Abstract
A shallow or flat anterior chamber may occur after complicated cataract surgery, a filtering procedure for glaucoma, or combined surgery. We describe a technique for injecting sodium hyaluronate (Healon®) into the anterior chamber through the previous paracentesis tract in the operating room or at the slitlamp microscope. Re-forming the anterior chamber with Healon may pre-empt the anatomical sequelae of prolonged anterior chamber shallowing and prevent the need for more invasive surgery.
