This retrospective study concerns complications arising from 1304 first operations for cataract carried out between 1982 and 1987 by two surgeons having followed the same training and using the same techniques. Loss of vitreous (2.5%) cystoid macular edema (1.9%), and retinal detachement (1.1%) are those complications occurring most frequently in this series. Other serious complications, in descending order, are trauma (0.7%), iris prolaps (0.5%), corneal dystrophy (0.4%), pupillary block (0.3%), expulsive hemorrhage (0.15%), loss of the nucleus in the vitreous (0.07%), panophthalmia (0.07%). Secondary cataract was noted in 31% of cases.

We performed a retrospective computerized study of 1304 consecutive cataract extractions, of which 251 were intracapsular and 1053 extracapsular. The analysis of surgically induced astigmatism after a mean follow-up of 22.8 months involved 639 cases. Operations were performed by two experienced surgeons using a similar and standardized technique; however the location of the incision varied without selecting patients: 391 were corneal, 248 limbal. We found that corneal incision gives significantly more against-the-rule astigmatism (average -0.61 dptr) than limbal incision (average -0.32 dptr). The suture induced astigmatism has no determining effect on the final astigmatism (correlation coefficient = 0.011). Selective suture cutting is an interesting technique for an individual dosage of the amount of final astigmatism.

The exocrine pancreatic function has been estimated using the N-benzoyl-L-Tyrosyl para-amino-benzoic acid test (NBT PABA test) and by measuring the trypsinemia by radio-immunoassay (RIA trypsinemia) in nonselected cases of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in comparison with normal controls. The NBT PABA test was pathological in 37,5% of SS and 35% of RA patients but in none of the controls. The RIA trypsinemia was found to be high in 6,2% of SS and 45% of RA patients. These findings suggest that exocrine pancreatic function is impaired in some SS and RA cases. However, this exocrine pancreatic defect was clinically silent in all patients.

Among the side-effects due to the psychotropic drugs, one knows the ocular lesions, especially those due to major tranquillizers (f.e. opacities in the cornea and the lens). Ocular examination of 73 patients suffering of affective disorders, and receiving lithium salts during several years showed no significant ocular lesions due to the medication.
