Trabeculotomy was carried out in 30 eyes, in 3 of these combined with trabeculectomy. The intraocular pressure became normalized in 23 eyes, in 7 of these without post‐operatively medical treatment. Sinusotomy was carried out in 18 eyes. Satisfactory regulation of the intraocular pressure was achieved in 15 eyes, in 9 of these without medical treatment. The new microsurgical methods thus seem to give a satisfactory regulation of the intraocular pressure as frequently as conventional fi1tration operations.
