Materials and Methods: Initial and last visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), additional medical treatment or surgical procedures and latest clinical findings were evaluated in the patients.

Results: Eight eyes of 8 patients were involved in this study. Mean patient age was 49.5±17.9 years. Primary diagnosis included retinal detachment with retinal hole/giant retinal tear, vitreous hemorrhage due to diabetic retinopathy and epiretinal membrane formation. Intraocular tamponades used after vitrectomy included silicone oil in 5 eyes, SF6 in 2 eyes and C3F8 in one eye. Glaucoma surgeries included non-penetrating deep sclerectomy(NPDS) in 3 eyes, trabeculectomy in 4 eyes (with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) in 3 eyes), trabeculectomy with 5FU and phacoemulsification+intraocular lens implantation in one eye and trabeculectomy in one eye following NPDS. Mean preoperative IOP was 29.83±7.80 mmHg in 6 eyes which underwent trabeculectomy. Mean IOP was 22.5±4.80 mmHg (n=6) at postoperative 1st month and 20.6±5.41 mmHg at last visit. Mean follow-up time was 13±8.6 months. Seven out of 8 patients needed antiglaucomatous medical therapy. Median initial VA was seeing hand movements and last median VA was 15/100. Anatomical success was achieved in all but one.

Conclusion: In this case series, glaucoma surgery was found ineffective, and early postoperative antiglaucomatous treatment was needed. Regular and continuous follow-up of these patients is needed. Keywords : Vitrectomy, silikon oil, gas, trabeculectomy, glaucoma
