Early reformation of the anterior chamber after intraocular surgery is of paramount importance, its absence or delay leading to peripheral anterior synechiae and aphakic glaucoma (Troncoso, 1933;Kronfeld and Grossman, 1941; McLean, I94I; Meyer and Sternberg, 1950).Selinger (1937) injected air after cataract operations to restore the normal curvature of the cornea.He concluded that air prevented blockage of the chamber angle by pressing on the iris hyaloid diaphragm and thus avoiding such post- operative complications as iris prolapse and secondary glaucoma.
