This work earned him international renown Authored formulations of a number of medicines for Laboratórios Granado Showed that sapucainha (Carpotroche brasiliensis) oil as an alternate to chaulmoogra oil due to isolating chaulmugric and hydnocarpic acids from this oil SOME BIBLIOGRAPHY A coroba (Jacaranda tomentosa R.

Ser. 11:106-12, 1957 Showed diurnal intraocular pressure curve as best method to evaluate intraocular pressure (1961) Proposed that trabeculotomy combined with echometry was the surgical procedure of choice in refractory congenital glaucomas (1972) Showed that most reliable mode to check glaucoma in newborn and infants was the measurement of length of the globe using echometry as long as intraocular pressure had to be measured under general anesthesia with all its sources for errors (1973) With J. Zarate & O. Croxatto described the clinical picture of the chamber angle in capsular glaucoma (1988) With J.R. Sampaolesi developed Buenos Aires staging system (BASS) which classifies optic nerve damage in five phases (1995)
