Iris incarceration associated with digital ocular massage.
Iris incarceration into the trabeculectomy site occurred in three patients following the use of digital ocular massage to maintain satisfactory aqueous humor filtration. The iris incarceration occurred within the first six weeks after surgery and the institution of ocular massage. There had been no complications at the time of surgery, and immediately postoperatively the iris was in normal position. The success of the trabeculectomies was compromised by the iris incarceration.
