Abstract

This report delineates a case of persistent intraocular pressure (IOP) after trauma, phaco vitrectomy, necessitating repeated surgical interventions for effective management. A 51-year-old male presented with a history of right eye basketball injury, reporting a month-long experience of a dark shadow in his vision. Initial assessment revealed visual acuity (VA) of 50/100 in the right eye and 80/100 in the left eye, accompanied by elevated IOP (25 mmHg) and several ocular anomalies, including lens opacity and vitreous hemorrhage. Surgical procedures, including phacoemulsification, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, vitrectomy, gas-liquid exchange, and retinal laser photocoagulation, were performed on the right eye. Despite these interventions, persistent high IOP necessitated further management, including anterior chamber punctures followed by tube implant.
