Iridectomy.—In a simple iridectomy a piece of the iris is removed without any attempt being made to drag it away from its periphery. In eyes in which it has been 45s. Fig. 169.—Shows a section through the angle of the anterior chamber of an eye upon which an iridectomy had been performed for primary glaucoma of two months' duration. The tension was relieved by the operation, but the eye had to be excised five weeks later on account of ulceration of the cornea. The iris has been removed right up to the ciliary body and the angle of anterior chamber opened up. performed successfully for acute glaucoma, and which have subsequently had to be removed for some intercurrent malady, the root of the iris was found to have become dis- lodged from its faulty position.^ Evidently in such cases sufficient time had not elapsed for it to have become adherent to the cornea. The escape of the aqueous, and consequent relief of pressure in the vitreous chamber, together with the local escape of blood and manipulation of the iris, must have sufficed to dislodge it from apposition with the cornea, and to have reopened the normal excretory channels.
