A 35‐year‐old male presented with asymptomatic dark slate‐gray hyperpigmentation over both eyelids on both sides for the past 1 year. There was no history of trauma, pre‐existing dermatosis, or topical and/or systemic medications before the onset of pigmentation. Local cutaneous examination revealed well‐defined dark slate‐gray hyperpigmented patches chiefly involving both the right and left up...

We report an unusual periocular injury in a 19-year-old motorcycle rider during an accident. The patient had lacerations on the right upper and lower eyelids and the globe was enucleated en bloc. Despite disorganization of the eyelids and orbit, reconstruction of the eyelids and anophthalmic socket was successful. The primary reconstruction of the anophthalmic socket in the traumatic enucleatio...

The paper presents some empirical studies aimed at singling out the meanings of specific items of gaze and of some of their parameters. It argues that the values on some parameters of gaze items are not comparable to phonemes in a verbal language, but rather to morphemes, since by themselves they convey some specific meanings. The different positions of the upper and lower eyelids are combined ...

IN times of mass vaccination, instances of auto-inoculation from a vaccination pustule, or contamination from a recently vaccinated case, are not very uncommon. In the 4 months immediately following the outbreak of smallpox in Bradford (Douglas and Edgar, 1962), the Public Health Laboratory Service reported in the British Isles nineteen cases of accidental vaccinial infection of the eyes, and i...

AMYLOIDOSIS is usually categorized as a degenerative process. Nevertheless, the nature and pathogenesis of this disorder remain most uncertain. Reimann, Koucky, and Eklund (1935) have classified amyloidosis in four groups: primary, secondary, tumour-forming, and associated with multiple myeloma. Tumour-forming amyloidosis is known to occur as a primary process in the tissues of the eye, urinary...

ALTHOUGH a very rare condition, a case of congenital eversion of the upper eyelids has recently been ieported from America by Ostriker and Lasky (1954) and Hopen (1955). I have not been able to find any case report in the British literature over the last 20 years. Mann (1937) mentions that congenital entropion and ectropion of the lids are extremely rare. DukeElder (1952) mentions that the lid ...
