A total of 45 patients (45 eyes) were operated on by using the technique of non-perforating deep sclerotomy (NDST). A conclusion on the action mechanism, efficiency and indications for NDST was made on the basis of determining the retention degree and of the intraoperative monitoring of tonometry and tonography parameters. Perforations of various scopes were proven to have an impact on the surgical hypotensive effect; finally, intraoperative measures were suggested in case of NDST inefficiency.
