title: [Use of contact lenses during argon laser iridectomies (author's transl)].
abstract: Advantages appear to be gained by the use of a specific contact lens during argon laser iridectomy. On the one hand, the energy level is increased on the iris and diminished on the retina. On the other hand, coagulation is directed near the iris base and far from the posterior pole. Specifications of a new contact lens are presented.
