Abstract

Trabeculectomy with mitomycin C was performed on three patients with traumatic dislocate crystalline lens and refractory secondary glaucoma, combined with pars plana vitrectomy, intravitreal phacofragmentation and scleral fixation of the IOL. Over nine months after operations, intraocular pressures were well controlled not only without any antiglaucomatous medications and special complications but also with good visual recovery in all patients . Trebeculectomy combined with pars plana vitrectomy may be useful in some patients wit hvireoretinal disease and glaucoma.
