Iridencleisis in Congestive Glaucoma

Iridencleisis in congestive glaucoma.

Iridencleisis and Trap-door Iridectomy in the Treatment of Glaucoma.

AT the first meeting of the Society that was held in Coventry, in June, 1926, I read a paper on Iridencleisis and showed some cases upon whom the operation had been performed. At that time I had performed 15 operations only, and the paper was of a preliminary character. It was published in the Trans. Ofhthal. Soc. U.K., Vol. XLVI, page 353, 1926. When the paper came to me for proof correction I...

Gonioscopic studies in congestive glaucoma.

SINCE narrow-angle glaucoma was described by Barkan (1938), conflicting opinions have been expressed as to the correctness of his views. Barkan postulated, and many authors have since agreed with him, that the rise in intra-ocular pressure in the condition usually known as congestive glaucoma, is due to mechanical obstruction to the outflow of aqueous at the filtration angle of the anterior cha...

Intra-ocular pressure in primary congestive glaucoma.

THIS investigation was undertaken at the Institute of Ophthalmology, London, the patients being drawn from a series of 100 individuals. All of them suffered from glaucoma characterized by a clinical onset consisting of periodic halos, with episodes of blurred vision and ocular pain. They formed a group of primary glaucomas in the adult, defined in this paper as congestive. Other characteristics...

Trabeculectomy with iridencleisis.

An iridencleisis is added to the original trabeculectomy technique of Cairns as modified by Watson for the surgical treatment of glaucoma. The steps are described with special reference to the fashioning of the iridencleisis as an iris tongue lying curled upon itself with the pigmented layer lining the inner aspect of the iris resting between the scleral flaps. Two series of patients from Afric...
