Abstract
|
|
|
From an eye with chronic angle-closure glaucoma, 0.4 ml of vitreous was aspirated at the same time of trabeculectomy. The ultrasonographic measurement revealed decrease in the length of the vitreous cavity and increase in the depth of the anterior chamber by 0.3 mm at 2 months following the vitreous tap when compared with the preoperative measurement. The other 4 eyes which had undergone argon laser iridectomy or trateculectomy alone did not show change in the intraocular intersegmental distances.
In certain cases with chronic angle-closure glaucoma, it seemed that the vitreous tap procedure might deepen the anterior chamber following a filtration surgery and give a beneficial effect to prevent a further postoperative synechial closure of the chamber angle.
