Surface reaction on a posterior chamber lens seven days after implantation.

Seven days after extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation, a posterior chamber lens was removed following the patient's sudden death. The lens was studied with the implant cytology technique, which demonstrated a continuous and optically clear separating film of proteinaceous nature. The film was fully developed and covered the entire implant.

[How blurred is vision in myopia? -- An attempt at demonstration by means of photography (author's transl)].

In a criminal case I produced photographs in court to demonstrate how blurred vision is for myopic with a refractive error of 10 diopters who does not wear glasses. It was attempted to take the different variable circumstances into consideration, especially the width of the pupil. As there are no known comparable pictures, they may be useful in teaching.

[Case reports on serous detachment of choroid and retina as complication after photocoagulation of diabetic retinopathy (author's transl)].

A case of diabetic retinopathy is reported that developed after photocoagulation a serous detachment of the retina followed by an additional detachment of the choroid. In 3 other cases there were only serous detachments of the choroid. The detachments showed spontaneous regression.

[A new oculo-dento-cutaneous syndrome (author's transl)].

A report is given about an 11-year-old girl with multiple anomalies - specially concerning the eye, followed by a comparison with other similar syndromes as presented in literature.

[The slit-lamp as operating microscope a personal device (author's transl)].

Instead of the operating doublemicroscope described by Harms the Zeiss slit-lamp was suspended on the microscope stand by means of two special couplings in form of two stairs, so that the biomicroscopy in the optic section can be performed also when operating, especially in surgery of the retina when using contact glasses. This improvisation is a cost saving alternative against the newly commercially available operating slit-lamp.
