Healon has been found to be extremely useful Careful suturing of the scleral pening
reformation of the anterior chamber with Healon and instillation of atropine to produce adequate relaxation of the ciliary body [1 ]
and the administration of local and general corticosteroids to inhibit the inflammatory reaction are imperative to avoid these complications If

ciliary block glaucoma does occur
osmotherapy must be started immediately intravenous mannitol

lyophilized urea
the pupil must be dilated using atropine and phenylephrine [4 ,10 ]
and the doses of corticosteroids should be increased mg of prednisone in intramuscular injection and frequent instillation of dexamethasone eye drops If the problem does not resolve within a few hours [60 ]
immediate reintervention is imperative Posterior sclerotomy at the level of the pars plana ciliaris Vitrectomy and aspiration of the aqueous humor which is retained behind andor in the vitreous humor Reformation of the anterior chamber with Healon The pupil should be maintained dilated with atropine during a prolonged period of time Prof Joaquin Barraquer MD [1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,4 ]

摘要
<正> In cases of angle-closure glaucoma YAG-Laser iridotomy or classical peripheral iridectomy should be performed early. If the trabeculum is already irreversibly damaged, trabeculectomy must be performed. In open-angle glaucoma cannot be controlled with medical therapy nor Laser-trabeculoplasty, surgical treatment is imperative. Generally, trabeculectomy is considered the operation of choice.Collapse of the anterior chamber is less frequent with trabeculectomy as compared to the classical filtering operations, but it still does occur occasionally. To prevent this complication, the author recommends injection of Healon (sodium hyaluronate) immediately after opening the anterior chamber.If in spite of all precautions the anterior chamber is lost in the postoperative course (due to ciliary block glaucoma or to excessive filtration with secondary detachment of the choroid and ciliary body) and medical treatment is ineffective, reintervention becomes necessary. Injection of Healon to reform the anterior chamber is of choice.
