The authors describe a novel technique of ab interno trabecular surgery that attempts to scrape pathologically altered trabecular meshwork olf of the scleral sulcus. Histologic findings and preliminary clinical results are promising.

32. Tarkannen A, Hietanen J: The impact of exfoliation syndrome on thera•• peutic efficacy in open-angle glaucoma. Curr Opin Ophthalmol 1995, 6:10-14. This article deals with the impact of the exfoliation syndrome on therapeutic efficacy in open-angle glaucoma. The authors conclude that the results of both medical and long-term laser treatment are ineffective, which leads to progressive visual field damage. Thus, filtering procedures are indicated at an earlier stage in exfoliative glaucoma than in primary open-angle glaucoma.
