he migration, transformation, and implant of lens epithelial cells into corneal endothelium in a malignant glaucoma patient with bullous keratopathy: a case report

Malignant glaucoma, caused by aqueous misdirection, is a challenging post-surgical complication presented with normal/high intraocular pressure (IOP) and shallowing both of central and peripheral anterior chamber. Its incidence is about 0.6%~4%. It can be secondary to filtering surgeries, laser iridotomy, cataract surgery. Short axial length and a history of angle closure glaucoma are its main risk factors. Here, we report a bilateral malignant glaucoma with bullous keratopathy in the patient's left eye. Interestingly, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of her left eye improved to 20/70 and bullous keratopathy was relieved after the migration and implant of lens epithelial cells into corneal endothelium.
