Abstract:
We present a post-trabeculectomy patient suffering from blurred vision and foreign body sensation that was not alleviated by conventional treatments. Our treatment involved placing a gold weight implant onto the anterior surface of the tarsal plate to gravity-assist closure and increase coverage of the filtering bleb.
