YAG sclerostomy was performed in 15 eyes of nine cynomolgus monkeys. Individual pulse energies ranged between 10 and 135 millijoules. Total pulse energy ranged between 2,000 and 36,000 millijoules in order to test the extreme range of energy that might be. required. Both acute effects and chronic ef

โฆ Synopsis
YAG sclerostomy is a filtering procedure performed entirely with the neodymium:YAG laser through a goniolens as an alternative to trabeculectomy in the treatment of glaucoma. Extremely large pulse powers have been required in the past to complete the procedure. We found that an injection of silver-stabilized protein intrasclerally prior to the procedure makes it possible to perform the procedure with low total power.

Ag,O and AgO formed by potentiostatic oxidation of silver in O.lN KOH have been chemically analysed for the mean valency of silver ion. The anodic oxide formation proceeds in two stages and the silver ion in the oxide changes from Ag+ to Ag2+ at a transition potential. The reduction of AgO at consta
