  • Title: Open-angle glaucoma associated with vitreous humor filling the anterior chamber.
    Author: Samples JR, Van Buskirk EM.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1986 Dec 15; 102(6):759-61. PubMed ID: 3789055.
    Abstract:
    We studied the diagnostic features of vitreous humor filling the anterior chamber in open-angle glaucoma in one patient who developed this phenomenon several years after an intracapsular cataract extraction. In two other patients, vitreous filled the anterior chamber after ocular trauma. These patients had markedly increased intraocular pressures that responded poorly to medical therapy. Follow-up of at least one year with each of our patients suggests that with vitrectomy they have done well.
