Persistent ocular hypotony is a complex and ongoing challenge faced in ophthalmology. It can result in early ocular phthisis and associated visual decline, pain and deformity. We present the first case series, in which repeated intracameral injections of highly reticulated hyaluronic acid (Healaflow) have successfully prevented the complications of ocular hypotony in the long term. We believe it is a viable management option that can bring about a significant improvement to the quality of life in this subgroup of patients while avoiding frequent intervention.
持续性低眼压是眼科面临的一个复杂且持续存在的挑战。它可导致早期眼球痨及相关的视力下降、疼痛和畸形。我们报告了首个病例系列,其中反复前房内注射高度交联透明质酸(Healaflow)成功长期预防了低眼压的并发症。我们认为这是一种可行的治疗选择,可显著改善该亚组患者的生活质量,同时避免频繁干预。
