• Resumen

  • ABSTRACT: We report the case of a young female carrier of type 2 Peters’ anomaly with microphthalmia and difficult-to-control glaucoma and vision loss in the left eye due to glaucomatous neuropathy. The cataract progressed in the right eye, reducing best spectaclecorrected visual acuity to 1/10. Treatment was performed solely on the cataract via the pars plana approach without placement of an intraocular lens. After surgery, best corrected visual acuity with a hard contact lens was 3/10 and intraocular pressure was 17 mmHg.

    At 18 months of follow-up, improvement in vision and corneal stability was maintained and intraocular pressure was better controlled with hypotensive medication.
