The technique of operations on rectus muscles is usually easy but indication is sometimes difficult and uncertain. These operations should bear repeating and therefore an appropriate technique should be used. ⋯ Not only the extent of squint deviation, refraction but also sensory status, age, etc. play a role in selecting the aim, tuning and extent of the operation. Besides simple standard operations, special techniques such as "faden operation", "anse", etc., are discussed.

Case Reports[Nephropathic and benign cystinosis (author's transl)].
Cystinosis is a rare, autosomally and recessively inherited disorder of amino-acid metabolism with ocular involvement. Four patients with this disease are reported on. The clinical signs of the first patient, who had nephropathic cystinosis, are compared with the signs and symptoms of the benign phenotype (benign cystinosis). ⋯ Crystals were also found in conjunctival sections from the third case. In the fourth case it proved impossible to demonstrate crystals clearly in either the bone marrow or in conjunctival sections. There was no evidence of any other cause of the corneal or conjunctival crystals.
