AIM: To explore the clinical effect of Ahmed glaucoma valve implant combined with lensectomy and vitrectomy for glaucoma secondary to traumatic lens subluxation. METHODS: Nine eyes which performed Ahmed glaucoma valve implant combined with lensectomy and vitrectomy and ciliary sulcus fixation of intraocular lenses for glaucoma secondary to lens subluxation were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The visual acuity was improved in 8 eyes after surgery. The intraocular pressure decreased from 44.11 (plus or minus) 8.85mmHg pre-operation to 14.78 (plus or minus) 5.52mmHg. The complications concluded transient hypotony, tube block-age, and drainage disk encapsulation, and they all recovered well after treatment. CONCLUSION: Ahmed glaucoma valve implant combined with lensectomy and vitrectomy and ciliary sulcus fixation of intraocular lenses is a safe and effective way to treat glaucoma secondary to traumatic lens subluxation.LA: Japanese
