Abstract
This is a single case report of an elderly patient who had
blunt trauma in an eye that had phacoemulsification and two
trabeculectomies. She had good vision with a well-functioning
bleb before the trauma. She presented during her routine followup
visit for glaucoma with isolated aniridia and an intact globe.
The capsular bag, zonules, and the intraocular lens were intact.
The cupping was 0.8, and the rest of the fundus and macula were
normal. Pigments were seen over the sclera extending posteriorly
upto the fornix. Gonioscopy revealed only faint pigments at
the fistula. Following the trauma, the intraocular pressure had
increased to 26 mm Hg. The mechanism and the management of
the glaucoma are discussed.
