Landolt Operation

Landolt surgery is a surgical procedure that is used to treat glaucoma. It was developed by the Swiss ophthalmologist Landolt in 1880.

Glaucoma is a disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure and damage to the optic nerve. Landolt surgery involves creating a hole in the sclera of the eye, which reduces the pressure inside the eye and improves vision.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. After surgery, the patient must remain in the hospital for several days to monitor his condition.

Landolt surgery is an effective treatment for glaucoma, however it may have some complications such as bleeding, infection or damage to the eye. Therefore, before performing the operation, it is necessary to conduct a complete examination of the patient and ensure its safety.

In conclusion, we can say that Landolt surgery remains one of the most effective methods of treating glaucoma and continues to be used in modern ophthalmology.

Landolt operation. Surgery for esotropia and hypertrophy of the inferior rectus muscles of the eye. Named after the ophthalmologist Alois Landolt (1844-1934).

Unlike westacogg, which improves the functional result, but often causes asthenopia due to a discrepancy in the length of the affected muscle, the Landolt operation can be performed both unilaterally and bilaterally.
