Abstract
Lacrimal surgery has been characterised by multiple rapid changes within the last 20 years. The understanding of the development and existence of lacrimal stenoses has changed considerably. New morphological (endoscopy of the lacrimal system) and anatomic-functional aspects have been added. In the f...

Abstract
IOP rise following retrobulbar injection of 3 ml of local anesthetic varies from 11.8-80%. Digital ocular massage lowers the IOP to pre-injection level in 60.2% in 3 minutes; in 5 minutes it lowers the IOP to preinjection level in all eyes and to below pre-injection level 86%....

Abstract
The majority of the ophthalmic surgical procedures are performed under local anesthesia as it provides excellent operating conditions for the surgery. The local anesthetic techniques are easy to perform and have high success rate, but carry inherent risk of life threatening and vision threatening co...

Abstract
In this series, excising the stretched scar and advancing the medial rectus muscle alone left the majority of patients with a residual small angle exotropia. Routine recession of the antagonist may therefore also be required, and further studies adopting this approach are called for.
