Objective / Purpose Glaucoma in keratoprosthesis is a serious long-term
complication which can lead to irreversible loss of vision. Managing glaucoma
in such eyes is a challenge. Detection of glaucoma and its management
following Keratoprosthesis implantation surgery can be a challenge. Summary
of Content The usual line of management of glaucoma through treatment
of variations in the intraocular pressure cannot be pursued as intraocular
pressure cannot be accurately assessed in eyes with Keratoprosthesis. The
glaucoma drainage device is usually implanted either prior to or concurrently
with keratoprosthesis surgery. We shall now demonstrate the technique of
AhmedTM Glaucoma Valve (AGVTM) implantation when it is performed
concurrently with Boston keratoprosthesis.

Objective / Purpose Management of unilateral aphakia with co- existing
glaucoma is challenging. Both visual rehabilitation and IOP control has to be
addressed while managing this condition. Summary of Content Performing a
simultaneous trabeculectomy and scleral fixated intraocular lens is an option.
In this video we demonstrate a simple technique for management of this difficult
condition. This combined procedure provides simultaneous visual rehabilitation
and intraocular pressure control. Scleral suture fixation of a PCIOL combined
with trabeculectomy is a good option in glaucoma patients with contact lens
intolerant unilateral aphakia. It is also useful in patients with complications
of an ACIOL who require visual rehabilitation as well as intraocular pressure
control.

The Differential Diagnosis of Descemet›s Tears (Haab›s Striae) and
Surgical Outcome of Infantile Glaucoma Presented with Acute
Corneal Hydrops

Objective / Purpose Descemet›s Tears (Haab›s Striae) most commonly occurs
in congenital glaucoma. Other etiologies include birth trauma, acute corneal
hydrops in keratoconus, and accidental or surgical trauma. Summary of
Content The present video will highlight the management of 3 children with
infantile glaucoma presented with acute hydrops. The surgical technique of
primary combined Trabeculotomy-Trabeculectomy has been demonstrated on
a 3 month old child with infantile glaucoma. The response to surgery and visual
outcome has been highlighted. Retrospective analysis of 19 children (between
1990 and 2009) revealed good IOP control (
