In pursuance of our purpose to avoid uveal tissue, we split the cornea, and place the trephine as far forward as such splitting will allow, and we bear on the trephine in such a way that it cuts through on the corneal edge of the wound first.    From Wordnik.com.  [Glaucoma A Symposium Presented at a Meeting of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society, November 17, 1913] Reference

Second: The object of trephining is to tap and permanently drain the aqueous fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye into the sub-conjunctival space; in doing so it is essential to avoid as far as possible all interference with the uveal tissue.    From Wordnik.com.  [Glaucoma A Symposium Presented at a Meeting of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society, November 17, 1913] Reference
