Abstract

A method of injecting an air bubble into a flat anterior chamber (iridocorneal apposition) following trabeculectomy is described. Nine of nine cases have been successfully treated. One case required a second injection of air into the anterior chamber 24 hours after the first air injection. No complications have been noted.
