Summary: Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to demonstrate the procedure and evaluate efficacy of intrascleral placement of peripheral iris as a method of treatment in advanced glaucoma cases.
Material and methods: 24 patients with advanced glaucoma were enrolled in the study. Surgery was performed. The IOP was measured before the surgery, 5 days, 1 month and 6 months after the surgery. The effectiveness of treatment and rate of complications were assessed.
Results: Average IOP after surgery significantly decreased from 46,16 ± 8,99 mmHg to 14,33 ± 4,59 at the 5th day after the surgery, 17,20 ± 3,88 at 1 month and 17,75 ± 4,09 at 6 months. The efficacy of treatment was 91,66% at 5th day, 87,5% at 1 month and 83,33% at 6 months.
Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest that this technique is effective in advanced glaucoma cases and is associated with low complication rate.
