Abstract
- The Iridocycloretraction(ICR) is a new surgical procedure which has been developed by Krasnov to treat the organic closure of the anterior chamber angle. The iris root is forced by two (or more) interposing autoimplants of the patients scleral tissue and the ICR restores the normal access of aqueous to the outflow pathways between the anterior chamber and suprachoroidal space, as in cyclodialysis. Since 1981 we have operated 7 eyes by this ICR operations. The causes of our cases were: 3 cases of aphakic glaucoma, 2 cases of neovascular glaucoma, 1 case of pseudophakic glaucoma and 1 case of complicated glaucoma. The results of the ICR were very effective for lowering the ocular hypertension in all 7 cases. Only two hyphemas were experienced after operation in the neovascular glaucoma.
