Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical resection of the sclera in patients with primary open-angle and secondary glaucoma. Materials and methods. The study included 84 patients with POAG and SG stages III-IV and decompensated IOP level (not higher than 32 mm Hg). In order to normalize the increased ophthalmotonus, a non - penetrating operation was performed-surgical resection of the sclera (SRS). The patients underwent complex ophthalmological examination and dynamic observation. Result. In the studied groups of patients after surgical treatment there was a decrease in elevated IOP levels by 33.42%, an improvement in the coefficient of ease of outflow and a weakening of the hypotensive regime. Stabilization of visual functions was observed in all patients. Summary. The proposed new SRS technique provides a smooth decrease in IOP, preservation of visual functions and is not accompanied by intra-and postoperative complications. Key words: primary open-angle glaucoma, surgical resection of sclera, secondary glaucoma, uveoscleral outflow pathway (USPO), intraocular pressure, EO coefficient .
