title: [Surgical treatment of low pressure glaucoma].
abstract: Eyes with non-controlled--in spite of a conservative treatment--bilateral low-tension glaucoma with a decreased facility of outflow (10 patients, 20 eyes) were subjected to antiglaucoma operations. Trabeculectomy was performed in one eye, a filtering operation in the second one. During the observation period of 1.5 years it showed that in the low-tension glaucoma the visual function undergoes more frequently stabilization after a more radical glaucomatous procedure (of filtration type) when the postoperative fall in the intraocular pressure exceeds 20% and its daily oscillations are considerably reduced.
