ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe 2 cases of long-term successful clinical outcome after goniosynechialysis for secondary angle-closure glaucoma after vitreoretinal surgery.METHODS:
Case reports. Goniosynechialysis was performed bilaterally in 1 patient and unilaterally in another for uncontrolled angle-closure glaucoma after vitreoretinal surgery.RESULTS:
Angle reopening was performed 2 to 4 months after initial closure. After follow-up of between 3 and 5 years, intraocular pressure has remained below 21 mm Hg without medication in all three eyes.CONCLUSION:
Goniosynechialysis should be considered a viable therapeutic alternative to filtration surgery in selected patients with a recent history of angle-closure glaucoma after vitreoretinal surgery.
