Abstract
Introduction:
The surgical management of glaucoma has evolved over time.
Case Report:
This report describes the first ever case, to our knowledge, of bilateral Scheie's procedures performed with retention of an ophthalmic viscoelastic device and intraoperative and post-operative 5-fluorouracil injections.
Discussion:
These procedures have now successfully controlled the intraocular pressure in both of the patient's eyes for more than 17 years.
