Abstract

Objective To observe the effect of combination vitrectomy in the treatment of secondary glaucoma.Methods Seventy-two cases(72 eyes) of secondary glaucoma were treated with combination vitrectomy,which was performed via three canals in the pars plana of ciliary body.According to the differences of the primary disease of each patient,vitrectomy combined with lentectomy or repositio retinae was performed accordingly.Intraocular tension and vision were followed up after surgery.Results Of the 72 patients,postoperative intraocular pressure of 65 patients was within normal range,that of six patients was2.793-3.990 kPa,and that of one was 3.990 kPa,their intraocular tension declined to normal after application of eye pressure lowering drugs.All of the patients' vision improved or same as before surgery.Conclusion Combination vitrectomy is an effective therapy for secondary glaucoma.
