Author Affiliations

Abstract

Objective: To study the effectiveness of the method of preventing complications caused by perforation of trabecular-descemet’s membrane during non-perforating surgery. Material and methods: 25 cases of micro-perforation of trabecular-descemet’s membrane during non-penetrating deep sclerectomy. The anterior chamber was filled with 0.2 ml viscoelastic and the HealaFlow 0.1 ml was injected under the sclera flap. Results: The cases of hypotension and choroidal detachment were not revealed. The intraocular pressure was on average 18.3 ± 3.1 at 12 months after surgery. Discussion: The suggested technique of anterior chamber restoration produces optimum conditions for aqueous humor filtration, prevents a displacement of iris root and the trabeculum descement`s membrane block.
