ABSTRACT
The authors analyse 24 observations of retinal detachment with macular hole in high myopia. All this patients have been treated by C3F8 internal tamponade. Silicon oil has been only used for recurrences. After a study of vitreoretinal connections, the cause of recurrences are analysed according to echometry, detachment degree and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

The problems posed by the treatment of open angle glaucoma, are long term clinical efficacy and local and general tolerance. Beta-blocking eye-drops used in monotherapy constitute a first rate treatment. The authors describe their experience with Metipranolol at three different concentrations of 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.6%. They detail the selection criteria for the best adapted concentration through the evaluation of the beneficial result. Risk ratio.

Isolation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was attempted from the tears of seven patients with ARC. For two of these patients the fluid from cell cultures showed significant reverse transcriptase activity. One strain was maintained on C.E.M. (T lymphocytes cell line). Indirect fixed cell immuno fluorescence and Western Blot tests have shown this strain to be a HIV. This result confirms other already published data. Although there is no evidence of transmission through tears, the presence of the virus should not be forgotten.
