Minimally invasive approach for the management of tube–corneal touch in aniridic glaucoma

Abstract

Aniridic glaucoma, with a prevalence of around 50% in aniridia patients, often requires surgical management with glaucoma drainage device implantation. It is associated with many complications related to the tube or plate. We present a case of tube endothelial touch in aniridic glaucoma where repositioning of the Ahmed glaucoma valve tube was performed using transcameral prolene suture fixation. The advantage of this technique is that it is minimally invasive and maintains the stability of the anterior chamber throughout the surgery.
