Abstract:
After treatment of secondary angle closure glaucomas by ciliary body exposure with lamellar scleral resection five eyes had to be enucleated. In view of the histological findings taken from these eyes mode of action and therapeutic value of this operation are considered. The effectiveness of scleral resection seems to be doubtful and there is evidence that permanent regulation of intraocular tension depends mainly on direct diathermy of the ciliary body.
