ABSTRACT
The authors analysed 30 eyes that "Trabeculectomy ab externo" was performed in S.N.U.H. Trabeculectomy was preferable operation in simple glaucoma and even in chronic closed angle glaucoma, but in congenital glaucoma, goniotomy was more preferable than trabeculectomy. In its mode of action, trabeculectomy was regarded as a sort of filtering precedure.

A monstrous faced, 60 years old famale patient was first seen in our clinic on May 1, 1976, complaining of diffuse abdominal pain. Throughout physical examination and x-ray study revealed a craniofacial dysostosis, which is rare in this age group, and other lab. data seemed normal.

Distribution of the antigens of soluble lens protein in the bovine ocular tissues was studied by Ouchterlony's double agar diffusion technique. Guinea pig anti-bovine-lens-serum was prepared by 4 weekly injections of the soluble protein of the bovine lens with complete Freund adjuvant. Three precipitation lines were observed between lens antigen and antiserum after 36 hours diffusion, and two precipitation lines on iris antigen and two precipitation lines on antigen mixture of the pigment epithelium and the choroid were observed after 36 hours diffusion. No precipitation line was observed on cornea antigen, vitreous antigen and retina antigen.

The authors preEented the 6th human thelaziasis case in Korea with the review of the literatures. The patient was 18 years old high-school girl who had lived in Seoul since birth. She experienced epiphora and moving foreign body Eensation of the right eye since one week prior to examination, and extracted 2 living worms from the right eye by herEelf on 1 and 2 days prior to examination. Morphological features of an extracted worm are as follows; Gross appearance of the worm is slender milky, white nematode, and microscopic measurements are 12.51mm in length. 0.34mm in maximum width, 15.5micro in depth of oral cavity, 0.667mm in length of the esophagus, 180~220 cuticular striations per mm, anal-opening on 0.088 mm from posterior end, and vulvar-opening on 0.544mm from anterior end. From the above findings it was confirmed as female worm of Thelazia callipaeda Railliet and Henry 1910.

After injection of See of 10% fluorescein sodium into the antecubital vein, the arm-to-retinal times of 22 normal adults were measured by watching through KOWA fundus camera (exciter filter: Fuji 18, barrier filter: Kodak Wratten 15G), and the retinal circulation times of 13 normal adults were measured with pictures of the serial fluorescein angiography by ZEISS fundus camera (exciter filter: Kodak Wratten 47A, barrier filter: Schott GG14). The normal ranges and the mean values of arm-to-retinal time and retinal circulation time are: 1. Arm-to-retina time; 9.0 sec. - 21.5 sec. (mean; 14.1 sec.). 2. Retinal circulation time; a. Early venous phase; 1.0 sec. - 5.0 sec. (mean; 2.6 sec.). b. Late venous phase; 4.5 sec. - 11.0 sec. (mean: 8.1 sec.).
