“…Rubbing of the eye by a patient with a loosely sutured scleral flap can lead to migration of an unsutured implant; this is probably the case in our patient. From this case and the case reported by Qing and Wang [10], it seems that an SK-GEL implant can be tolerated by the eye in anterior chamber or in subconjunctival space. However, long term follow-up is needed.…”

A new complication after deep sclerectomy with implant is presented as a case report. A 42-year-old male with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma underwent nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) with an SK-GEL implant in his left eye. Two months after surgery the implant was noted to migrate into the subconjunctival space. Seven months later the implant was stable in the new position without complication. Implant migration into the subconjunctival space is a possible complication of NPDS.

“…The implant was removed because of corneal edema and the anterior chamber reaction induced by its presence. Qing and Wang [10] reported migration of an SK-GEL implant in the anterior chamber after laser goniopuncture. The implant remained in the anterior chamber for 10 months without sequelae.…”

Sir, Recurrent iris prolapse after laser goniopuncture in an open-angle glaucoma patient treated with non-penetrating trabecular surgery Laser goniopuncture on the trabeculo-Descemet's membrane may be required to treat a late rise in pressure when non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS) begins to fail. 1,2 Herein we report a case of recurrent iris prolapse after laser goniopuncture and prophylactic peripheral iridotomy in a patient treated with NPTS. Case report A 22-year-old man received uneventful NPTS with reticulated hyaluronic acid implant (SK-GEL) in his left eye for open-angle glaucoma secondary to angle recession. Seven months later, laser goniopuncture was performed due to uncontrolled IOP, which was almost around 30 mm Hg. Twenty days after laser therapy, he complained of blurred vision and de-centred pupil in the operated eye. On biomicroscopy the pupil was found to be pear-shaped and de-centred superiorly. The transparent triangular SK-GEL implant was observed in the inferior anterior chamber. The IOP was 43 mm Hg. Gonioscopy showed that the superior iris root had prolapsed into the intrascleral chamber through the goniopuncture site. Goniosynechialysis was carried out to reposition the iris root through peripheral corneal incision, but the SK-GEL was left in this phakic eye. To prevent reoccurrence of iris prolapse, laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) was performed at peripheral iris of 12 o'clock. 3

Abstract: Sir, Reticulated hyaluronic acid implant (SK-GEL) dislocated into anterior chamber for 10 months Laser goniopuncture may cause migration of intrascleral implant in non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTs).
