Abstract: | Photocoagulation of the iris surface in the course of rubeosis iridis was performed in 11 patients (12 eyes) with secondary absolute glaucoma. The intraocular pressure was lowered down to 30-35 mm Hg in 8 eyes, in the remaining 4 eyes it oscillated between 45 and 50 mm Hg. The pain receded in all the cases. One considers the possibility that in the disappearance of pain--besides the lowering of the IOP--a substantial factor was the lesion of the innervation of the iris. |
