The study represent an up-to-date of the role and place of alpha 2-adrenergic agonists in glaucoma treatment. The first available alpha 2-agonist, clonidine is of historical importance today.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Potentiated loco-regional anesthesia in ophthalmological surgery].
A clinical study on 46 patients, who were operated on for ophthalmologic diseases under local anaesthesia, is presented. Midazolam, diazepam and/or pethidine, given to the patients 5-10 minutes before the operation improved the classical local anaesthesia; they ensured hypnosis, analgesia, anterograde amnesia and vegetative protection, thus offering a high surgical comfort and diminishing considerably the rate of the well known incidences and complications of the local anaesthesia.

Female patient, forty-two years old, was assaulted during sleep. She was strangulated with a rubber hose.

The visual acuity becomes normal. It is an interesting case due rarity of lesions.
