The Barkan goniotomy is more effective as the anterior chamber is longer maintained during the operation. The authors succeeded in good angular debridation, maintaining the chamber using a metilcelulosis solution from a 2 cc syringe and abandoning any other tubulature for infusion liquids. There were good results at 5 years, with lowering and the reducing of the corneal diameters, by a unique goniotomy.

[Surgery of concomitant strabismus with an adjustable suture].

The authors emphasize the main features of the "adjustable suture" in concomitant strabismus surgery. Good results (over 92% of orthotropia) were noted especially in very young children (under 3 years of age)--cases in which an exact study on the status of motricity and vision is not possible.

[Posttraumatic blood clot in the anterior chamber--the therapeutic problems].

Blood presence in anterior chamber in coagulated form raises special therapeutical problems. Even when the blood pressure is normal, it is not allowed to wait too much, because the clot doesn't have the tendency of fast resorption. They are emphasized the surgical difficulties, caused by a too large opening and by adherence of the clot to the iris, capsule of the lens and hyaloid, the necessity of use of a spatula for the detachment of the clot in case the urokinasis may not be used.
