The findings included degeneration of the intracranial optic nerves, lateral geniculate nucleus, and visual cortex. Rehabilitation of glaucoma patients may require strategies beyond protection of the optic nerve. See p 674

      MICROBIAL CORNEAL ULCERS AND THE RISK OF PERFORATION

      Microbial keratitis is an important preventable cause of monocular blindness. Titiyal and co-workers report the result of a study of corneal ulcers in northern India. Unlike previous reports they did not find a significant association of topical steroids with the risk of perforation. Traditional eye medications have been …
