Abstract

5% Ismelin solution was used for the treatment of lid retraction in thyrotoxic patients. All but one diminiabed in size of palpebral fissures and in consequence they required less effort in closing their eyes. However, all of them developed congestion of the eyes which foroce them to stop their eye drops. One patient developed a filamentary keratitis and one other patient developed an ulcer in the bulbar conjunctiva. In spite of the significant ptosis following eye drops the punctate stainings of the conjunctiva and cornea persisted.
