Ophthalmic Surgery
Abstract Incision of the posterior part of the sclera is one of the oldest of operative measures for the relief of increased intraocular pressure. According to Priestley Smith,1 Beard2 and Duke-Elder3 it was William MacKenzie of Glasgow who first made use of this procedure, around 1830. However, Masselon,4 writing in 1886, stated that Guerin, of Lyon, had advised scleral puncture for ocular hypertension more than one hundred years previously. After MacKenzie this procedure seems to have fallen into disuse until revived by de Luca.5 Thereafter it was recommended in turn by such outstanding ophthalmic surgeons as Weber,6 Nicati,7 Parinaud,8 Priestley Smith1 and Gifford.9 Beard2 also stated that it was Masselon4 who first conceived the idea of doing a simple posterior sclerotomy without choroidotomy or retinotomy. But a rereading of the latter's concise French seems to show that he was References 1. Smith, P.: On Puncture of the Sclera as an Adjunct to Iridectomy in the Treatment of Glaucoma , Tr.
