ABSTRACT
1. Ten percent neosynephrine cotton pact for 30 to 60 minutes in the lower fornix is a simple, convenient and effective procedure in restoring the depth of flat and shallow anterior chamber after cataract extraction. It succeeds where atropine and neosynephrine drops fail2. It relieves whatever relative insufficiency exists in the openings in the iris-hyaloid diaphragm and by lessening aqueous information, it decreases the pressure posterior to the diaphragm3. Sealing whatever leaks there is in the operative wound tends to raise the pressure anterior to the iris-hyaloid diaphragm and enhances its backward replacement4. It is preferable to apply the pack on the third day after the anterior chamber has become flat or shallow5. Its complications and side reactions are rare and mild. (Conclusions)
