Abstract: 【Abstract】 A 11-years old boy with congenital aniridia and glaucoma received trabecuectomy in his both eyes when he was 6 months-old. When he was 10 years-old he received phacoemulsifacation and intraocular lens surgery, and 6 months after phacoemulsifacation his intraocular pressure with non-contact tonometer was 32/34 mm Hg (OD/OS). However, his central corneal thickness was 850/827 μm (OD/OS), and cup-disc ratio was 0.2 in both eyes. Does he need to continue treatment? (Ophthalmol CHN, 2012, 21: 234-238)
