Over the years the Retina Foundation of the Eye Research Institute has been responsible for many breakthroughs including the scanning laser ophthalmoscope permitting a weak laser light into the eye for examination purposes. It has discovered early methods of diagnosis for macular degeneration, ways of utilizing the laser beam in many types of eye surgery, use of the cyclotron to destroy tumors within the eye not responsive to radiotherapy and many other areas solving the riddle of eye diseases. The 10th annual dinner dance to benefit the Eye Research Institute of the Retina Foundation will be held at the Flagler Museum, by invitation only.

According to Pharo, "The aspi-I ration unit is a very sophisticated set of 'plumbing' that allows the cataract surgeon to remove carefully controlled amounts of fluid from the eye during the process of removing cataractous lens. The fluid actually works in conjunction with the phacoemulsifier to flush out from the eye the damaged cataractous lens." For the first time Good Samaritan Hospital will receive an in-, strument of their choice from the Retina Foundation. The instrument chosen is a new slit lamp. The slit lamp shines a small slit of light into the patient's eye. The light and special viewing portion of the instrument makes it possible for the ophthalmologist to carefully examine the many layers of tissue within the eye.

The clear cornea of the front of the eye and a lens behind the cornea for focusing light can be examined. Dr. Charles L. Schepins, founder and president of the foundation, has developed it into the world's largest independent eye research institute. The organization consists of more than 100 ophthalmologists, scientists, surgeons, specialists, and technicians chosen from around the world.

Freed of patient care and responsibilities search continues to give back the sight to tens of thousands of peo-; pie who would otherwise suffer the restrictions of impaired or loss of vision. There has been incredible ad-; vances in care of retinal diseases, macular degeneration, corneal problems, and other sight-threat- ening diseases. Pharo announced that for the first time the institute is involved in research not directly involved with eye diseases. "We have developed a test to measure the toxicity of substances and products that can be damaging if they get into the eye. Products such as cosmetics, furniture polish and others are being tested.

Originally tests have been done with rabbits. Our test doesn't use animals to this degree as cells are grown in beakers in the laboratory and the test will eliminate the pain and suffering ordinarily endured by masses of rabbits," he said. Pharo also spoke of the development of new types of artificial tears. "There are several types of on the market," said the 11 doctor. "But none of the existing artificial tears are good over the fro in Calvin Klein long, lean, beautifully composed From the glint of the gold-colored buttons to the crisp little side pleat of the slender skirt, this is haberdash we can't resist now.
