Abstract
A late adolescent girl presented with medically uncontrolled glaucoma and aphakia post-fire-cracker injury to the right eye. She underwent single-loop fixation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation with reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in the immediate postoperative period. She sustained second trauma 6 days later resulting in tube retraction and an IOP of 38 mm Hg. An anterior repositioning of the tube–plate complex was performed and IOP remained under control for 5 months. She then developed a tenon cyst and the IOP rose to 24 mm Hg, for which topical timolol and dorzolamide and digital massage were administered. The IOP was in the lower teens, sans medication and aided vision of 0.50 LogMAR at the 1 year follow-up. This case highlights the outcomes of single-loop fixation of IOL with AGV in a post-traumatic setting and subsequent management of complications.
