title: [Method of opening the anterior chamber of the eye].
abstract: A method for opening the anterior chamber from under the conjunctival corneal flap was developed. Experimental study of the healing characteristics of the back' profile corneal incision and of the method suggested by the authors, that was used in 12 isolated cadaver eyes, has demonstrated the advantages of the new technique. Clinical trials have confirmed better healing characteristics of the new incision as against the corneal incision. This helped reduce the number of the healing sutures from 7-8 to 4-5. The functional results of treatment (vision acuity, postoperative astigmatism) were also better after anterior chamber opening from under the conjunctival corneal flap.
