[A variable pressure and distance impression funnel for fundus examination (author's transl)]. 1977

H Busse

We describe a variable pressure and variable distance impression funnel for the Goldmann-3-mirror contact glass. The advantage of this apparatus lies in the possibility of denting the bulbus up to the equator for the diagnosis of holes while the retina is still attached. This funnel has proved itself especially in light coagulation through the contact glass with the slitlamp.

D003042	Cocaine	An alkaloid ester extracted from the leaves of plants including coca. It is a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor and is clinically used for that purpose, particularly in the eye, ear, nose, and throat. It also has powerful central nervous system effects similar to the amphetamines and is a drug of abuse. Cocaine, like amphetamines, acts by multiple mechanisms on brain catecholaminergic neurons; the mechanism of its reinforcing effects is thought to involve inhibition of dopamine uptake.
