Severe pupil distortion following transchamber repair of a cyclodialysis cleft.

This report describes a potential complication following the repair of a traumatic cyclodialysis cleft in a pediatric patient using a novel technique. A healthy 11-year-old boy suffered a blunt traumatic tennis ball injury to his left eye. He underwent repair of a retinal dialysis with detachment shortly after the injury.

Sequential or simultaneous cyclophotocoagulation and glaucoma drainage implant for refractory glaucoma.

Purpose: To describe the outcomes of combining cyclophotocoagulation and tube-shunt glaucoma drainage implants, either sequentially or simultaneously, for the control of refractory glaucomas.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients that had been treated at our institute with both cyclophotocoagulation and a tube-shunt glaucoma drainage implant in the same eye between January 1996 and June 2000. Preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure, number of glaucoma medications, vision, and complications data were collected for each eye.
