[Iridocycloretraction in the surgical treatment of aphakic glaucome. Study on 11 cases].

Abstract

A study of 11 cases of iridocycloretraction carried out in aphakic glaucoma. The surgical technique is described is described together with the results and complications. The only technical difficulty is the invagination of the scleral tongues. The principle complication is hyphaema which does not alter the definitive tonometric result which was good in 5 cases. The effect on pressure seemed to be related to the maintenance of the scleral implants in the angle. Aqueous outflow occurred through the cyclodialysis.
