A 62-year-old black woman with uncontrolled chronic narrow-angle glaucoma on 3-drug therapy underwent phaco-non-perforating deep sclerectomy of her left eye. During surgery it was revealed that she had long zonule trait. She later required goniopuncture and conjuntival needling, presenting an iris herniation in the goniopuncture that could be reduced conservatively. Long anterior zonule trait should be suspected in those patients presenting with a combination of narrow angle and pigment dispersion syndrome. The management of ocular hypertension and glaucoma associated to this trait is not protocolized. This communication discusses on the best action in this rare form of glaucoma.
