Goniosynechialysis for secondary angle closure glaucoma in aphakic patient after pars plana vitrectomy
Purpose: To report the effectiveness of Goniosynechialysis (GSL) treating elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in an aphakic eye with peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) formation after vitrectomy. Observations: A 39-year-old gentleman with history of lamellar keratoplasty for corneal ectasia and blu...

| description | Purpose: To report the effectiveness of Goniosynechialysis (GSL) treating elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in an aphakic eye with peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) formation after vitrectomy. Observations: A 39-year-old gentleman with history of lamellar keratoplasty for corneal ectasia and blunt trauma to the right eye necessitating vitrectomy and lensectomy presented to our glaucoma unit with a secondary angle closure and an IOP of 50 mmHg. This was successfully treated with GSL and one year after surgery, the patient maintains a normal IOP without the use of medication. Conclusions and importance: GSL may successfully restore angle integrity in aphakic patients following vitreoretinal surgery and avoid the need for a glaucoma drainage device.
