“…A case with a single lesion on one upper eyelid that spread to all other eyelids causing bilateral exophthalmos and resulting in bilateral optic atrophy has also been reported (Barnard 1990). In contrast to orbital cellulitis or erysipelas, there is usually no pain or tenderness, no demarcation line and no suppuration in eyelid anthrax (Tassman 1946). However, there may be pitting and slight reddening of the skin and congestion of the conjunctiva (Ross & Shipman 1935).…”

“…Cutaneous anthrax accounts for the majority of cases, mostly in exposed skin areas, such as the face and forearms. In the face, the eyelid is the most common site of infection (Tassman 1946). Timely diagnosis and proper management are mandatory since untreated cutaneous anthrax results in death in 10% to 20% of cases whereas less than 1% will die following appropriate antibiotic treatment (Brachman 1983).…”

ABSTRACT.A 54-year-old female farmer with anthrax infection of the eyelids is presented. She was initially managed with high dose intravenous penicillin G treatment. Following complete healing of the eyelid lesions, significant cicatricial ectropion resulted. Her right lower eyelid ectropion was corrected by surgical reconstruction using full thickness skin graft after a period of 6 months during which the cicatrization process stabilized. Satisfactory cosmetic and functional improvement was achieved. Anthrax of the eyelid must be considered in the differential diagnosis of preseptal or orbital cellulitis and any reconstructive procedure should be attempted only after the cessation of the healing process.

“…When an iridologist is to make an important analysis, he prefers the patient to be present before him so that he might better see depth in the iris to judge the chronicity of the lesion. (4) Iridologists are accustomed to analyzing each kidney separately rather than assess¬ ing overall kidney function.…”

An Evaluation of Iridology

Iridology is an analysis of health based on examination of the iris of the eye. One hundred forty-three patients had photographs taken of both eyes. Nine-five patients were free of kidney disease, defined as a creatinine level of less than 1.2 mg/dL (mean, 0.8 mg/dL), and 48 had kidney disease severe enough to raise the plasma creatinine level to 1.5 mg/dL or greater (mean, 6.5 mg/dL). Three ophthalmologists and three iridologists viewed the slides in a randomized sequence without knowledge of the number of patients in the two categories or any information about patient history. Iridology had no clinical or statistically significant ability to detect the presence of kidney disease. Iridology was neither selective nor specific, and the likelihood of correct detection was statistically no better than chance.
