Deposition of a fibrin-like material leading to a membrane in the pupillary opening is described in glaucoma patients following extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. The fibrinoid reaction was observed in 4 out of 57 eyes (7%), all operated on within two years by the same surgeon (CTL). The fibrinoid reaction appeared 2 to 15 days postoperatively in glaucoma patients on whom iridoplasty or synechiolysis had been performed during surgery. It seems advisable to give such patients long-acting subconjunctival steroids at the end of the operation.

This case study details a 41-year-old male patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) who presented with ocular hypertension. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in his right eye progressively increased over time, leading to visual field loss, culminating in a diagnosis of juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG). Despite conventional medical therapies, adequate IOP control was not achieved, necessitating his referral to Nagoya City University Hospital.

Persistent hypotony following Tanito microhook trabeculotomy (TMH) is rare but may occur due to the development of cyclodialysis clefts. We report a case of a Japanese man in his 40s who developed persistent hypotony and hypotony maculopathy after TMH in the left eye. Fourteen months after the surgery, the patient was referred to our institution due to prolonged hypotony that remained undiagnosed and untreated despite evaluations with gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) at the referring clinic.

Background: Human anterior lens capsules (ALCs) have great potential in the treatment of multiple eye diseases, including corneal ulcers, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and macular holes. ALCs are also regarded as promising scaffolds for various ocular cells. Here, we investigated different decellularization methods for removing lens epithelial cells (LECs) that adhered to ALCs.
