Angle-fixated anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens for myopia of -7 to -19 diopters.

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of a second generation, anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (Baikoff Model ZB5M) in patients with high myopia.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-one patients (134 eyes) with myopia of -7.00 to -18.

[Renewed peripheral sub-retinal vascularization and its pathological consequences (author's transl)].

The existence of renewed peripheral sub-retinal vascularization has been known for some time, but it has not attracted the attention that it merits. It possesses similar features to that of renewed sub-retinal vascularization of the posterior pole, and the consequences of this condition are well known. Two clinical cases are reported in which clinical and angiographic investigations demonstrated this type of alteration.

[Basal uveo-retinitis (peripheral uveitis, chronic posterior cyclitis, pars planitis, vitritis, hyalo-retinitis). and other inflammations of the peripheral retina].

The study of the histological features of the peripheral retina and the observation of this periphery in 149 cases of uveitis of various types has led us to consider these peripheral retinal inflammations as presenting clinically either as a local reaction in this area during the course of anterior and posterior uveitis, manifested by a circular inflammatory condensation of the peripheral vitreous, or as a specific affection related to the periphery. These latter assume two forms: either that of a peripheral chorio-retinitis, or that of a basal uveo-retinitis, a term proposed in place of those considered inadequate--pars planitis, peripheral uveitis, chronic posterior cyclitis. In accordance with this conception four forms of uveitis can be distinguished: anterior uveitis, posterior uveitis, peripheral chorio-retinitis and basal uveoretinitis.
