PreserFlo Meets Morcher: Short-Term Outcome in Complex Post-Traumatic Eye with PKP and Aniridia Ring: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Glaucoma following corneal transplantation and artificial iris implantation represents a major therapeutic challenge, and data on optimal surgical management in such complex cases are scarce.

Case presentation

We report the case of a 28-year-old male with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) after penetrating keratoplasty and Morcher aniridia ring implantation. Despite maximally tolerated medical therapy, IOP remained elevated. PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation was performed successfully, leading to sustained IOP reduction without medications and preservation of graft clarity at 7-month follow-up.

Conclusion

To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation in a patient with combined keratoplasty and Morcher aniridi
