Lid Retractor for Cataract Extractions

A Plea for a More General Use of Desmarre's Eye-Lid Retractor in Cataract Extraction

Efficient Sample Preparation from Complex Biological Samples Using a Sliding Lid for Immobilized Droplet Extractions

Sample preparation is a major bottleneck in many biological processes. Paramagnetic particles (PMPs) are a ubiquitous method for isolating analytes of interest from biological samples and are used for their ability to thoroughly sample a solution and be easily collected with a magnet. There are three main methods by which PMPs are used for sample preparation: (1) removal of fluid from the analy...

A First Hundred Cases of Intra-Capsular Cataract Extractions.

, evidence indicates that they affect the invading -organism in the sense of producing 'a bacteriostatic action which, in many cases, is not sufficient to effect sterilization without the co-operation of the defensive mechanism of the host (MacCallan). I-t is, hoped that the above memorandum may be of interest to those ophthalmologists, who, under present conditions, are unable to peruse foreig...

Experience with the Harrington erisophake in fifty cataract extractions.

IN 1951, Dr. David Harrington of the Division of Ophthalmology, University of California, San Francisco, sent me one of his erisophakes. Since then I have used the instrument sporadically, by which I mean that in an operating list oftwo, three, or four cataract extractions, an occasional one was done with the erisophake, the rest in the ordinary way. Fifty such extractions have now been perform...

The Outcome of Extracapsular and Phacoemulsification Cataract Extractions

This study was to evaluate the post operative astigmatism and visual acuity of patients after extra capsular extraction (ECCE) and phacoemulsification (PE) for the purpose of recommending the appropriate referral time for cataract extraction. Subject's hospital file data comprising 30 ECCE and 48 PE were collected and recorded according to gender and the technique employed in the surgical proce...
