This modified goniotomy technique uses sodium hyaluronate to improve anterior chamber depth and visualization, potentially reducing complications. The procedure successfully controlled glaucoma without medication in all treated eyes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Classical goniotomy is a surgical procedure for glaucoma.
  • Maintaining anterior chamber stability and optimal visualization are critical during goniotomy.

Observation:

  • A modified goniotomy technique involves complete chamber evacuation followed by sodium hyaluronate application to the anterior chamber and cornea.
  • This application prevents air bubbles, equalizes refractive index, maintains chamber depth, and prevents accidental chamber loss.

Findings:

  • The modified technique may reduce intraocular bleeding and risk of injury to corneal endothelium, iris, and lens.
  • Five goniotomies were performed on four eyes across two patients.
  • Glaucoma was successfully controlled without medication in all four eyes, with one eye requiring multiple procedures.

Implications:

  • This modified goniotomy offers potential advantages for glaucoma management.
  • The technique demonstrates successful glaucoma control with reduced medication dependency.
  • Further studies may validate the safety and efficacy of this enhanced goniotomy approach.
