[Results of the ciliary body exposure (CBE) in secondary angle closure glaucomas. 1. A clinical study (author's transl)].

The authors present their clinical results of the ciliary body exposure following Benedikt and Hiti. This technique has been performed in 23 patients suffering from secondary angle closure glaucoma. As far as the intraocular tension is concerned good results have been obtained in nearly half of the patients. The results are compared with those of other surgical techniques against secondary angle closure glaucomas.
