ABSTRACT
Results of filtration surgery, as a means of treating aphakic glaucoma secondary to presence of vitreous in anterior chamber, were improved when vitrectomy was combined with it. A thorough anterior vitrectomy was possible by using an anterior chamber maintained and consequently an 80% success rate could be achieved. Filtration was sited to either side of previous cataract section. Visual results were good, as 47% of cases could enjoy better vision, compared to 20% of cases who had worsening of their preoperative vision
