Abstract
A
76
-
year
-old
male
presented
with
post-traumatic
aphakia
and
aniridia
in
the
right
eye
.
The
ocular
pressure
was
24
 
mmHg
despite
treatment
with
mixed
eyedrops
of
timolol
0
.
5
%
and
dorzolamide
,
brimonidine
0
.
1
%
,
and
Latananoprost
0
.
005
%
.
The
glaucomatous
cup
excavation
was
0
.
8
.
Because
it
was
his
only
eye
,
we
informed
him
of
the
possibility
of
the
Ex-
PRESS
implant
as
a
possible
prevention
measure
of
possible
postoperative
hypotony
.
Seidel
,
hypotony
,
and
choroidal
detachment
were
not
observed
in
the
postoperative
period
.
In
the
first
two
postoperative
months
,
the
pressure
remained
at
14
 
mmHg
.
The
ocular
pressure
reached
20
 
mmHg
at
three
months
,
so
he
was
treated
with
mixed
eyedrops
of
timolol
0
.
5
%
and
brimonidine
0
.
1
%
.
The
ocular
pressure
decreased
to
12
 
mmHg
and
remained
at
that
level
at
the
10
-
month
follow-up
.
The
absence
of
serious
postoperative
complications
suggest
that
this
procedure
may
be
an
alternative
in
selected
situations
,
such
as
for
our
patient
.
