The fundus of the eye was examined in 302 children and adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes (mean age 14.2 years, SD 3.60, mean duration of diabetes 6.4 years, SD 3.83) by prolonged chromato-ophthalmoscopy and the finding was classified according to the authors' own extended classification of diabetic retinopathy. In 295 patients the authors assessed the mean value of glycosylated protein during the period of 3-6 months before assessment of the retina. When these values were compared with the retinal findings, a statistically highly significant relationship of retinopathy and the glucose compensation of diabetes was found (p < 0.001). The increase of the mean glycoprotein value during adolescence, as compared with the prepubertal period, was also statistically significant, while adolescents without retinopathy had lower mean glycoprotein values as compared with the group as a whole.

The authors examined by chromatoophtalmoscopy the optic fundus in 302 children and adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes. They classified the findings according to their own classification and selected from the entire number two groups of patients where the common sign was persistence of diabetes for a period of 5-8 years. Group A (n = 32) was, however, formed only by children under 11 years, while group B (n = 35) comprised adolescents aged 16-20 years. In group A the authors found incipient retinopathy in 12.5% children, in group B in 48.6% of the patients (p < 0.005). The degree of retinopathy was also more severe in older subjects. Comparison of the whole group by sex did not reveal a significant relationship (p > 0.05). In the conclusion the authors draw attention to the necessity of careful follow up of the optic finding in child diabetics, in particular during adolescence.

In a retrospective investigation the authors give an account of a group of 302 children and adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes (mean age 14.2 years, mean duration of diabetes 6.4 years) whom they examine regularly by chromatoophtalmoscopy and evaluate the findings according to their own extended classification of diabetic retinopathy. In 29% of the patients the finding was positive and in 25% the finding was suspect. The most frequent pathological change were microaneurysms; intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA) were detected in 13 patients. The trend towards proliferative changes is apparent in some patients surprisingly soon. The authors emphasize the sensitivity of the method which along with the extended classification of retinopathy makes its monitoring possible. The authors discuss the value of fluorescent angiography in the initial stages of retinal damage. They provide evidence of a statistically significant relationship of diabetic retinopathy and the duration of diabetes (p < 0.001) and age (p < 0.001).

The authors submit their own modification of the classification of diabetic retinopathy elaborated on the background of several years experience with the examination of children and adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes. The extended classification pattern makes it possible to differentiate and classify more accurately even slight incipient changes detected by chromatooophthalmoscopy. The presence of microaneurysms reflects well the degree of retinal damage in early stages. Special attention must be paid to intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA). The classification pattern is presented in a table included in the text.

A group of 2205 operations of strabismus in the course of 12 years reveals a clear predominance of operations of dynamic strabismus (94%), as compared with surgery of paralytic strabismus and ocular torticollis on account of nystagmus (6%). This fact provides evidence of a marked ratio of a non-paralytic aetiology of strabismus in the child population. In esotropia, the most frequent type of strabismus, the authors consider as most suitable the technique of weakening of the inner rectus muscles by a dosed elongation according to Gonin-Hollwich, as compared with the classical retroposition of this muscle. In exotropia the authors recommend reinforcing operations only or in combination with a weakening operation of the rectus muscles. The gradual development of application of the technique of surgery of the hyperfunctional lower oblique muscle is in favour of treble partial myotomy (elongation). They operate paretic strabismus when the IIIrd, IVth, VIth nerve are affected and supranuclear paresis of the levators by a complex procedure incl. transposition operations of the functional muscles. The authors operate ocular torticollis after a careful analysis of the congenital nystagmus, using special techniques on the rectus and oblique muscles which adjust the position of the head and bulbs.
