Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation children with uveitic glaucoma.
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Methods: Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥5 and ≤21 mm Hg.
Purpose: To describe a novel technique of combined penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) with implantation of a new scleral-fixated, sutureless, posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) (Soleko, Carlevale).
Methods: New surgical approach description.
Results: We describe a novel technique for the management of PKP graft failure and posttraumatic aphakia with repeat-PKP and simultaneous implantation of a new scleral-fixated, sutureless PC-IOL.
