2604: lysis of synechiae with gonio view

Image showing a gonio view of lysis of synechiae and reopening of a blocked glaucoma angle stent, with annotations indicating extensive posterior synechiae.

Our CataractCoach Podcast guest yesterday was Dr Deborah Ristvedt and we learned how she brings a wide range of surgical expertise to her patients, including glaucoma procedures. In this case, she has a pseudophakic patient with extensive synechiae at the pupil margin and also in the angle. She uses a gonioscopic view to lyse these synechiae and help restore aqueous outflow to keep the intra-ocular pressure under control. What is your approach to cases like this?
