[Late results of intrascleral peripheral iridencleisis].

Intrascleral peripheral iridencleisis was performed in 50 eyes with primary glaucoma in persons aged 41-71 years. The results of operation were evaluated after 5-10 years. The intraocular pressure did not exceed 21 mm Hg in 88% of eyes after the surgery alone and in 4% after an additional topical treatment. Regulation of the IOP down to 22 mm Hg was kept after surgery in 94% and after an additional treatment in 4% of the eyes. The mean coefficient of the aqueous outflow increased from 0.08 before surgery to 0.18 after it. Complications connected with the surgical procedure were scarce and negligible.
