75,000,000 colony forming units) was instilled over the Bowman's layer. Rabbits were distributed in five groups according to the type of antibiotic used: group A: gentamycin, group B: tobramycin, group C: ciprofloxacin, group D: ofloxacin and control groups.

[Phacoemulsification cataract surgery in vitrectomized eyes].

Objective: This study focuses on determining the intra- and post-operative complications stemming from technical difficulties, anatomical aspects, intraoperatory management and visual outcome of post-vitrectomized patients that undergo phacoemulsification.

Method: In this prospective, longitudinal, observational and descriptive study phacoemulsification was performed in 25 post-vitrectomized eyes that required cataract surgery. Pre-surgical variables: sex, age, affected eye, visual accuity, underlying vitreoretinal disease, anterior segment morphological findings such as: cataract density and pupil alterations.
