Surgical treatment of secondary postuveal glaucoma by microinvasive non-penetrating deep sclerectomy with Healaflow implant injection: clinical case

Abstract

The study aim wasto evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of postveal uncompensated glaucoma in a patient with chronic infectious uveitis by microinvasive non-penetrating deep sclerectomy using drainage implant Healaflow . Material and methods . In a patient with the history of chronic uveitis , for the purpose of surgical treatment of secondary uncompensated post-uveal glaucoma , a microinvasive non-penetrating deep sclerectomy with the introduction of Healaflow has been performed in order to stabilize intraocular pressure , visual acuity and visual field . Healaflow was used to prevent proliferation and scarring in the early postoperative period . Results . At the follow-up period of 6 months after the operation , the drainage outflow tracts were preserved ; intraocular pressure was stabilized . Conclusions . Microinvasive non-penetrating sclerectomy with Healaflow injection is the safe and effective method of surgical treatment of patients with postveal uncompensated glaucoma . The use of Healaflow is an effective method for preventing scarring of formed drainage outflow tracts .
