Considering the tendency of dystrophic processes in the eye to progress, all patients after antiglaucomatous operations are prescribed courses of general dedystrophic therapy. Besides this, transscleral ultrasound stimulation of the drainage system of the eye was used. The state of visual functions is analysed in 44 patients (48 eyes) with initial open-angle glaucoma, previously subjected to sinusotrabeculectomy. In remote terms after surgical intervention besides traditional treatment, they underwent local transscleral ultrasound stimulation of the drainage system of the eye. The results obtained were compared with those of the control group (20 persons--22 eyes) where only a course of general therapy was used in the postoperative period. The investigations carried out permitted to state that complex treatment including courses of local ultrasound (after 6 months, at the average) and general dedystrophic therapy (1-2 times a year) is more rational and allows to stabilize the glaucomatous process at the initial stage within a long period of time in 90.5% of cases.
