Abstract
Case histories are given to illustrate the effect of levoglaucosan (Linksglaukosan) in simple glaucoma; of amin-glaucosan in acute glaucoma; and of levoglaucosan in acute iritis with posterior synechiæ, and in iris adhesions accompanying injuries. In five cases of simple glaucoma levoglaucosan lowered the tension transitorily, five cases were unaffected, one was permanently improved, but in no case was the tension permanently lowered by the use of glaucosan alone. Amin-glaucosan failed to reduce the tension in six cases of acute glaucoma. Levoglaucosan was valuable in breaking fresh iris adhesions in acute iritis or uveitis, was of no value in separating old iris adhesions, and did not break up adhesions directly associated with injuries.
