Iridencleisis

Iridencleisis is a surgical procedure to treat glaucoma. It consists of creating an artificial filtration path from the anterior chamber of the eye to the subconjunctival space.

With iridencleisis, a partial incision is made into the iris and ciliary body. The edge of the iris is then fixed to the sclera, creating a small hole for the outflow of intraocular fluid. This helps reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further development of glaucoma.

Thus, iridencleisis is an effective method of surgical treatment of glaucoma, in which a new pathway for the outflow of intraocular fluid is created by fixing the iris to the sclera. This operation allows you to maintain reduced intraocular pressure for a long time.

Iriden kleisis or IRIDEN-KLÉISIS from the Greek iridization and closure point

This is an interesting process of dilating the vessels of the retina using iridoplasty. That is, an intervention is performed at the root of the iris. Then, in bright light, you can see a “speck” in the sky, which has its own specific shade. It happens that people simply don’t notice them. What is the procedure? Since the iris tissue is made of collagen, it is difficult to fix. But at the same time, it turns out to be tightly fused with the lens - a kind of transition zone between it and the front part of the eye. It is in this area that surgical manipulations are usually performed.
