Echothiophate iodide for flat anterior chamber following cataract extraction. 1977

L Rothkoff, and B Biedner, and M Blumenthal

Three cases are presented of late flat anterior chambers which were cured by echothiophate iodide treatment. Two of the cases required repeated instillations to achieve permanent restoration of normal chamber depth. We now recommend that echothiophate treatment be considered in cases of late flat anterior chamber unresponsive to standard medical treatment.
