title: Lisch nodules after trabeculectomy.
abstract: The development of Lisch nodules in an eye that had undergone trabeculectomy with mitomycin C is described. Complete ophthalmologic examinations and genetic testing of a 12-year-old boy were performed. Lisch nodules can develop after trabeculectomy without the systemic manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1.
