The authors try to point out the question dealing with the surgery of congenital cataract in 1979. They remember the visual prognosis of congenital cataract according to its aetiology, as well as the best time to operate the child. The basic principles of the aspiration of this particular cataract are documented. Advantages and draw backs of each surgical procedure are presented.

Cuppers and Thomas, in 1975, imagined that in the presence of unilateral ptosis with paresis of the rectus superior muscle only, on this side, it was advisible to place a thread on the rectus superior adelphi muscle, in order to expect an improvement, even a recovery from ptosis, by provoking an elevation impulse of the levator muscle and of the rectus superior muscle on the eye with ptosis. The first four operations were unsuccessful. On the order hand, during the fifth operation, we were led, in addition to placing the thread, to procede on the same side, to a myectomy of the small oblique muscle. The result was excellent. Two more cases of ptosis operated in the same way have been healed too. We publish here the detailed case reports, we have tried to explain them, and to specify their indications.

While in most cases, the operation for cataract gives full satisfaction to the patient, it is nevertheless a fact that in some cases--perhaps only a few but certainly not to be neglected--the long term effects of such an operation are not well tolerated. The cause is not faculty performance of the operation, but most often unsuitable operational timing or technics or else defective or illchosen visual aids. These, therefore are the problems dealt with in this paper by the authors who made thorough study of the aphaque eye and its corrective methods.
