Iridocyclosclerectomy

Iridocyclosclerotomy (ICS) is a surgical procedure that is performed to treat various eye diseases such as glaucoma, uveitis, cataracts and others. It involves removing the iridocyclitis membrane (iridocyclitis), which consists of the iris (iris) and sclera (the outer layer of the eye).

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. During the operation, the surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea of ​​the eye, then removes the iridocyclic membrane along with its contents and, if necessary, removes the cataract. After this, the surgeon closes the incision with a special membrane and applies sutures.

ICI is an effective treatment for many eye diseases. It reduces intraocular pressure, reduces inflammation and improves vision. However, like any other surgery, it may have some risks, such as corneal damage or complications. Therefore, before performing ICS, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and conduct an appropriate examination.
