ROLE OF DESCEMETOGONIOPUNCTURE IN NORMALIZATION OF INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE IN CASES OF IOP ELEVATION IN THE EARLY POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD AFTER MICROINVASIVE NON-PENETRATING DEEP SCLERECTOMY ^{[№ 12 ' 2012]}
There were analyzed reasons, inducing elevation of intraocular pressure in 49 patients (49 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma in 1–3 months following microinvasive non-penetrating deep sclerectomy. A high thickness of trabecular Descemet membrane and presence of hypoechoic contents within the intrascleral space are the main factors leading to worsening of aqueous humor outflow and elevation of IOP in the early postoperative period. Normalization of IOP level basing on findings of ultrasound biometry was achieved in all the patients due to laser Descemetogoniopuncture.
