  Fig. 1 (A) Changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and filtering bleb appearance (B) 3 months before and (C) 5 months after cataract surgery. Ocular hypotony developed 3 months after the cataract surgery and improved after 7 months. However, the IOP was still substantially increased, and additional glaucoma surgery was needed to control the patient's elevated IOP.
