Two months later, the patient had a full anterior chamber and corneal integrity except for an anterior synechia at the inferonasal part of the pupillary edge (Fig. 2A). The BCVA was 20/63 at the sixth month after the first AMT surgery, despite the development of a cataract in the right eye (Fig. 2B), and the appearance of the left eye remained as observed in the initial examination (Fig. 3).
