[Ultrasonic cyclodialysis in glaucoma surgery in aphakia]

V P Erichev, F E Fridman, M B Kodzov

    Vestnik Oftalmologii
    |January 1, 1993

    Summary

    A novel ultrasonic cyclodialysis surgery effectively treats aphakic eye glaucoma by normalizing intraocular pressure. This minimally invasive procedure improves fluid drainage and reduces humor production, offering a safe treatment option.
