Description
Summary:We report a case of traumatic bleb leak following trabeculectomy and dislocated intraocular lens treated with combined minimally invasive conjunctival surgery (MICS) and lens repositioning. A 36-year-old woman with a history of phacomorphic glaucoma secondary to microspherophakia and status post trabeculectomy underwent combined MICS and lens repositioning for a late-onset bleb leak and dislocated intraocular lens following minor trauma. The patient's vision rapidly improved postoperatively with prompt resolution of hypotony. MICS is an effective treatment for traumatic bleb leak following trabeculectomy that can be a particularly useful approach for patients undergoing concurrent ophthalmic surgery.
