Abstract

We report 3 cases of ghost cell glaucoma all of which occurred in phakic patients with onset between 18 months and 4 years after vitreous haemorrhage. There appears to have been spontaneous disruption of the anterior hyaloid face in all 3 cases. Control of the glaucoma was achieved by medical treatment in one case and by trabeculectomy in two.
