title: [A new surgical procedure in angle block glaucoma].
abstract: Authors show the results obtained in 29 eyes of 29 patients with closed angle glaucoma operated with ECCE plus posterior chamber IOL implantation. After a follow up varying from 1 to 35 months (mean = 20.7) all eyes are under good control (25 without therapy, 4 with topical therapy) of I.O.P. Authors report on the "rationale" of their surgical approach: particular anatomo-functional features of the eyes affected by closed angle glaucoma. Pre-op. and post-op. biometrical and gonioscopical findings are described and discussed.
