Popis: A new surgical technique is described for the attempted relief of glaucoma in a dog. To achieve aqueous drainage a Supramid thread was placed in the anterior chamber, threaded subconjunctival^ across the globe and inserted into the nasolacrimal duct via the dorsal lacrimal punctum. It is hoped that the level of success achieved in this one case will prompt others, to investigate the nasolacrimal duct as a possible drainage route for aqueous fluid.
