    Abstract:
    A new antiglaucoma operation has been developed: limbosclerectomy with valvular drainage of the supraciliary space. The operation was performed on 82 eyes with artiphakia, pseudophakia, and previously operated primary open-angle glaucoma. The patients were observed for 1.3 +/- 0.6 years after the intervention. Compensation of intraocular pressure and a significant increase in the coefficient of liquid discharge facility were observed in remote periods in all patients: in 95.1% patients without hypotensive therapy and in 4.9% cases instillations of 0.5% thimolol maleate twice a day were needed. Visual acuity and visual field borders did not appreciably change after the intervention. The operation is recommended for practice.
