Results: Six of nine eyes recovered visual acuity to within one line of initial level after treatment of the hypotony.
2
No patient developed hypotony.
3
An unsuccessful outcome was one in which the retina was attached with macular pucker or hypotony or was anatomically detached.
4
However, it seems to be safer than manual extracapsular surgery because it minimized the risk of intraoperative eye hypotony or collapse.
5
Methods: A 16-year-old girl presented with vision loss and hypotony of her left eye following a craniofacial procedure, including bilateral medial canthopexy.
6
In this series of patients, visual acuity was restored to eyes with hypotony maculopathy by increasing the IOP to higher than normal levels.
7
Four of these six eyes underwent resuturing of the scleral flap to reverse the excess filtration within 6 months of the onset of hypotony maculopathy.
