RESUMO
The Fadenoperation was performed on 24 rabbit eyes. In 8 eyes the globe and muscle were removed intact and in 16 eyes the muscle was dissected from the sclera to determine the site and degree of attachment. The greatest degree of adherence was found between the muscle and the sclera at the site of the suture, less attachment at the lateral and medial border of the muscle, less in the central area close to the suture site, and least in the central anterior area. The Fadenoperation creates adherence of the muscle to the sclera. Its clinical usefulness will, however, depend on clinical evaluation.

Congenital eversion of the upper eyelids is rare. Most previous cases were associated with Down's Syndrome, difficult labor and delivery, or underlying skin disorders. The two present cases occurred in normal patients with unremarkable deliveries. They responded promptly to conservative treatment, including use of a horizontal grid of tape on each lid, which successfully repositioned the lids and facilitated instillation of antibiotic solutions.

Aeromonas hydrophila as the etiologic agent of endophthalmitis is rare, having only been reported in association with a perforating injury of the eye. We describe a case of isolated spontaneous, endogenous endophthalmitis due to this agent, with no apparent source.
