[The lessening of papillary excavation after the hypotonic treatment of the glaucomatous eye].
The possibility of improving the aspect of the glaucomatous excavation under the influence of the postoperative ocular hypotonization is shown on 12 eyes (11 patients) observed during the past 13 years. All patients suffered from very advanced chronic simple glaucoma--8 had a C/D 0.9 (postoperatively 0.6 in 3 eyes, 0.4 in 4 eyes and 0.1 in 1 eye), 3 a C/D 0.8 (postoperatively 0.4 in 1 eye and 0.2 in 2 eyes) and 1 a C/D 0.7 (which diminished postoperatively to 0.4). Of the 12 eyes, only one showed an improvement of the visual field, 5 a lowering of the visual acuity (progression of the cataract) and 3 a decrease of the visual field after a new increase of the intraocular pressure.
