The use of intraoperative mitomycin C during deep sclerectomy significantly reduced the postoperative IOP and increased the success rate of the procedure.

Actinomyces canaliculitis presents with epiphora, chronic purulent conjunctivitis, a palpably thickened canaliculus, and yellow punctual discharge. In suspect cases canuliculotomy and curettage should be performed, although canalicular reconstruction is generally unnecessary. Culture of discharge and concretions using PD Plus/F blood culture medium gave improved results over accepted norms. Fixation of smeared concretions on a slide in alcohol is simple and is diagnostic of the disease. We recommend long-term systemic penicillin treatment in Actinomyces canaliculitis.
