Iridocapsulectomy

An iridocapsuleectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat glaucoma, a disease that causes increased intraocular pressure. Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness in the world.

The iridocapsule is the capsule that surrounds the lens of the eye. It is made up of connective tissue and plays an important role in maintaining normal intraocular pressure and the shape of the eye. However, with glaucoma, the iridocapsule can become too dense and rigid, leading to increased intraocular pressure, which can lead to vision loss.

For the treatment of glaucoma, iridocapsuloectomy is one of the most effective methods. During this operation, the surgeon removes part of the iridocapsule, which causes increased intraocular pressure. This reduces intraocular pressure and reduces the risk of complications such as vision loss and damage to the optic nerve.

After an iridocapsuloectomy, the patient must undergo a period of rehabilitation, during which he must follow the doctor's recommendations to prevent complications. Usually, after surgery, patients can return to their normal lives, but they need to be more careful and follow the doctor's recommendations.

In general, iridocapsuleectomy is an effective method of treating glaucoma, which can reduce the risk of complications and preserve vision. However, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and discuss all possible risks and benefits with your doctor.

Iridocappulectomy - (irido capsulectomy; lat. iris iris + lat. capsula). surgical operation: removal of the third membrane from the anterior surface of the iris in severe glaucoma, in which drainage of the opened pupillary opening is especially difficult or impossible. Removing part of the iris improves the conditions for the outflow of intraocular fluid and serves as an important means of compensating for the resulting disturbance in the hydrodynamics of the eye.

The iridoplegia surgical procedure includes the following steps: during surgery, drops are necessarily used to narrow the pupil with the help of adrenaline. In this case, a 0.5-1% solution is administered, according to the dose - from
