The authors show that with the Excimer laser partial trabeculectomy can be performed, a procedure in which the juxtacanalicular meshwork is removed while the other layers remain untouched. It was proved in experiments on ten enucleated human eyes that at most 3% of the outflow resistance is localized in the uveal and sclerocorneal meshwork. The clinical applicability of partial trabeculectomy was demonstrated on five eyes.
