title: [Chandler's basal iridectomy. Our observations on surgical indications, technic and value].
abstract: Basal iridectomy is a pupillary bypass having a prophylactic role, when made on an eye with potential glaucoma, and a curative role when performed on an eye with primary narrow angle glaucoma in the reversible stage of the disease. The authors present their experience on 37 eyes, using Charleux-Etienne's technique that, compared with Chandler's technique is more advantageous: the limb remains intact for a possible future operation, it is simple, rapid, without risks, efficient and elegant.
