title: Experiences with some modifications of cyclodialysis for aphakic glaucoma.
abstract: Continued attempts to improve the success rate with modifications of the cyclodialysis procedure have been made and described here. The results with a scleral pedicle insertion and with a long scleral incision parallel to the limbus were very poor. As a result of improvements in the technique of separating the ciliary body from the scleral spur by depressing the former mechanically and of using of meridional incision to avoid a scar barrier, I have returned to a modified Blaskovics procedure. Further use of this procedure with continued follow-up is planned. However, I invite you to try the various procedures described here, including Aviner's, so that we may find ways of improving our results with this potentially excellent operations, especially in aphakic glaucoma as primary procedures.
