Lagrangian Iridosclerectomy

Lagrange iridectomy is a surgical procedure that is used to treat glaucoma. It involves removing part of the iris (iridotomy) and sclerotomy - surgical intervention on the sclera (the outer layer of the eye).

This operation was developed by French ophthalmologist Jean-Baptiste de Lagrange in the 19th century. He was one of the first to propose the use of iridotomy to reduce intraocular pressure and treat glaucoma. Nowadays, Lagrange iridosclerotomy is performed using modern technology and instruments to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

The Lagrange iridosclerotomy procedure is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 30-40 minutes. The surgeon makes a small incision in the front of the eye, then removes part of the iris and sclera. After surgery, the patient may experience temporary blurred vision, but this usually goes away within a few days.

Lagrange iridosclerotoma can be used as a stand-alone treatment for glaucoma or in combination with other methods such as laser treatment, medications or shunt surgery. However, like any other surgical procedure, it has its risks and can cause complications such as bleeding, infection or damage to the optic nerve.

Overall, Lagrange iridoscelerotoma is an effective treatment for glaucoma that can help reduce intraocular pressure and improve vision. However, before undertaking this procedure, it is necessary to consult with an ophthalmologist and undergo a complete examination to ensure its safety and effectiveness for a particular patient.



Lagrangealosclerectonia is surgery to remove melanoma of the iris. It was developed by French ophthalmologist Nicolas E. Jacques Lagrange. He was also one of the first researchers and surgeons to study various aspects of glaucoma.

Lagrange founded an ophthalmological clinic in Paris in 1879 and then moved to Toulouse, where he continued to practice ophthalmology. In Toulouse, he performed a number of operations to treat various eye diseases, and also developed and introduced new surgical methods.

Lagrange's most famous work was surgery to remove tumors in the eye. In particular, he developed a technique for performing surgery to remove retinal aneurysms. This operation has become very popular in the world, including in Russia. Lagrange also developed an original technique for performing an operation to transplant the cornea and sclera of the eye.

In addition, Lagrange was a student of Zinovy ​​Lazarevich Merzon, an outstanding Russian ophthalmologist who studied oncological diseases of the eye and co-editor of the Russian edition of the textbook. Merzon was the author of many studies in the field of ophthalmology.
