Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Surgery
  • Ocular Surface Reconstruction

Background:

  • Cystic filtration blebs are common after glaucoma surgery.
  • Persistent leaks from these blebs can lead to complications such as infection and hypotony.
  • Current management options for bleb leaks may be limited.

Observation:

  • A case of persistent cystic filtration bleb leak was identified.
  • The leak was located within the cystic filtration bleb.

Findings:

  • A full-thickness donor scleral patch was successfully applied to seal the leak.
  • The procedure resulted in effective and efficient closure of the persistent bleb leak.

Implications:

  • This technique provides a viable surgical option for managing persistent bleb leaks.
