We report a patient who presented with endocapsular capsule tension ring (CTR) in iridocorneal angle leading to secondary angle closure glaucoma (ACG) and subsequent removal of the CTR from trabeculectomy ostium. Secondary ACG was diagnosed 2 years and 6 months after cataract surgery in which a CTR was used for zonular instability. CTR removal with trabeculectomy was performed, after which there was the resolution of symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in which CTR was removed from trabeculectomy ostium. We describe a surgical technique to explant CTR and combining with trabeculectomy.

We present a case of intrusion of a Dacron suture 8 years after scleral buckling surgery. Though rare, scleral buckle has to be removed if it is associated with complications like intrusion or extrusion, infection, or anterior segment ischemia. In this report we highlight a case of intrusion of Dacron sutures and high buckle indent leading to retinal ischemia, neovascularization and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage. We managed this case by buckle removal but we could not remove the subretinal Dacron sutures.
