[Preliminary results of primary implantation of flexible intraocular lenses in infants under 1 year of age].

The paper presents the results of surgical treatment in 12 (12 eyes) infants aged 3 to 11 months who had different forms of unilateral congenital cataract. The surgical techniques involved the following stages: formation of a sclerocorneal tunnel cut, 3.5 mm in width, anterior continuous circular capsulotomy (anterior capsular rhexis), aspiration-irrigation techniques for removal lens masses, implantation of a flexible intraocular lens (IOL) into the capsular sac, graded opening of the posterior capsule with anterior vitrectomy in some infants.

[Pavlyuk--antioxidant "Gistochrom" in the complex treatment of intraocular hemorrhages in children].

We studied the efficiency of Russian antioxidant Gistochrom in the treatment of intraocular hemorrhages of different genesis in children. Gistochrom was used in 407 children (449 eyes), aged 1 month to 14 years, with traumatic hyphema, hemophthalmos, hemorrhages in the eye bottom, hemorrhagic retinovasculitis, recurrent hephema, diabetic retinopathy, hemorrhages after reconstruction of the anterior chamber with cataract extraction, neuritis, retinopathy of prematures as well as with uveitis with a pronounced exudative component, with signs of retinal edema and of reactive pappilitis. Gistochrom has an intense action on blood resorption in structures of the eye ball as observed in traumas and lesions of internal eye tunics with hemorrhages.
