Abstract:
We report two histopathologically proven cases of epithelial downgrowth in which the secondary glaucoma was controlled by a double-plate Molteno tube shunt and useful vision restored with a penetrating keratoplasty. The combination of a tube shunt and penetrating keratoplasty may be indicated to maintain useful vision in advanced cases of epithelial downgrowth associated with secondary glaucoma.
