12/01/2002 - "The goniscopic examination and provocative tests following laser peripheral iridectomy are very important and also effective in detecting this kind of glaucoma."
02/01/1992 - "(It is assumed but not proven that, since iridectomy was considered necessary in one group and not in the other, the surgically-treated patients were more seriously diseased.) Comparing clinical data obtained at the first visit with data obtained at the last visit, the eyes receiving iridectomies, as compared with those receiving medical treatment alone, showed a greater number of improved anterior chamber configurations (74% vs 28%), had a lower incidence of peripheral anterior synechiae (2% vs 10%), and required fewer glaucoma medications (30% fewer vs 10% fewer). "
09/01/1976 - "A retrospective study of 57 eyes with chronic angle-closure showed that eyes with visual field loss are less likely to be improved by iridectomy than those without visual field loss in the presence of visual field loss, trabeculectomy achieved more satisfactory control of glaucoma than did iridectomy, and there was no noticeable difference in surgical complications between iridectomy and trabeculectomy in this small series. "
06/01/1983 - "Medical treatment followed by bilateral simultaneous iridectomy appears to be an effective basis for managing a patient who presents with acute glaucoma. "
01/01/2023 - "Trabeculectomy remains the gold standard in surgical therapy for secondary uveitic glaucoma, but other surgical techniques can also be used (Ahmed drainage implants, goniotomy in the paediatric population, surgical iridectomy, and synechiae for angle closure etc.). "
