Methods The causes and curative effect of shallow anterior chamber after trabeculectomy in 32 cases (33 eyes) in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were 32 cases (33 eyes) (8.8%) with shallow anterior chamber in 283 cases (375 eyes) after operation of glaucoma in our hospital from 2007.1-2012.12. The causes were excessive aqueous humor filtration in 23 eyes,filter bleb leaks in 4 eyes, choroidal detachment in 4 eyes, malignant glaucoma in 1 eyes,unknown causes in 1 eye. 3 eyes needed surgical procedure for the reformation of anterior or chamber. Conclusion The incidence of shallow anterior chamber is high after trabeculectomy. Most of the shallow anterior chamber can be reformed through conservation treatment.
