Limbal trephination: a twenty-year follow-up.
In this series the results of limbal trephination were excellent in patients over 35 years of age, particularly those in the 50 and older age group, with chronic open-angle and chronic angle-closure glaucoma. Results were poor in younger age groups and in those with secondary glaucoma, particularly when it was associated with inflammatory disease.
