Management of postoperative hypotony with fibrin glue following scleral tunnel-based explantation of pIOL and simultaneous ICL implantation: A case report

In cases where repeat suturing fails to control hypotony after scleral tunnel-based lens exchange, fibrin glue offers a minimally invasive, rapid, and effective alternative to restore wound integrity. Early detection of endothelial damage and the use of a low-trauma scleral tunnel approach can help preserve corneal health during pIOL-to-ICL transitions. However, as this is a single case, further evidence is needed to confirm the durability and safety of this approach in broader clinical settings.

Abstract

In cases where repeat suturing fails to control hypotony after scleral tunnel-based lens exchange, fibrin glue offers a minimally invasive, rapid, and effective alternative to restore wound integrity. Early detection of endothelial damage and the use of a low-trauma scleral tunnel approach can help preserve corneal health during pIOL-to-ICL transitions. However, as this is a single case, further evidence is needed to confirm the durability and safety of this approach in broader clinical settings.
